Digital output is through the headphone jack via a mini-toslink.

You then use a regular toslink optical cable.
 
lol and then it is hit and miss whether it will work, and if it does, for how long?

i would stick with best buy :cool:

Its just a piece of plastic and likely identical to what BB sells. Monoprice sells the same thing for $0.89 and I would trust them with my left kidney when it comes to cables and adapters. Best Buy charges $8 because its there, in the store. Otherwise its the same thing.

Probably not great for constant plugging/unplugging or travel, but OP don't need that.

fair point - i think it is the apple snob inside me that expects things so cheap must have a higher propensity to fail!
