I just picked up a pair of new M60's. I also just ordered a HK 3480 stereo amp online. I'm just playing cds through a cd player and an old receiver my dad had lying around until I get my HK 3480. I want to be able to play music from my computer through my HK 3480. This FiiO D3 DAC seems like it would be good enough for my needs, http://www.amazon.com/FiiO-Digital-Analog-Audio-Converter/dp/B005PWPUW6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top. The only thing is I can't figure out what kind of cable I would need to hook it up to my computer. A usb A to B? Like this, http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-Hi-Speed-USB-2-0-Cable/dp/B001MXLD4G/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1376446477&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+a+b+cable? Or something else? The optical in jack looks like a different shape than the end of the usb A to B cable. I would really appreciate any help or advice! Thanks!

Also, does anyone have a link for a double male to male RCA cable? I can't seem to find one.
