So i have this topping D10 DAC and ATH-WS1100

well at the time i thought that buying this little bear p2 would be a "cool" choice
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1blj9K3IIlS4GZ4NsnuK-w1MLZu3snuua/view?usp=sharing
but then i realized this was a horrible mistake... the sound through the little bear crops when my D10 is at max volume from windows.... it settles at 60% (windows volume) and then when i turn up the volume from the little bear there is a lot of white noise so ... i am not happy at all !
Apart from that i cant hear the "difference of tubes".... and after a bit of searching i found that this tube amp is only for looks
[also the tubes picked a lot of interference from my multi socket
(that had 12 devices and my computer connected to it, so i had it plugged by it self to my wall)
and my phone]
Is it worth it to upgrade the little bear with the muses02f amp chip to reduce the white noise or buy some better tubes can you recommend any ?
any way now i am searching for an amp
i am thinking for something like the SMSL Audio Sap-II or FiiO K5
and my second choice is to sell the D10 and buy the topping DX3Pro
now while i don't have a proper amp i have connected my headphones directly to the d10 with this cable and they sound superb to my ears ...
do i really need an amp? since the d10 has an OP amp inside

can you please advise me on the amp choice (max 150 euro)
and inform me of the DAC to headphones thing ?
thank you for reading all this <3
