Comments about Cables To Go TOSLINK® Digital Audio Selector Switch:

I have the selector switch bringing TV and DVD audio to my amplifier. Works great. Much easier than unhooking the digital audio wires and switching them back and forth; easier on me and on the wires.

Comments about Cables To Go TOSLINK® Digital Audio Selector Switch:

This product is great. I needed a few extra SPDIF ports to hookup components (I have a ton of components) to my receiver. I started with a TOSLINK 1-2 splitter but it sucked and didn't work. I replaced it with this product in a matter of seconds and it works great. No complaints here...Recommend to those in need of some extra SPDIF ports.

Comments about Cables To Go TOSLINK® Digital Audio Selector Switch:

Since I now have several sources to output digital audio, and only one input to my sound system, I was searching for something just like this. This seemed ideal, and at first was working pretty well. But, when switching from one device to another the switch did not make the new connection very solidly, and I had to wiggle the dial to clean up the noise. This degenerated to the point where I had to unplug and replug the input to get a solid connection and clear the 'static'. Then, for some unknown reason, when I changed cable providers again, the output from the Time-Warner DVR would not go through the switch at all. (Same exact model of DVR, same cables I was using before. very mysterious.) So, I'm back to plugging and unplugging each device every time. However, the switch is making a nice weight to put the loose end of the unplugged cable under to keep it handy.

Comments about Cables To Go TOSLINK® Digital Audio Selector Switch:

My home theater system has only 2 optical digital audio inputs and I needed a third to accommodate my new Apple TV device. The Toslink switch fills that void quite nicely. I can now easily select audio inputs to suit without having to manually swap cables. So far (3 weeks into it), the switch performs as advertised and I am very pleased with it. It is physically bigger than expected, but its convenience outweights its larger footprint for sure.

Comments about Cables To Go TOSLINK® Digital Audio Selector Switch:

I read on line that someone had trouble getting his switch to work. I have put two of them back to back, inputs in one, to outputs from the other. What works works, but 4 of the 9 things I am trying to connect won't work - no audio when the switch knobs are in correct position. This is not so much the switch as it is that light beams from one device to another don't always create sound out the other end. My TV won't power my HDMI/ethernet adapter, and my Mac Pro (2009) won't accept any kind of optical audio input. For the 5 of 9 things that work, the switches are great. I just wish that optical audio didn't take up to 20 seconds to produce sound after the switches are set correctly.

Perfect for use when you have more than one device with optical audio outputs, and your amplifier only has one input. It's small and non-intrusive. The price is reasonable as well.

Comments about Cables To Go TOSLINK® Digital Audio Selector Switch:

I have a cable box AND a blue ray player with "optical out" jacks. Unfortunately the tuner has only 1 optical in jack, so this was the perfect solution for attaching both component optical cables.

Comments about Cables To Go TOSLINK® Digital Audio Selector Switch:

I used this product with the cables I also purchased from this site, I looked on a lot of websites for the items I needed for my system, and this is where my search lead me. They had the best prices[...]There is nothing that they could have done better, if I had to use just a few words to describe doing business with them, "simply astounding" comes to mind! I would recommend this friends and already have, they also got the same customer satisfaction that I received. I can honestly say, there was nothing wrong with the [...]equipment that I purchased.
