Hi Chaps
Been a while since I’ve posted but I’ve kept checking in occasionally.
I need to get a cheap DAC that does Toslink to AUX. Any recommendations?
This is simply for a TV/Games room so ideally looking for sub £100 and open to either used or new.

Cheap DAC
My Kit – I moved to home theatre setup sorry...Denon SR7011, Anthony Gallo A'Diva SE Fronts, SpeakerCraft Profile AIM LCR3 One Rears, BK Electronics XLS200-DF MK2 Sub, Epson Projection.
But I would love a cheeky little AP10, AP20 sort of amp for a bedroom setup...

Re: Cheap DAC
Howdy stranger. Welcome back. Do you mean a DAC that accepts coax, or optical and outputs to RCA connectors, because that's pretty much every DAC there is? Or have I got it arse-backwards?
Something like a Topping D30 would probably suit you down to the ground, but I'll let some of the people here who know a bit more about 'em chime in.

Re: Cheap DAC
Yeah optical in and RCA our which I believe is standard with a DAC isn’t it? I know nothing about DACs.
Will have an Xbox and Switch into a TV that then has optical out, into a DAC and then either into some JBL One 104 or into a small Denon Amp I’ve got and then some small speakers if I can find some that look ok.
With the DAC be good if I could also connect in an Echo Dot somehow.
Sorry I know this is far from Audiophile stuff...just a kids (and mine lol) games/movie chill area.

Re: Cheap DAC
Topping D30, just purchased one on Amazon £80, would be hard to pressed to better this for the money.
