calling all headphone gurus

I need to add "privacy" to my hifi experience in order to not disturb others around me.

I understand I can accomplish this in at least a few ways I already know about (CD player and/or amp with built-in phone jack). But, none of my current pieces have this capability. So, what do I need to do? Can an outboard headphone amp be "added" to my integrated amp and /or pre/amp combo, or do I need to sell my current amplification gear and swap out for an amp that has a phones jack? The CD player I use is not subject to change which is why I isolate the amps as the items subject to sale.

When answering, please let me know about the "how" to acccomplish this as well as the products that may be good.

I use Fi pre/amps, Exposure integrated and Ayre CD. Thanx, folks.

I have not personally tried this unit, but it looks interesting. Maybe someone else here has tried it and could offer an opinion on the Antique Sound Lab UHC Signature:

The only disadvantage I see is the extra circuitry involved, however I am happy with my ASL headphone amplifier. Some have mentioned occasional quality control issues, but this is as simple and inexpensive as it gets.

Good luck!
