I went with JBL Studio 530 since I already had a pair and they're on sale again for $240. JBL doesn't even charge tax in my neck of the woods.
For an amp I also went cheap with the Aiyama A07. Noise is acceptable - I can hear it right in front of the tweeter but not a meter away. I was going to get a Topping PA5 if this didn't work.
For DACs I tried my Topping D30 and my Apple USB-C dongle and there's no real difference. Therefore, I will put the Topping back downstairs and just use the dongle most likely. I think with a better amp the dongle would be the limiting factor though.
