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?
Well you need a Toslink out. There's usually a port on the motherboard (look for one that glows red) or sometimes it's available via mini-Toslink. If you have neither, some motherboards support a S/PDIF Out header for which you'll need an expansion bracket. Some motherboards don't even support that--in which case you'll need either a USB-to-S/PDIF converter or a sound card. Also double-check for a lone orange RCA port--which is for S/PDIF coax.
Temporarily, keep using what you've got. Looks like it's hooked up correctly. When you get that Toslink cable, plug it into the port right below the top USB ports.
BTW: TX750? Not a bad choice. I've got one in my main. And watercooling? Baaaaad: you should put together an all-internal loop. Having external radiators is so 2006!
