Hey guys, So I just received my Schiit stack (Modi 2 Uber and Magni 2 uber). I'm pretty sure I forgot to purchase an additional cable. I did buy the PSYT RCA cable to connect the Amp to the Dac. But I didn't buy a cable to connect the stack to my PC. Which cable do I need to purchase to actually connect the Schiit Stack to my PC?
All you need is a USB cable to go from the PC to the Modi DAC. One end will be normal usb and the other will be the type that fits into the DAC (USB 2.0 type B)

I have Monoprice USB and TOSLINK cables as well. If you want to try the TOSLINK input of your Modi 2 Uber and don't have a source with TOSLINK output, I'd recommend the $30 Behringer UCA202 audio interface. One benefit of TOSLINK is that it electrically isolates your DAC, which can be useful if your computer sends noise into electronics.
before worrying about the nuances of spdif vs usb one should make sure you are using your computer only for music. And that you have mitigated all of the typical pc noise sources.
Nothing in the specs say it can be used as a USB transport but you should make another thread as someone with your dap might be better able to tell you if it is possible.
