you can essentially avoid a mixer if you're in the habit of turning on your monitors last once everything else is up and running and initialised. my speakers are set at a specific volume with a controller between them and my interface. the controller has a hardware mute button which can protect them from bursts and interface initialisation and sample rate settings changes, etc
even then you can still get burts and random sounds so it's good to have hardware control for immediate adjustment if necessary - that mute button has come in might handy at times. when you start up the computer, you're relying on the settings to be remembered at what you had them on the DUET
anyways,just a suggestion which i'm sure many would agree with
