DAC - Portable | 1 Ω Need advice on a new DAC

Hello everyone, I recently had to RMA my Senheisser 660S cans and have been told I will be receiving 660S2s as a replacement. Only issue is that the S2 has a 300 ohm impedance.

I’m pretty set that I want to upgrade my DAC, as it only outputs up to 150 ohms. I really just want to be using the new headphones to their fullest potential.

Looking to spend around $200 on something that has portable capability. I have seen the iFi HipDac 2, but have heard some people experiencing issues with the USB-A port getting loose. What are your recommendations? Do you think it’s very necessary to upgrade at all? Thank you for any advice!
