Are there any Dolby Digital/DTS headphone amps available?

Thread Starter 
I am looking for a DD/DTS headphone amp and from what I have found the choices are very limited. The only one I have seen is the JVC SU-DH1. The JVC is not really what I am looking for (batteries would not work). Are there any other choices out there?

I'm not sure exactly how these various decoding processes take place, but I think you're looking for some sort of DAC.
An amplifier can't implement dolby digital/dts.

The JVC SU-DH1 I had had a input jack for a wall adaptor, but that defeated the purpose of a portable product. I returned it because it hissed with IEMs, the surround effect was not comparable to a 5.1 speaker setup by far, and it really sucked for music.

I'm not sure but I don't think DTS has anything to do with an amp. You probably need a DAC or receiver that can do DTS and then connect it to an amp.
