Do you have mad soldering skillz? I managed to re-terminate several stock hd650 cables 4 pin , 3 pin XLR balanced, (+ 1/4 + 1/8 inch) SE in an afternoon, pre Can Jam on my first attempt, thanks to DIY info on the web here and there. And they still work!

To echo/restate what beefy said.
You headphone amp will take line level inputs. So you will want to connect line level outputs from your Denon to the line level inputs of your headphone amp.
Sometimes you can have variable line level outs (where the volume control on the Denon controls the volume on the outputs). you probably don't want that.
You want fixed level outputs (volume control on Denon has no effect on volume of output always full output) - as that's what the volume control on the headphone amp is for
Then the final part is muting the speaker output when using headphones, without muting the headphone output - the correct fixed level output should get you what you want.
I trust you still have the manual, so you know what all of these
do
I'd start with the red and white ones labeld "OUT"
Rio Karma and Sennheiser pcx 250's. Bummer. You'll get over it .
Think of it as an opportunity to upgrade
It would seem that we are not alone, though.

Short answer: You lucky, lucky bastard.
Longer answer: Make your old man happy. (He is probably proud of you already I'd guess).
The Net Audio 405 Mk3 Upgrade looks pretty good value for the price. (may be you could acquire another donor 405 and go down the dual monobloc route ) probably cheaper than a new 909 ..
If he wants some Quad ESL's he's unlikely to be unhappy with either the 57 or the 63. Depends what you can source I'd guess. Other folks have suggested that if you don't like one you could swap / sell on the other without too much of a financial hit if you buy wisely.
The main win though is having a clean slate/blank canvas for the room. Given 10 ft ceilings, and a sizeable room you should be able to come close to ideal speaker and listening position placement.
Have fun, and let us know how you get on.
