Am I supposed to connect the DAC to the AMP with an RCA cable. I'm still kinda confused when it comes to cabling...

jk i'm dumb <3

I ordered the Matrix M Stage and the Fiio D3. Can anyone tell me what cables I'll need to purchase to hook these up to my headphones/pc?

Quote: Yes, I have tried that.   I've put a lot of thought into this, and the issue is definitely the amount of clamping force. I have POTS/Dysautonomia which is likely the cause of my head pressure. sensitivity. I think the only reason my HD 515s didn't hurt my head when I first...

Quote: Ok, that's good to know. What about the DT 880, AKG K702, or ATH-AD900? Which would you'll recommend for the best buy? I picked the HD 598s because they're well rounded for games, movies, and music.
