Great piece of kit
30 May 2024

I purchased an Arc 11 a couple of years ago for my son, so I know it works on TVs.

I decided to use the eArc (HDMI) on my TV for audio and then connect to Arc 11 and, from there, to my Sonos Playbar, which only has optical input. It works a treat with no audio lag and accepts DD2 and DD 5.1.

Brilliant.

Perfect sound with no lip sync issues
2 Feb 2023
Verified Buyer
I have a Sony TV with no audio headphone jack output. I needed a solution to convert the digital HDMI ARC output to analogue with no lip sync issues. This Blustream Box was the perfect answer. It enables me to listen through Sennheiser headphones independently of others wishing to listen through a soundbar.

Thanks for your help and recommendation.

So far so good

I’ve been looking for this product for a few weeks now. I’ve tried a couple of cheaper options from Amazon, and it seems to pay a little extra has paid off.

This little gem from Future Shop does exactly what it says on the tin. I wanted a gadget that takes audio from the Arc connection on my tv and convert it to optical audio to connect to an optical audio switch, and bingo!

A little more than I wanted to pay, but it’s worth it. Thanks, guys.

Good movie sound
16 Jun 2022
Verified Buyer
I have a sky glass tv which doesn’t have a headphone plug or optical out so I bought this to get sound to my Denon amp and headphones out via a 5m extension cable. The movie sound is good in my Sennheiser headphones. I haven’t tried music as I have a Denon DAC for that. Build quality seems good.

I chose this over similar products on Amazon as this has the company branding on the unit and the unit model number is shown on the box. The others on Amazon whilst half the price seem to be ‘no name’ units sold by various different individual sellers. So you are basically buying a random electronic box from china which personally I would be worried about in regards to fire and damage to my connected equipment.

Great Solution.

Originally was going to purchase another similar product from Future Shop, but it only had Phono output, after talking to the there customer service I was recommended this product and I'm so glad I went with the advice.

Needed a small one box solution as my new Philips tv would not output any audio out over SPDIF and wanted to put the sound through my stereo via a Chord DAC which has SPDIF input.

The box is very well made looks very professional takes up no room and works via a spare HDMI Arc connection.

No lip-sync issues and the sound quality is very good.

This is the first time I have dealt with Future Shop, and there customer service is fantastic they really know all the details of there products, very friendly staff and not pushy for a sale, fast despatch. Highly recommended.
