Hi,
I newly got a Microlab Solo 7c stereo speaker. As for the DAC, i got an FX-Audio DAC X6 on the way.
Currently I have an Astro A50 (Gen1) with its MixAmp connected to an Asus Xonar U3 via TosLink. The configuration here using 6-channel for surround sound:
This is the MixAmp:
Now for choosing a source for the new DAC that will feed the stereo speakers: what should it be?

- TosLink from the onboard sound? (Realtek ALC1150 codec)
- TosLink from the optical output port on the MixAmp? (mind it is a 6-channel signal from the Xonar U3)
- USB form my PC? (I believe there will be noise)
- or something else i missed
