    Need amplifer that takes in digital optical and outputs Dolby Headphone 5.1, with 250-Ohm headphones.

    I want to be able to run a digital optical cablefrom my Motorola (Comcast) DVR (Dolby Digital 5.1) to some (headphone) amplifier, that will then output a Dolby Headphone 5.1 to my Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 250-Ohm headphones. Cheaper is OK.
