This is exactly what I do now: I use a headphone amp connected to
outputs 1 and 2 of my Delta 66. The headphone amp has pass-through
line outputs so I also connect my hifi for when I want to use
speakers.
I like this a lot more than trying to use a small mixer for both mic
inputs and monitoring, since I'm incapable of remembering to mute the
mixer channels I'm using for monitoring while recording!
The on-board Delta mixer, when used with envy24control, works out pretty well.
