it's $86 overpriced

Actually, it's more than $86 overpriced as the monoprice product that you were directed to -- Product ID 5557, which does even more -- also has analog stereo outputs. That 3.5mm jack in the back provides an analog stereo output from what you feed it via HDMI. Just get a 3.5mm-to-stereo RCA cable and you're set.

Did you change your mind on using the DAC in your system? I ask because neither option, the Gefen nor the monoprice, will provide a 2.0 digital PCM signal for a stereo DAC from a Dolby Digital signal. They will, however, (obviously) provide an analog stereo signal.

Below is a link to the 3.5mm-to-stereo RCA cable 3ft version, but they have lengths from 6" to 50' of that type of cable.
