It works as you expect. I imagine would be five stars for most people, but I had a heck of a time trying to get USB-A plug near the optical port of my sound bar. Unfortunately because of my placement of the sound bar, I don't have a USB plug nearby, so I had to route a really long extension cord cord. If there were other ways to power the active analog to digital converter, like a longer cable or USB A to C adapter or have the converter closer to the 3.5mm aux side so I can plug it into my computer, then it would save me a lot of hassle. While I am using this as my solution for now, I will keep looking for something that fits my situation.

So I lost the optical audio adapter for my older samsung TV while moving, so I decided to give the Tackston 3.5mm to SPDIF Audio Converter a try. First, this cable doesn't work with the optical port on my Samsung TV. I thought it might be comparable to the optical audio adapter. It's intended to be connected to the aux port to optical. But I had to try it. I connected it to the TV's aux port and optical to the soundbar, and it worked great. I thought the aux-to-optical connection might provide better sound, but I couldn't really hear the difference compared to the aux-to-aux connection. Since this cable requires power, I decided to use the aux-to-aux connection instead for simplicity. Considering the price, it might be sufficient to use the aux-to-aux connection to save a few bucks if you have this option available. However, the cable is well-made, easy to set up, and works as advertised.
