$200ish budget, Cheap DAC + Good Amp or Good Amp+DAC Combo?

Thread Starter 

I own a pair of HD600 and here is my setup,

Laptop > Creative Sound Blaster 5.1 USB DAC(use the line out as a DAC)>Bravo Audio V1 Tube amp EH6922.

 

I have a $200 budget, not sure what to do, keep my DAC and get a decent amp? TubeMagic A1/Little Dot MKIII/... I prefer tube sound over solid state.

or

Get a good dac+amp combo such as XS DAC-01A or NFB12 or ...(then might use it as a DAC only then upgrade to an proper amp like Little Dot MKIII)

 

any advice?

Get the Maveric D1 as a DAC, then pick up the Little Dot III for $150 on the BST section here on HeadFi. 

 

I was going to do that haha.
