I bought my TS to RCA adapters from Guitar Center.

TRS on the 0404 USB is balanced output, TS is single-ended output. It's stated in the user manual. No matter TRS or TS, you will need one pair of cables to get stereo output.

TS to RCA cables can be ordered from Blue Jeans Cable.

IMO the built in headphones amp has similar SQ to a $200~ portable amp. Not stellar, but get the job done.
