Just got my hifiman801 and am looking to use it as an external dac. I have a female coaxial to male mini (hifiman only takes in mini s/pdif) so I need something to go out from my STX's optical and output a coaxial with a male connector on the end

Uhm... the Xonar Essence STX has coax S/PDIF, not optical.

It actually has both. The coax port is a combo coax/optical connection.

Duh... How the hell did I forget that!
