Anyone used a HDMI to stereo rca adapter


If so were there any issues and can you recommend one -

My brand new tv doesn't have rca out, only hdmi and optical and my preamp doesn't accept anything besides rca

Hi R Burke,

I was in the same boat a couple of months back--just got my first flat screen, and I still use tubes too. I ended up getting this:

It works well.

I double checked and I believe tls49 is correct.  The TV is a Sony KDL-50W800C and the manual talks about HDMI to receiver using ARC, but it is an HDMI in, not out. 

There is a digital audio out (optical) so I can use the FiiO that dbtom2 recommended 


Sorry for all of the confusion, it should be obvious that I am not up to speed with current technology - hell I still use tubes :)


Why don’t you list the brand and model of your TV. I doubt your TV has HDMI output as that is rare. I just looked a some top end TV's and none have HDMI output. Some have a 1/8 mini audio out or digital out that can be used.


It does have HDMI outputs, I will have to check for optical outs

I found some HDMI to RCA converters similar to what you posted but not sure if they work the same or not


I am assuming your TV has HDMI INPUTs only. Does it also have HDMI outputs?

I’ve used these for both TV and Apple TV optical out with some success:

There are a few well-reviewed DACs with HDMI input/output. Essence makes one I’ve been considering.

Hope it helps.
