Newbe Question, Krell 400xi - PS Audio Dac Hook-up

Hi,
I have a beginner question. I am going to purchase a Krell 400xi amp and a PS Audio Dac III. What is the best way to hook this up? The krell amp has balanced inputs but does not have coax.

Thanks for your help,
Matt

The transport is more important than you think!!
