These adapters take the "normal" optical audio cables (the ones that shine a red light through when connected) and gives an connector to fit a hybrid digital/optical socket - as is found on the Mac Mini, Macbook, Airport Express, etc. (sorry PC folks, but I'm sure you get the idea; check the technical specifications of your device if you're unsure)
Once connected, the Mac detects that you're using a digital connection - and the sound preferences output (or input, if that's what you're using it for) changes from "Internal Speakers" to "Digital Out".
My Mac mini is now happily hooked up to a decent amplifier, and I have an Airport Express connected to another amplifier in a different room that streams music from iTunes. How much difference is noticeable between a standard analogue left/right connection and this for my current usage is debatable - but it proves it works, and gives added future proofing if I wish to have surround sound for DVDs via the computer, or something.
A bargain for the price, and delivered extremely quickly (via a Marketplace seller). Make sure you know what you're buying, and you'll be fine - and remember, don't mark down a product because you've bought the wrong thing!

Mac Mini 3.5mm output -> adapter -> optical cable -> optical input on the home cinema centre. Works great.
People who have bought this to plug into a normal 3.5mm headphone jack probably don't realise that the 3.5mm socket needs to have optical as well otherwise it won't work; it's not a converter, it's an adapter.

Simple, cheap way to get digital sound out of your mac mini htpc
Pop it on the end of your TOS Link cable and into your mac mini digital out (3.5mm) port and bingo, Plex recognises your amp as digital and off you go. Couldn't be easier.
