Hey everyone!
This question has perhaps been asked, but the topic is quite lenghty and I, unfortunately, don't have enough time to go through it all now.
I'm purchasing these days Senns HD800, an AMP and perhaps a DAC (most likely Lehmanns Black Cube and M1DAC). If I get DAC and connect optically, does it make sense to get STX or should any card with optical out do? If former, please give (brief, if you don't have time) explanation why. I have been told that by going with optical out, I'm completely bypassing the sound card and it's capabilities.
EDIT: The Black Cube I'm getting is the USB one, so, I guess that sound card doesn't matter...
