i've got a source, and speakers, and headphones, now what?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
so i have my entire music collection in apple lossless on my computer. i have a pair of usher s-520s, a pair of westones for working out, and grado hf2s.

now what? i have about 400 dollars to spend on connecting those things, and im wondering if my best bang for the buck would be a 200 dollar amp, and a 200 dollar headphone amp/dac w a line out to connect the two. but then i keep thinking i will want to get an airport express or second stay at home torrenting computer, and it would be a pain in the arse to always plug my headphone dac/amp into the back of my speaker amp. does that make sense?

so for 400 dollars should i get:
an ibasso and an integrated amp

or

something like this
Hifidiy Mini USB Class T-amp Audio amplifier 2X30 Watt
with an ibasso and just have two separate DACs

or some other option? basically i do everything all the time from my computers headphone out and i want to improve that. right now i had a NAD amp.

If you like brighter more analytical sound:
