So, my heaphone amp does a bypass when it's off that redirects the signal to the amp. This is pretty much ideal - I think I just need a longer audio cable from the the headphone amp to the main system amp, but I got bogged down in the idea that somehow running a longer digital to the DAC and figuring something else for the audio routing would be more 'optimal'.
Partly because I'm considering an amp upgrade which would include a DAC, so not entirely moot I guess.
I think my diagram is over simplified
At the moment it goes like this, but I'm planning to move the amp and speakers a further ~1.5m away:
PC > DAC > Heaphone Amp > 'bypass' > Amp > speakers
