What am I missing... (alien.top)

I purchased the following: Schiit Modius Schiit Valhalla

My understanding is that they come with their respective power cables that plug directly into the wall... Is that right?

Otherwise what would I need to connect them together and to my phone if those cables don't come included?

Finally, would the Sennheiser 800S be cable to plug into it with the included cable?

Thanks, I'm new to all of this so I'm trying to learn and make sure I have all the required gear!

Plug the usb-c/optical/coaxial cable from the music source you're using into the modius. USB-C most likely if you're using your phone.

Plug an rca cable into the modius's rca output and plug the other end into the valhalla's rca input.

Plug the headphone jacks into the valhalla's front headphone output.

Done.

RCA cables

If you have an iPhone with lightning port you might need some kind of cable to get digital output
