Thanks for all the info, I only asked to see if there was anything better that could give me headphone out and remote, but having thought about it and seen that the Slagle has 2 outputs it would seem the best option for my needs would be too add a headphone amp to the spare output on the Slagle and forego the remote.

The EWA Q20-P would no doubt be ideal but I don't buy new nowadays and would rather look for value in used items, not that I think that the Q20 is poor value, it's very good, I've not heard it at home yet.

I'll have a hunt around for a headphone amp to try out and see if that's the way to go.
