First off I would hook the toslink from the TV to the Peachtree iDecco for a short while to determine if it is the convertor or the TV. If it is the TV your stuck if the convertor see if you can exchange it for a better one.
Optical to RCA converter
I scored a great deal on a new Panasonic plasma tv. Unlike my older Panasonic, the only audio out is an optical (toslink) out, and there is no analog audio out.
I have a Peachtree iDecco, which only has one optical input that is being used for my older generation Apple TV which I use as a music server. I had my older tv running into the AUX input via analog audio outs.
I purchased a Gefen optical to rca converter on Amazon for about $60. On the one hand, it does what it claims and allows me to use the AUX input for the tv. However, the sound quality leaves alot to be desired.
Anyone have any suggestions on an alternative to get better quality audio from the tv optical out when my available input is an RCA input?
