HDMI ARC/eARC Audio Converter

The Mediasonic DA25 converts HDMI ARC or eARC digital signals from a television into stereo analog outputs. It provides simultaneous RCA left/right and 3.5 mm jack connections for powered speakers, soundbars or headphones. The unit operates with PCM and LPCM 2.0 channel audio up to 192 kHz and 24 bit depth. No drivers are required and a built-in power switch with LED indicator shows the active status.

For stereo analog setups only

This converter suits users who need to connect legacy analog audio equipment to a modern TV ARC or eARC port. It handles two-channel PCM audio without configuration. Buyers who require Dolby Digital, DTS or any multi-channel surround format should look elsewhere because the device does not decode those bitstreams. It also lacks CEC pass-through and volume control, so remote integration is not possible.

Two-channel PCM up to 192 kHz

The DA25 comfortably handles stereo PCM and LPCM streams at sample rates up to 192 kHz with 24-bit resolution, delivering clear analog output for music and dialogue. It runs out of headroom with any compressed surround format such as Dolby or DTS, producing no audio from those sources. The converter is limited to analog stereo output and cannot pass multi-channel digital signals to an AV receiver.

Questions about this item

Does my TV need an HDMI ARC or eARC port to use this converter?

Yes, the DA25 only accepts an HDMI ARC or eARC input from the TV, so the television must provide one of those ports for the extractor to receive a signal.

Will this unit pass through the HDMI video signal to my older AV receiver that lacks ARC?

No, the DA25 extracts audio only and does not forward the HDMI video stream to another display or receiver.

How can I confirm the DA25 is converting audio correctly once connected?

The front LED indicator lights when the unit is powered and receiving a valid PCM 2.0 signal, and you should hear stereo sound from both the 3.5 mm jack and RCA outputs simultaneously.
