Hi there
Headphone jacks are typically stereo, and have 3 connections (left, right and a common ground). Digital audio needs only 2 connections, i.e. a mono(phonic) plug. 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 on the other end, since the audio cable is rarely rated for 75 ohm characteristic impedance.
Regards
