Elektron-Users

My OT has that annoying headphone output problem. Though they have tried, Eletkron has not been able to fix the problem in a permanent sense. As such I am looking for a work around that will allow me to still use headphone to work. I would prefer something smallish.

Right now I send both my Minitaur and A4 into inputs on the OT and listen via the headphone outs. With the annoying headphone problem, if it is not fixed, I need to listen Main outs of the OT. Do I go with a small audio/computer interface? a mixer? I am looking at 10, 8 and 6 input mixers from Soundcraft and Allen Heath. Mixers are larger than what I would like to use, honestly, but they add a lot of function and are complete computer independent (very important). Do I go with something like these?

They are smaller, but not nearly as functional in the broad sense. Open to suggestions and thoughts.
