Back again with my noob questions..I started a new job and quite frankly it sucks not being able to use they very amazing essence during the day. I was thinking of maybe reselling it and getting a usb capable dac and amp to take back and forth to work/home. At work I use a stationary laptop with only usb outputs. The problem is, I've read that the essence is comparable to dacs + amps costing much more than the card itself...is there no usb dac/amp combo that will match the SQ of the essence? I am willing to spend a little more than what the card costs if it is possible to retain the same quality with added portability. I am using HD650 hp's if that helps.

I tried searching this myself but didn't find anything with my exact predicament and I trust everyone's experience here, so if you have any recommendations I'd love to hear them.
