Are the ins balanced (TRS 1/4)? You should be able to use XLR->TRS for 
the inputs (might need a pre-amp also, don't know if the 44 has 'em 
built in).

A headphone amp is a good idea -- and since the Delta cards have that 
zero-latency hardware monitoring, you should be set. On my setup, I use 
one pair of outs for the monitors and one pair for the headphone amp.
