Needed if you want to run surround sound out of your Mac
Posted by VinnieVidi from NYC on 2010-01-29

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Does what it is supposed to, Durability
Cons: Can't think of any

It does what it says and does it well. Not much to say beyond that. If you need a Toslink to mini adaptor, you need not look further.

Does the job
Posted by mathius on 2010-01-21

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: Small, Cheap, Works well
Cons: Plastic construction

I bought this to connect my toslink optical cable to my Apple Mac Mini. While I wish it had some additional reinforcement (a la metal) it fits well with the cable and my digital-out port. I don't really have any complaints, plus you can't beat the price.

great doohickey for optical outs
Posted by IAmARockIAmAnIsland from Berkeley, CA on 2010-01-16

Recommend Product: Yes
Pros: small, simple, three bucks
Cons: I don't know how to spell doohickey

I am a sound engineer who does a ton of work on a laptop, a MacBook pro to be specific. The headphone out jack on the MacBook is also an optical mini jack that sends digital stereo (S/P-DIF) through an optical cable. I have a high quality switcher/receiver that does D-A conversion very well and takes optical input, but like most optical interfaces in the world of pro audio, it takes the regular flat, squarish end, (TOS). I do own one cable that is mini optical on one side and regular on the other, but most often in studios you will find optical cables that are regular on both ends. This little thing lives in my pouch of audio adapters and has been there when i needed it.

Oh and it comes with a small plastic cap to protect the metal end from getting dirty or scuffed.
