I will be purchasing a music fidelity v-dac, ray samuals p-51 mustang, grado 325is, and denon 2000s. I am just a tad confused on how all the cables will go. I currently own an asus xonar stx sound card as well. So what is the best route for cable and how do I do it?

STX has these ports.
Line In Yes
SPDIF Out High-bandwidth Coaxial/TOS-Link combo port supports 192KHz/24bit
MIC In Yes
Other Ports Aux-In (4-pin header on the card)
Front-Panel Header: Shared by Headphone out / 2 channels out / Microphone in
S/PDIF Header: Connects to compatiable graphic cards for HDMI output


So do I go Xonar stx - coaxial - v-dac - rca - p-51 - headphones.
I am just so confused, so all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Looks like you have it right. Just be sure that you turn off any software processing that the STX card may have so you can pass an untouched or "bit perfect" digital stream to your V-DAC.

What software audio player are you planning on using and what OS are you running on your Computer ?
