Looking for headphone amp/DAC


I am using Sony MDR-7506 headphones with my Apple iMac. I don't want to spend more than $150. I spend a lot of hours at my computer listening to music. I mostly listen to Hi Rez Qobuz. I am thinking of the the Zen Dac. Any thoughts about this

Between the Dragonfly Cobalt and the Dragonfly Red, I thought the two definitely had a family resemblance in their sound. The Cobalt MIGHT have been a litter clearer, but not too different from the Red especially after adding a Jitterbug. I actually decided to get a Red over a Cobalt as it sounds more punchy which I think works well as I'm often listening on the go in different locations.

The real step up from a Dragonfly that I've heard is a Chord Mojo that provides greater 3 dimensionality and presence. You can get a used Dragonfly Red on eBay for about $140 to $150 shipped.
