Just for the record, I also came across the Shure AuxPander, which
seems also to be discontinued. It doesn't have headphone amps. It's
just a matrix mixer.

The Mackie HMX-56 is a later day version of the Oz. I've never known
anyone to own one so maybe they never sold any, but it's still in their
catalog. I'll bet if you can find a dealer who has one in stock you can
get a great deal on it. A quick Google search showed none in stock at
the more popular dealers, and a couple have declared this product
"discontinued" as well. But it seems that the going price was $150 and
that's hard to beat for the functionality if you can find one.

I use the Mackie HMX-56 and it works great. It has a stereo (L/R)
input and
4 mono inputs. You can use the effects return as an additional stereo
input.
With the 6 channels, that gives you 6 separate headphone mixes.
I recommend using balanced lines to the TRS inputs to avoid ground
loop buzz.
Hopefully this unit is still available.
