As always, gain stagging is a balancing act.
If the OP wants to enhance the audio quality of his setup, his best bet would be to change the DJM 800 with a mixer that has internal audio interface (to bypass CDJ850's as audio interfaces and their lack of digital output) and a better DAC (DJM800 is known to screw up the highs - a friend described the sound as "metallic", it's his go-to techno mixer haha).
