Hi all,
Many of you have given me great speaker advice (thank you) and I am finally upgrading the audio/mic for my gaming PC / work machine. After doing much reading/research, I am about to hit buy on the items but wanted to make sure what I listed below is the proper way to connect everything.

Many of you have given me great speaker advice (thank you) and I am finally upgrading the audio/mic for my gaming PC / work machine. After doing much reading/research, I am about to hit buy on the items but wanted to make sure what I listed below is the proper way to connect everything.
- Motu M4 audio interface - mic input and DAC
- JDS Labs El Amp II+ headphone amp
- Denon D9200 headphones (family and friends discount and couldn't pass up)
- Kali IN-8 active speakers
- Earthworks Icon Pro XLR microphone
- JDS El Amp II balanced inputs to Motu M4 balanced line outputs (inputs 3 and 4)
- Denon headphones to JDS El Amp II headphone input
- Kali IN-8 speakers to Motu M4 balanced monitor outputs (inputs 1 and 2)
- Earthworks Icon Pro to Motu M4 mic input 1
- Are the headphones always on or do I have to always select them in Windows and/or the Motu interface software?
- What is the easiest way to switch to the speakers when I am not using headphones? Is there a button the interface to hit or is it also selected/switched via software?
- Can I leave the mic on at all times?
- Is the headphone amp of the Motu M4 powerful enough to drive the Denon headphones? The Denon's are 24 ohm and with 105db sensitivity.
