That looks like a transformer instead of a resistor or diode.
However, the eBay page does not specifically say it's a transformer.
The other products offered are all transformers, so it's a fair bet
that this is also one. The ad claims it works to 100watts so the 10
watt drain of the DI-624 should be easily handled. If it feels like
it's made of iron or buzzes slightly, it's probably a transformer and
should work just fine. The main test is does anything get hot or
warm. If it's cold the way you describe, then it should work forever.

I wonder why they say it won't work with an x-box?
