Yamaha Amp or Receiver that will fit my headphones (DT 880 600OHM)

Hi I am searching for a Yamaha Receiver or Amp that will fit my requirements. I am going to listen to music on my JBL LX44G speakers as well as on my Beyerdynamic Dt 880 (600 Ohm) headphones. The Amp/Receiver can be vintage as well I don't care. I am looking for a decent headphone sound that will be very clear and neutral. The receiver shouldn't be that pricey or high end. I also maybe will try to connect it to my PC to play games and use my headphones.
Do you have any recommendations for me.

First priority should be listening on headphones
Second priority should be listening to my speakers


Thank you in advance

I have two Yamahas that I think do very well with my higher impedance and higher sensitivity headphones. Mainly, the Sony MDR V6, AKG K701, and AKG K240 DF. The receivers are the RX-V385, which is their bottom of the line AVR, and the Yamaha R-S201, their bottom of the line receiver, now replaced by the R-S202 (same receiver, just adding Bluetooth). For years I’ve head an old Headroom Micro Amp that I use a sort of a benchmark for headphone amp performance. I also used to have a Musical Paradise MP301 MkIII. That amp was great with high impedance headphones, but difficult with affordable speakers. I did not have the budget to start chasing after higher sensitivity speakers, so I sold the MP301.
