Used Schiit stack or DAC/amp combo?

Post Body

ETA: I mainly stream music from Spotify Premium and play MP3 files at 320kbps quality.

My current dilemma is whether to go for the Schiit stack at US$235 (got a slight discount from the seller) or an iFi Audio Zen DAC v1 at US$118.

Hi all, I'm still very new to the hobby and need some advice on an amp to drive Sennheiser HD 650 and Hifiman Sundara headphones.

Is it worth it to pick up a secondhand Schiit stack (Magni & Modi) at RM1200 (~US$256)?

Or should I just get a DAC/amp combo, since I'm unlikely to upgrade either component?

If the latter, are there any recommended DAC/amp combos retailing below $250?
