Only one I have been able to find so far is this one

Even ones more expensive, although I would like it to be around £60 or less, maybe that's my issue though there are loads of speaker amps or headphone amps at that price just not ones with the option for both
No audiophile, these are my speakers https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BN8X7CND?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

And I have a pair of AKG 702 headphones which I know will perform better if they are driven, as it stands now I have them plugged into my onboard audio though can't quite get enough out of it so am also using EQ APO to add gain to them

Came across a couple of these interesting little DIY boards as well, using the Texas Instruments TPA3116 chip

So, why wont a simple amplifier work? You can get a good older Amp locally? Hook it up to to the computer with SPDIF and connect you headphones to the from output jack?

Like from a hi-fi system? mainly due to size constraints of where it will be situated The amp sits on top of the speaker and that's about all the size I have to work with
