Digital audio to analog converter

Does anyone recommend a digital to analog audio converter to work with the new Apple TV? I'd like to run an audio cable from the ATV to my JBL dock, which has a standard mini stereo jack input. Ideally the converter would be cheap, small, and maintain reasonable sound quality. Thanks in advance for any advice!

15" MacBook Pro 2.93 GHz Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.4), iPad 3G, iPhone 4, 5G iPod, 2G Nano, 3G Shuffle

MonoPrice.com has a digital to analog converter for around $25 although it looks like it is on back order. I would give them a call anyways. Don't get fooled by their prices, they are fast and cheap but good and the place to buy all your audio and video cables. I wired up my sisters entire home theater for less than a quarter of what I payed for my first HDMI cable which I didn't pay much for either.

If you're still looking for a DAC for your Apple TV maybe checkout the Spitfire Mk II 24 Bit DAC from Firestone Audio. I just picked one up for a 25% discount. Uses a standard Toslink optical cable from your ATV. The Spitfire is quite small and the sound quality is excellent.
