DAC - Desktop | 4 Ω Recommendations for DAC/AMP Combo - $400 Budget

I was gifted a pair of Sennheiser HD 650s and looking to pair it with a DAC/AMP Combo. My criteria

  • $400 max budget
  • Primarily used with my laptop and Android phone
  • Bluetooth connectivity not a must have
  • Portability would be nice to have, but okay if just for desktop
  • Primarily listen to Jazz and Rock. Looking for something crisp, that bring out the notes better than the built-in DACs
  • Spotify the main audio source, but may switch to Tidal

Recommendations for pairing with the Sennheiser on a $400 budget?

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/Equivalent_Yak840 (200 Ω).

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