You need a USB cable that runs from the pc to the Modi 2 and then you need a RCA cable like this  one to connect the modi 2 to the magni 2.

just a usb cable, it is a digital signal so just get a usb cable that will work with it.

Just something like a basic type a to type b like this one https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-2-0-Cable--Male/dp/B00NH11KIK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1467235219&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+a+to+b

This is the best USB cable for audio: https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Hi-Speed-Ferrite-U023-003/dp/B008VOPCGY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1467236268&sr=8-2&keywords=tripp+lite+3ft+usb+cable

 

Dual-shielded, ferrite chokes at both ends, gold-plated endpoints, meets USB 2.0 spec, lifetime warranty. Accept no substitutes.

 

Also, always choose the shortest possible cable for a given application.

 

You will also need a stereo RCA interconnect cable to connect the Magni and Modi together: https://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-1-5ft-Premium-22AWG-Cable/dp/B003L1717K

Okay is nice with the lifetime warranty, but I have not seen any problems with using just a amazon basic cable and I don't see why there should be a problem, since it is shielded, but then again 1.5$ more and you get lifetime warranty, that is pretty nice.

Too late with the cable, I already linked it

Ferrite chokes, bruh. Blocks dat EMI which you may not have, and thus may not hear a difference with your pleb Amazon cable.

 

Are you an audiophile or aren't you.

Well I don't use a amazon basic cable, my friend does.. It has shielding and I have not heard him complain about it.

What kind of audiophile are we talking? The insane one with the 500$ cables or the smart one that knows how physics works..

I'll take good looks over brains any day. Fortunately, I have both.
