Studio Connectivity - help please, nice diagram included

I am in great need of suggestions to help connect my studio equipment in way that will reduce latency as much as possible and (hopefully) allow for direct hardware monitoring.

I am considering an apogee mini-dac in the near future if it will solve any potential connectivity problems that I might have now.

Basically, I want to be able to hear what I am recording in real-time through the monitors/phones, and listen to mixes with minimal latency. I'm wondering if both of these things can be accomplished with/without the mini-dac.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance.

I am pretty sure you can do this without the mini-dac. The profire lightbridge has 2 onboard D/A for the headphone output on the front of it. I would think that from that output you can monitor in real-time anything that is passing in or out of the unit, but this is just my presumption.

If you have a line out, all you need is a headphone amp (and maybe a mixer).

The latency with a Core2Duo over firewire is not an issue unil you have to sync a bunch of takes (and your software should handle this automatically).
