They're not driving anything except your headphones. The 305's have their own built in class D amplification. The RCA outs on the DAC come in 2 sets. One goes to the headphone amp the other goes to the LSR305's. get yourself a dual RCA to dual mono TRS 6.3mm cable for cheap from the rainforest. Sorted.

You won't beat the 305's in their price range. Horn loaded tweeter too. Awesome speakers.

Before I pull the trigger, can I go dual RCA to dual XLR also ? I presume it makes no difference?

You would need to connect the Modi 2 Uber to the PC via USB or optical (SPDIF)
Then connect the Modi to the Magni 3 via RCA
Then connect the LSR 305 to the Magni 3 using RCA cables with RCA to XLR adapters at the speaker end or RCA to XLR adapter cables

Magni 3 & Modi 2 are all connected up, using them as I type. Just wondering when I'm connecting the LSRs to the Magni that I purchase the right cables.

Two of these... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Single-Pho...pID=41puFMaMTyL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Dual RCA to Dual XLR will probably have the cables joined all along the length, which you don't want as the speakers won't be next to each other.

Perfect mate thanks. I don't have the LSRs ordered yet as they aren't top priority, hopefully soon though.
