I have some DT880's and may be getting a T50rp soon as well as getting some cheap speakers that do not need a whole lot of power to drive. Any suggestions on an amp that can do both jobs for under £50~ if that's not asking too much. 
 
Ideas atm
 
Topping TP30
Scythe 1100 or later
Second hand nad amps
 
Sorry about being a cheap student.

I've found that quite often older hi fi amps actually have a pretty reasonable headphone circuit. My old Rotel RA-611 (1970's) actually has a pretty crisp headphone output, for example. Hunt around for something second hand obviously. Try places like www.preloved.co.uk and Cash Converters.

My issue with buying old second hand amps is that I do not know enough to recognise a good deal or even one that has had it. I know potentially you could find an amp thats amazing value for money, but I am not so confident I could.

Found a NAD 3225PE on ebay, was wondering if that would be adequate to drive headphones as well as speakers. What would a second hand reasonable-ish condition be worth? £50~?
 
Also looking at a Scythe Karma Kro amp, though I am not too sure how well it drives headphones. £45~
 
I think its a really interesting question tbh. I mean if something can do both jobs for say under £70 ($100~) then it may well save people alot of money. I searched the threads on this forum and people are reccommending $300+ amps to do both but if you have that sort of money to dispose of, I don't understand why you would not just buy two individual amps for your headphones and your speakers.
