The kenable 008010 Digital Audio Converter is designed for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts who need to bridge the gap between legacy audio gear and modern input hardware. It serves as a reliable bridge to convert Phono (RCA) coaxial signals into TOS optical light signals, ensuring compatibility with modern soundbars and receivers. One caveat to keep in mind is that this device is strictly intended for 240V power supplies and is not compatible with 110V systems like those found in the USA.

No, this device is for digital coaxial (SPDIF) signals only. It will not convert analog audio signals.
No, the power supply provided is strictly for 240V systems. Using it on a 110V network may result in insufficient power or device failure.
The converter passes the signal provided. If your source device outputs a 5.1 PCM or bitstream signal over coax, the converter will pass it, but check your receiving device's compatibility.
No, you will need to provide your own optical TOSLINK cable for the output connection.
The red light of the TOS optical output typically only activates when a valid digital signal is being detected and processed from the input.
Ensure the input source is set to output digital PCM and check that the optical cable is firmly seated in the output port.
Verify that your coaxial cable is shielded and that it is not being pinched or bent sharply, as digital coaxial signals are sensitive to physical impedance.
To set up the device, ensure the input source is configured to output PCM digital audio, as many converters do not handle compressed surround sound formats (like DTS or Dolby Digital) through coaxial inputs. Use a high-quality, short coaxial cable for the input to minimize interference.
Compatibility is limited to digital audio signals; this device will not convert analog RCA audio to digital. For care, keep the unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating, and always use the included 6V power adapter. Using a third-party power supply with different voltage or amperage specifications can cause permanent damage to the internal components.
