I listen to my Empeg while at work , but run the line-outs into the PC line in and plug the headphones into the PC.

Right, this is what I do, as well. It also allows you to balance the volume between your empeg and the other computer sounds using the mixer applet in Windows.

Also, I use a Y-splitter to send the sound card's output to both a pair of powered computer speakers and my headphones. So I can choose to have the speakers turned up, or I can pick up the headphones and turn the speakers down. I can switch back and forth as the situation requires. It works very well.

I do the same thing on my home computer, too, and doing it this way allows you to listen to MP3s while playing games if you wanted.
