Hi there

Headphone jacks are typically stereo, and have 3 connections (left, right and a common ground). A digital audio output needs only 2 connections, i.e. a mono(phonic) jack. You'll probably need more info before you buy anything.

The link is to a stereo 3.5mm adapter. Avoid using cables that are 3.5mm plug on one end and RCA plug(s) on the other end, since the cable is rarely rated for 75 ohm characteristic impedance.
