I wanted to be able to route audio out of an HDMI splitter where i've got Xbox Series S, PS5, PC, FireTV (and god knows what else) into my Logitech 5.1 sound system via SPDIF so that I could benefit from DTS and Dolby Digital encoding. Taking the HDMI from the HDMI splitter into this unit and then SPDIF into the amplifier I was able to confirm digital decoding worked with 5.1 output (and MUCH improved sound!) from the consoles, other inputs worked though they dont have 5.1 output in the first place and just worked as expected normally.
No discernable difference in picture quality, no lag at all (the output from it is going into my main every day PC monitor, so that I can swap it amongst all those devices) so if it was an issue you can be sure i'd be noticing it.
It's one of those bits of hardware that just sits there doing its job and you barely remember it's there - which is spot on, really good unit and i'm glad I got it, it solved the problem I had perfectly.
