Amazon Basics 4K@30Hz HDMI to HDMI and Audio (RCA Stereo or Spdif) Extractor Converter, Black

Extracts the audio from the incoming hdmi signal. Works perfectly and still keeps the audio working on the outgoing hdmi signal.

Worked perfectly for a specific problem I had, I’ll say what it was. I had a ps3 and had it hooked up to a monitor with no audio output or speakers (the ps3 doesn’t have one.) and this was the only way for me to get to listen to the game audio (instead of buying a pair of headphones that Sony no longer makes.) so if anybody else is in this super particular predicament then yeah I recommend you get one of these. Video quality remains mostly the same, however it requires you to sacrifice a usb port on the console just for it to power on, but I’m unsure about any changes to fps.

Purchased second hand to try. Extracts audio from hdmi and allows for a coaxial digital connection to a dac. Works ok.

Excellent device. Very well build. Easy to use. Outstanding value for money.

Terrible bit of kit, bought it to go with my Amazon fire stick as my monitor has no jack inout and the connection cuts out every few seconds , sometimes it lasts a minute but seems to consistently cut out and keeps resetting the fire stick so no way to use the fire stick which is what I originally bought it for, I have just tested it out on my PlayStation that I just bought and it is almost worse as it cuts out for about ten seconds then comes back on . Stay away from this dodgy bit of tech

Worked great for most channels on our 2026 sky stream puck. But some non-live sky HD channels wouldn't play. A different device works for this.

I got this extractor to use with Chromecast in order to play Internet radio on old hifi without Internet capabilities. I did not use it for video, hence no rating for picture quality. At the price, the sound is great. On 350 quid Denon all in one system it sounds obviously worse than CD but not by as much as price difference would suggest. It is much smaller than you would guess from website picture. It has got both optical and coax digital out. Via my Chord DAC on my main hifi system it sounds even better but clearly my friend streamer is superior. But at 30 times the price it hardly surprising. So as a cheap way of adding Internet radio to old hifi it works brilliantly. I still do not understand why Amazon or other big brands can not produce 50 quid box which would combine functionality of Wi-Fi receiver and audio extractor.

Since our setup depends on optical, it was a blow to realise that Sony had dropped the optical out from the new PS5. However, less than 24 hours later, Amazon delivered this little box, and it fixed the issue in minutes. The only downside I can see is you'll need 2 hdmi cables rather than 1. I chose the box simply because it was small. It's sturdy, it needs a 5v supply. provided in my case by using supplied power lead plugged into the PS5 spare usb port. Quality seems excellent. I have not tested or used the audio output. I would not have high expectations though, I mean, it would require a DAC and an amp to be of reasonable quality, which at this price would not be possible even if that was it's only function. So, sound quality good. build quality good. All that remains is to test reliability. So far I recommend highly.
