Need Input on Setup

I currently have the HRT Music Streamer hooked up to a USB:

it feeds into a Creek - OBH-11 Headphone Amplifier:

works Great.  sound is really nice through headphones.

 

When I want to listen thru speakers, I currently plug some small creative speakers into the headphone jack.

 

I recently purchased a Tweak City Gizmo Amplifier:

and some nice desktop speakers.

 

With my current gear, is is possible to set up my system so that i can use headphones thru the headphone amp and speakers through the Gizmo amp?  

 

The Gizmo amp only has RCA In.The headphone amp has RCAs In and Out, so can I set up from USB > Streamer > Headphone Amp > Amplifier?

 
Does the headphone on/off switch just kill the sound to the headphone jack and sound is still passed through to the amplifier? 

 

Or Is there something like a Switch Box so it would go USB>HRT Streamer > Switchbox with the headphone amp and the other amp connected to the Switchbox?  If so, what would be a decent switchbox to add to this setup?

Thanx...quimbo

the outputs from the creek seem to be just a Y'd signal and should still pass signal even when the headphone amp is off, the easiest way to find out is plug some rca cables from the outs of the creek to the ins of gizmo amp and see if it works when the creek is off.
