Need help building an amplifier-headphone adapter


Hello

I have an integrated amplifier (12W) that does not have a headphone output and I want to find a way to listen via headphones.

The easy solution would be to find a device like the ASL UHC. But I have not managed to find one for sale in Europe.

Now I want to try to build one myself :) Could be a nice project and will add a nice feature to my amplifier.

Does anyone here have experience building such a device as the ASL UHC? Are there any kits or schematics available?

Thanks for any advice.

My amp is a Shindo Apetite.

How would I find out if this has an output transformer and what its impedance would be?
Thank you for the most detailed answer and explaining the different options and the notes of caution. I really appreciate the time you took for this. I am going to find a high impedance headphone and then buy some resistors.

It probably would have been easy to just buy a integrated amplifier with a headphone output, but I am very happy with the amp I already have now and just need a nice night time listening solution.

Happy listening to you all.
