Hi, I want to connect my Apple TV to the Slingbox but they don't share the same type of inputs/outputs

Apple TV output: S/PDIF optical (tos-link)
Sling Input: S/PDIF RCA (orange colored input)

Can someone recommend a converter? I found this but I have no idea if it's any good (does larger price equal better sound?

And no, with digital audio more epensive usually only means you're getting more features such as AES/EBU, USB, and reclocking abilities, sound quality will not suffer.
