    I may have just answered my own question - maybe a raspberry Pi and a bluetooth keyboard would do the trick?

    As long as you don't use the rpi's analog audio output.

    It's nasty. Not a proper DAC, but some PWM (10 or 12 bit, I believe), with terrible SNR.

    My tinnitus is so bad, I could plug in a Fisher Price turntable and find it enjoyable. :)

    I've seen some USB audio devices, maybe a cheap one would suffice?

    I'm sad to hear that (pun intended) but keep in mind hearing does only get worse with age.

    I suggest getting good headphones (Sennheiser HD600 is my pick) while you still have some ears to enjoy them with.

    For a line-out, pretty much any will work as long as they support usb audio class (i.e. standard, doesn't require vendor-specific drivers).

    For a headphone-out, it's more complicated as amplification (not just gain, but ability to provide current to the headphones) is needed, and generic usb sound adapters are _nasty_ at that.

    Schiit Fulla or HEL is generic advice in the US.
