What is the least expensive way to convert a digital audio signal to analog?

Question

Some more detail: I just purchased a Samsung HDTV and the only audio output it has is optical (Toslink) digital.  I have a powered set of analog studio monitors I'd like to run the audio through.  What is my least expensive option for converting the HDTV's digital output (bearing in mind it may be putting out Dolby 5.1) to an analog signal suitable for my monitors?

I've been looking at this item:

But I'd love to know if there's a better option.

The converter box your looking at is one of the best on the market there are others that are cheaper but they do pretty much the same thing Gefen has a good reputation so they charge a little more here's a link to a no name brand thats cheaper but who knows what the quality is like...and it does pretty much the same thing
