Default Which jack to plug the cans into

Ok, let me start by saying that this question regards the Soundblaster Extigy. I know none of you like it, but I think it's great for what it is supposed to do. Now anyway, it has a line out, optical out, and a digital out.

Obviously I'm currently using the line out, but is there any advantage to try to use any of the others for cans?

If so, is there a way to do it? (a cable available?)

Thanks

The optical and digital out would be used for an outboard DAC.........they won't work for headphones alone.
