I'm sure it's fine....
I suppose it depends on how good your ears and your listening
standards are. I've been using a 1/8" mini-jack to RCA into my
receiver for years now and I think it sounds fine. It sounds good
enough that I've never been motivated to look for any better solution.
The cables were pretty cheap, so it's probably worth giving that
method a try. If it sounds good to you, then you don't have to look
any further.
The big problem with a tiny mini jack is just that if it gets hit by
anything it will break and be a mess. Also vibrations can cause it to
be noisy. But in a matter of a few years it should work great.
I have the same thing and I remote it out front and plug in good
earphones and a mike. My hearing is poor and no room for a pair of big
speakers. So I listen to my music from the sound card on my motherboard
and the sound is GREAT!
