I have an old pair of Fisher STA-381 stereo speakers with an
integrated stereo amplifier. They have been connected to a Sony
television with standard RCA audio cables. The TV has left/right
Output jacks and matches the speaker's amplifier left/right Input
jacks.
I just recently purchased a new Magnavox TV that only has SPDIF
digital output which is supposed to connect to a matching DIGITAL INN
jack on the rear of a Hi-Fi system. Of course, the speakers don't have
a Digital Inn jack.
Is there a way, converter cable or other means by which the TV can be
connected to the speakers?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Yes, a digital-analog converter (DAC) is what you need. It's not a big
product category these days. They come built-in with home theater
receivers.
I stumbled on a forum discussing this and they said this was
the cheapest available solution.....
and you get headphones that you may not want.

Probably get a used HT receiver at your nearest pawn shop for less.
