DAC/AMP for toggleable dual output? (alien.top)

I'm looking for an DAC and/or AMP which can physically toggle between output1, and output2.
Currently, I have a SoundBlaster G6, which 1 output goes to my HD 560S, and another goes to a Pebble v3. Both 3.5mm.
The G6 does allow me to toggle, but on software level, so I have to load the program in Windows to toggle between the 2.
Is there a device which can physically toggle between 2 outputs?

In addition to what's already been mentioned, I'd like to point out that amps like the JDS Atom and Schiit Magni and Asgard will turn on the RCA pre-amp outputs when you unplug the headphones.

SMSL SH-6 has a switch for the headphone output and preamp-out.

Atom Amp + can, but one output is RCA and the other 1/8" which means you will probably need an adapter from 1/8" to rca for the other end, or use a patch cord 1/8" to 1/8" .
