Goobay Digital to Analogue Audio Converter – Optical / Coaxial to RCA & 3.5mm
Bring classic hi-fi gear into the digital age. This pocket-size DAC takes pristine 192 kHz optical or coaxial signals from a Blu-ray player, console or TV and outputs smooth analogue stereo for amps, powered speakers or headphones. Aluminium housing keeps things cool, while plug-and-play power over the included 5 V adapter means zero driver hassle.

Interesting Facts About DAC Technology
- A 192 kHz signal carries roughly four times more audio data per second than a standard 48 kHz TV feed.
- S/PDIF coaxial uses 75 Ω impedance – identical to broadcast video cabling – which helps maintain signal integrity over longer runs.
- Aluminium dissipates heat about three times faster than ABS plastic, prolonging component life in compact electronics.
