You would need a device with a digital audio coax output. Some CD players
will have them, but they tend to be the better ones rather than entry
level. Also, most DVD players will have one.

Make sure it is not an optical digital out, as that will not work. It has
the same type of connector (phono) as the other standard hifi connector.
