Thanks for that. I was running into the same issue with nobody local having much of anything for it and was looking at that same converter. Wasn't familiar with the name of the company, but glad to hear it seems to be a quality unit.

This is absolutely amazing. You've given me quite a few ideas with this kind of setup. Thanks!
