Hello.
Recently, the question of buying a DAC / Headphone Amplifier has arisen. I'm not satisfied with the sound at work, but I don't want to buy a separate sound card. Well, at the same time, I wanted the sound from my laptop to be better.
The built-in battery is of no interest at all, it will only be used under the power of a computer / laptop.
Headphones - Creative Aurvana Live! Soon I want to buy a higher class.
I listen mostly to punk rock. Very often with bagpipes /
Budget 5000 ± 1000 rubles.
What I found:
1) Fiio E10
2) iBasso D-Zero
These are quite famous brands, maybe there is something else? Not so popular, but the quality is not worse?
Well, I hope to help in choosing.

I advise you to buy a sound card. She immediately with an amplifier for headphones and other "nishtyaks". I have professional-grade akg headphones and until I bought a sound card the sound was quiet, and the headphones did not reveal their clear sound. The map helped. I make music, and when monitoring through headphones, very large sound card resources are required. And I just don’t see the point in buying more “royal” headphones with an amplifier. I advise sound cards on mmag.ru.
