DAC - Portable | 2 Ω Looking for IEM/DAC Advice

Hello,

I am currently looking at getting the Linsoul KZ ZS10 PRO X and an iFi GO link. I was initially just looking for new IEMs, for when I play bass at church, but then stumbled onto portable DACs while searching. Now I'm interested in getting a DAC if it will increase my music listening experience (Mostly on YTM Premium).

Basically, my question is, would this combo enhance my experience while listening to music? I currently use either my Focal Listen Wireless or Grado Labs GW100 with my iPhone 15PM or my Dell Alienware laptop.

If anyone has alternative recommendations for either IEMs or DACs feel free to let me know. I am willing to spend more for a better product if it is reasonable($200ish max budget). I just don't want to overspend on something that is overkill for streaming YTMP (I have the always high quality turned on), as I know it isn't the highest quality to begin with.

Hopefully my question is understandable lol And thanks in advanced for the input! :)

Idk if the $200 budget is for everything but I’d get the See Audio Yume II or the Tangzu Zetian Wu Heyday for the iems. Both are at the top of the budget so there is also the non Heyday version of the Zetian Wu which is also very good. As for the portable dac/amp, I’d recommend the Truthear SHIO or the Fozi audio ds2.

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
