Astralogic Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hi, I'm planning on getting the modi3/magni3 stack, could someone tell me what cables will be required please. I will be using headphones (DT990 Pros) but no speakers. I just want to make sure I buy everything necessary all at once. Thanks Link to comment
0 skikirkwood Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 You need RCA cables to connect the modi and Magni - I have both in a headphone-only setup as well and bought the $20 Schiit pyst 6" cables - they are a perfect match for your setup. And of course you will need a USB cable to connect your streamer source to your Modi. Astralogic 1 Link to comment
0 Astralogic Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Is that an optical input on the back of the Modi? The one with the O beneath it. What's that for? Link to comment

Yes, the Modi has an optical input for Toslink connection to a CD transport, TV, DVD player, Chromecast Audio, etc. Connection to a computer or streamer needs an USB A to USB Micro cable, but Schiit supplies the cable for free with the Modi.
