That $30 DAC on Amazon actually fixed my audio lag issue

I was running a 15 foot HDMI from my laptop to my old Sony receiver and the audio was off by like half a second. Drove me crazy during action movies. My buddy said grab a cheap USB DAC and run optical instead. I figured it would just add more delay but I was desperate. Picked up one of those basic Sabrent ones for $30 on Prime. Hooked it up with a 6 foot optical cable and the lag is completely gone. Has anyone else fixed a sync problem with a simple DAC instead of buying a new AVR?

Wait which Sabrent model did you grab?

Think you might be mixing up the Rocket 4 Plus with the Q4, terryrobinson, the Q4 is the one with the heatsink already on it.
