Can I use a split?

There is no risk of damage.  Whether or not sound quality is compromised depends on the output impedance of the DAC, the input impedances of the headphone amplifier and the power amplifier, and possibly also on the lengths and capacitances per unit length of the cables that are involved (especially if either or both of the cables is/are particularly long).  The likelihood of a problem is greatest if the DAC has a tube-based output stage and the two amps are solid state.

A splitter I have used with fine results is this one, made by AudioQuest:

In some rare case (Vincent Audio?) amplifier short its input to ground while power off, an A/B switcher will solve that problem. 

Tell us the model of the dac and it's "output impedance"
And the "input impedance" of the amp (model), and headphone amp (model).
And we’ll work it output.
