In my mix room, I use a Behringer headphone amp. It allows each of eight outputs to play either of two inputs unless that section is overriden by an "Aux" input. I have two (stereo) sets of speakers and four (stereo) sets of headphones, and can play either of my two (stereo) computers through each. Then I have a stereo pair that drives surface transducers that I can stick on my guitar for "silent" amp feedback and there's still a channel that gets its "Aux" input from the rear-panel output of the main pair channel and feeds the L/R subs...

The DAC won't do anything when I'm using my hardware synths independent of my soundcard which is what I am doing. I was just looking for a go between from my input selector and my monitors.
