Connecting stereo system.

I am trying to connect a new Mac desktop to a stereo system. (Old school audio receiver and nice stereo speakers.) My old Mac had a micro jack out I could use to connect to a sound system, but my new Mac has no such output, onlyThunderbolt. Suggestions?

Windows, Windows 6

Hi,

What new Mac desktop model do you have...?

Most if not all Mac's still have a 3.5mm headphone output port.
