I have recently decided to upgrade the audio setup on my desktop PC. I decided on a set of powered Micca PB42X bookshelf speakers along with 12" Monoprice Subwoofer. I have been eyeing the SMSL SD793-II DAC/AMP combo and have been contemplating on how I would go about hooking it up. Prior to the SMSL addition I planned on running analog out on the motherboard to line in on the Monoprice subwoofer, and then line out from the subwoofer to line in on the Micca's. I would set the levels on each speaker and then use windows volume for control. The issue I think I am going to have is if I add this DAC/AMP to power some headphones and use the line out to my speakers, when I plug in my headphones sound will continue to come out of the speakers. I do not believe when a headphone jack is plugged into the SMSL unit it mutes the line out.
Can anyone offer some advice to alleviate this scenario? I have not purchased a DAC at this point.
