How should I replace my Astro mixamp for my Sennheiser 6xx's? (lemm.ee)

I'm currently using an Astro mixamp (2011 version) for my headphones but it's starting to die, I don't really know much about dacs/amps or what my options are to replace it with something better?

I mostly use my setup for gaming, with some music listening or creation here and there, and I'd like to keep the price at or below 200$

For most intents and purposes, unless your going tubes, dacs/amps are all gonna sound the same.

A good place to start for sub 200 desktop dac/amps would be either a JDS Atom stack or a schiit magni modi stack.

If you like your stuff to be more portable (Bluetooth/USB) then something like quedelix 5k would be a good place as well.
