For $200 for amp+dac you are looking at a portable amp/dac, entry level used tube/ss or DIY.

For portables you could wait on a D2 but the next batch of them is not out yet. There are other options, headphonia has some Headstage Lyric Pros on ebay going for >$200.

You could build a CKKIII + Alien DAC for a little over $200 if you want to DIY using Glass Jar Audio kits - both of these look easy to do.

I personally think just getting a portable amp/dac combo is your best bet for staying around $200 though.
