Hi.  I'm setting up my new Audioengine P4s with an N22 amp.  A turntable and laptop are my two audio sources.  I have a DAC from the laptop and the turntable both running into a headphone amp.  My question is how to integrate the speakers and n22 amp into the system without degrading sound...

I'm very new to this, such that I'm not even sure if headphone amps can or should power passive speakers.  If I have the P4s, can I run the M-stage into them?  I know Audioengine makes an amp that is meant to be used with P4s, but since I already have the M-Stage, I thought I would try this if...
