Hi, I am planning on buying the Schiit Magni + Modi combo and need some help with the set-up. I am new to this kind of stuff so I'm not really sure how it works.
I am planning on using them with with my Sennheiser HD595. I also have a pair of ATH-m50.
Primary use for them would be for listening to music on my PC, and also gaming on my PS3/PS4/xbox360
So basically, I want a set-up that works for PC as well as for gaming consoles. I know that there are two models for the Modi (USB and optical). Are there really any difference between the two? Can I use both USB and optical with my PC and gaming consoles with the correct cables? Which one would be better?
Speaking of cables: If I understood correctly, I plug the Magni and Modi together using a 2 RCA/2R CA cable. Now I wanna plug my DAC in my PC or console. For the USB model I would use a usb A-B cable to plug into my computer. Would this work as well with my gaming consoles? Also, I'm not entirely sure what kind of cable I would need if I had the optical Modi model and wanted to plug it into my PC. Again, would the same set-up work with my gaming consoles?
Thanks!
