Fosi Audio desktop chain

Hello everyone.
I am opening this thread to ask for some advice from you. I am currently building a desktop listening station, intended to be used exclusively while I am working at the computer. I am transitioning from a pair of Edifier R1280DB passive speakers connected to a very old iBasso DAC, which in turn is connected to the PC via USB, toward products from Fosi Audio.

I have just purchased their new ZH3 DAC/headphone amplifier and their GR70 tube headphone amplifier/preamplifier.

What is the best way to have this result:

Chain 1: PC (USB) → ZH3 → GR70 → headphones
Chain 2: PC (USB) → ZH3 → active speakers (or Amp → Passive speakers, in the future when I will retire the active speakers)

Is there a way to switch between 1st chain and 2nd chain without having to plug and unplug cables?
 
You should be able to do this by selecting in the operating system the audio output.
I have not tried with two USB devices at the same time, but have tried switching between USB device, onboard audio card and external audio interface via optical, without problems.
