Blue Jeans Cables can make a 1/8" to RCA digital cable, I use one with my X-Fi card.

Check out the 1505F.

Not sure what you mean by "mini digital out"? If it's an 1/8" mono jack, you can use a simple adapter like this, and then a standard coax cable.

BJC claims their 1/8" jack is 75" ohms, which is important for a digital cables.

If he uses a 75ohm coax cable after the adapter, it's the same thing. When I said standard coax, I guess I should have specified "digital coax" cable.
