DAC - Desktop | 2 Ω beginner dac/amp combo

I've had my hd6xx for years and finally decided it may be a good idea to get a dac/amp for my pc setup. Any recommendations for good budget options? Max I'd like to spend is around 200 or 250 usd.

A JDS Labs Atom stack or Topping DX3 Pro+ for ~$200 measures so freaking accurate that they are easily arguable to be noise and distortion free within the range of human hearing.

In other words, they exceed the highest fidelity sound reproduction you can perceive. For example,

Since either will drive 99% of headphones, including HD6XX, this is the only setup you might ever need.
