I recently purchased a Fiio E9k and while I love it, from what I now understand it doesn't disable the line out when headphones are plugged into the front. This wouldn't be a problem, except I can't easily turn off my speakers and subwoofer because the subwoofer is hidden under my desk. What ends up happening is that my speakers and sub keep playing when I plug my headphones in. Here's my setup:
-> Line out ->2 RCA Splitters-> M-Audio Av-40 and Polk PSW10
Titanium HD RCA Out-> Fiio E9k:
-> Headphone out -> Sennheiser HD 650
Is there an easy way to disable to Line Out with some sort of in line RCA switch? I was also considering putting the sub and the speakers on their own power strip and turning them off together easily, but that still creates the problem of having to fumble around under my desk.
I can also still return the Fiio E9k if anyone has any suggestions for a better amp that can do what I want it too. I'm willing to spend a bit more, but ideally <$200.
