Hey,

I'm looking to buy a Schiit stack, particularly the Modi Uber/Magni Uber.  All of my USB slots on my computer are occupied, should I add a PCI-E thing to get more USB slots if USB is better?  I believe I have an optical out on my motherboard.  The picture of the motherboard is here, and the port is the second one from the left.
 
So, my question is, what are the exact cables I need?  An optical cable from my computer to the Modi?  Regular RCA cables from the Modi to the Magni then to the monitors?
 
And, if you could, tell me if I have the setup correct.  Computer > Modi 2 Uber > Magni 2 Uber > headphones and monitors (since it comes with a preamp?).
 
Thanks so much.

If you have SPDIF then use that with the Modi2 Uber.
