Confused about adapter for RCA to BNC

OK, I’m sure this will "engender" jokes but I still need some help. I have a digital Coax cable with BNC connectors on both ends. I’m buying a DAC that only has an RCA Coax input, so I need an adapter to, in effect, convert one end of the BNC cable into an RCA. What is this sort of adapter called, exactly?  "Female BNC to Male RCA" ? 

... and, can anyone recommend a brand/model, send me a link???

@stuartk    What are the makes/models of the CD Transport and DAC?

@stuartk   It usually is always better to follow the KISS principal.  (Keep it simple...)

Adapters, while they work, sooner or later can cause problems. The extra connections on the signal path, potentially cheap construction, and potential impedance mismatches with adapters...

So, +1 to carlsbad2 and audphile1, get either a good coax/spidif cable (RCA's) or and AES/EBU.

my 2 cents...
