Under-designers, you mean. With an IC you don't have to do any design -
just set two resistors to give you the gain you want.


And that is exactly how I would do this - it's by far the best way.


If it were me I'd probably buy one of the cheap kits I used for

I don't know if the board is laid out for gain, but your headphone amp
shows a unity-gain circuit only. I can't imagine they failed to make
provision for gain, though.
