I have a question about how I am setting up my headphone amp and DAC to my computer.

I have the following hardware hooked up in the following way:

Sennheiser HD600 headphones----->
Schiit Asgard 2 ------RCA cables ----> Modi 2 DAC--------USB cable-----> motherboard USB port

Is this the correct configuration? Am I missing anything?

You got it right.
Depending on the computer you may need a driver for the DAC. Check the Schiit website or the instructions.
I would also suggest you leave the DAC and Amp on 24/7. There may also be a break in period that you can speed up by leaving a file running and the HD600 plugged into the Asgard2.
If you don't have any high resolution audio files you can find links to get some free samples here
