I searched high and low for something simple to convert optical to RCA, and found this some time ago. I use it with my PVR box but it could potentially be used in a car application. Been using it for a year, and it works for me.

looks nice! do you happen to have any larger photos? perhaps of your setup?

Sorry, I don't have any pix, as it's hidden deep beneath a tangle of cables behind my plasma/entertainment system. It's about as big as a typical paperback book.

It's one of those no-brand, made-in-china-gadgets-that-everybody-wants-but-nobody-can-find things.

The green LED on the front glows when it's powered (and is powered by a wallwart AC adapter). I only use it for the audio (from PVR to DVD recorder), but it has S-video <--> composite converters on it also. I bought one of their TOSLINK splitters from them also to split off audio to my receiver, and that works great and needs no external power source.

P.S. I'm not affiliated with topmicrousa, just a happy customer.

No that will amplify the noise in the signal as well.

You might want to try Creative's DDTS-100 Decoder.. It will take an optical input and it will output to a wide number of channels, ranging from 2 to 7.1 channels. Having done various things with Creative's products on my car, my guess is that it requires 12V to function properly, so it will be easy to install on any car.
