I have a lovely set of Harman Kardon Soundsticks. Is there a conversion cable (or adapter box) that would allow me to send the audio from the ATV3 to the 3.5mm input on the Soundsticks. Essentially trying to go optical out -> to 3.5mm headphone jack in. Does that make sense, thanks!

And please not this is not the new Apple TV - this is the old one with an optical out :)

PS - if not I'll just pick up a used Airport Express.

What is your display? If it can output to your Soundsticks, then you don't need a conversion cable or an adapter box or any other kludge.
