    Hi there.
    I have a very small problem. Trying to learn to play some keyboard and using my old laptop with Rocksmith+ using my beloved Sony MDR 7506 headphones. The output was really bad, so I bought a very cheap DAC from AliExpress. The Aiyima A2, and what a difference it made. Now the small issue. I have connected some active speakers, and they work really good as well, but of course I have to rip out the headphone jack every time I want to switch to the speakers. Is there a better or maybe just another DAC where I can change output from headphone to speakers without unplugging the headphones? Not sure the cheap Aiyima A2 can keep up running with me plugging/unplugging the headphones.

    Why not just make up a short extension for your headphone cable, and unplug the headphones from that. That way, any wear will be on the extension socket, easy enough to replace if it wears out.
