2. You've come to the wrong site asking for this kind of advice. SD is for cheapskates who aren't willing to pay a fortune for quality.
3. If you want my recommendation, just look at the Peachtree Audio brand of amp/DAC units. Very clean, minimalist design, and more than sufficient to handle your headphones. An example would be the Peachtree Audio nova65SE, but there are newer models. You don't have to buy separate amp/DAC, but there are so many options well above and below this price range.
I'm not trying to sh*t on this thread, but it's an $80 amp that can't possibly perform as well as an $800 integrated amp.
But again, back to point #1, if you are planning to buy $1k+ headphones, don't pair them with sub-$100 equipment.

There are a ton of good ChiFi DAC's out there that will give you good clear sound. The most important thing with a DAC these days is what inputs you need. If you are using a computer as your source then i would recommend the JDS Labs Atom DAC+. I used to have the JDS ODAC and loved it but found the USB board to have intermittent issues with being detected and some popping noise when sources were switching on/off. Swapping to my Atom DAC+ has relieved all of my previous issues and it comes with a higher sample rate, win-win! Topping and SMSL also make great dacs ( i use a topping E30 for my TV). Also, kabeldirekt make great budget RCA cables that measure up there with the best of them.
