HDMI/DVI-D to DVI-A? or should I use VGA?

I have the following:

Computer with NVidia Gforce GT 240. It has HDMI, DVI, and VGA out.

LCD monitor with DVI input and VGA input

Color Correcting monitor which only supports DVI-A or VGA. Not hooked up currently.

Currently I have the LCD monitor hooked up with a HDMI>DVI-D cable. It's working fine.

I tried hooking up the Color correcting monitor with a Regular DVI cable to my video card, but then found out I need specifically a DVI-A cable for the monitor. No idea if the video card can output DVI-A, but I don't think it does.

So anyways, is there any DVI-D to DVI-A converter? or a HDMI to DVI-A adapter? or am I stuck with VGA here?

Is DVI-A any better than VGA?

What would you guys do to get both monitors hooked up with the best quality and preferably for cheap?
