so moving to a speakerless system after moving to a smaller place.

I have a portable mixer (with 1/4” L+R/RCA L+R), which I currently connect 3.5mm audio out from my Mac, and instrument signal to mix onboard into my headphones.

Wanting better audio quality I bought a headphone amp DAC combo (HADAC) *Grace M9XX

So, am I right for this signal chain:

Mac USB out> M9xx (which output?) > mixer (which input) > headphones out.

Would the amplifier in the mixer affect the HADAC sound quality negatively?
