I recently got the Sennheiser RS220 to go with my ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card. They each have several connecting options and I was wondering which I should use. I mainly use the headphones for blu-ray movies and Dishonline/Netflix programming.
The Sennheiser RS220 has the following inputs:
Analog RCA (L and R)
Digital optical
Digital coaxial

The ASUS Xonar Essence STX has the following outputs:
Analog RCA (L and R)
Analog 6.3mm headphone port with 3.5mm adapter
Digital optical/coaxial combo port

Right now I'm using the Analog RCA (L and R) input on the Sennheiser with the Analog 6.3mm headphone output on the sound card since ASUS says the headphone port is amplified. It sounds pretty good but I was wondering if a digital connection might be better, especially with blu-ray movies.
The ASUS Audio Center software has a gazillion options so if anyone has experience with this combination any help would be appreciated.
