Yes, I will do that. Also, I just ordered very short, very high quality 3.5mm connector to use between Fiio M11 and the RNHP. You can understand why I thought that this amp, given all reviews and RN's fame -- much bigger and heavier than the whole Fiio player, dedicated, amp -- would beat whatever's inside the Fiio, especially for larger cans at 250 Ohms.
I mostly listen to loudspeakers in my "music room" -- this setup was for the "office." I now think I could just move the RME DAC between the two rooms. Perfect sound at no additional dollar cost -- at the cost of inconvenience.
Another thought: the RME is $1,100, so "only" $600 more expensive than RNHP, but it is DAC/AMP and truly great in both dimensions. One can therefore consider buying the second RME DAC instead of the RNHP. I found a review today (https://www.headphoneer.com/rme-adi-2-dac-review/) comparing the RME to Mytek Bridge. The reviewer prefers the Mytek but only just a little bit... But Mytek costs almost 3 times as much as the RME. I would never spend 3 grand for this functionality, given how great the RME is.
In any case, I'll give the RNHP a couple of days of a chance before my return window closes.
