For me, separate DAC/amp sounds better. I've been using an iFi Micro iDSD DAC/amp for portability and ease of use, and it sounds quite good. But there are plenty of more expensive DAC/headphone amps that likely sound far better. If/when I listen more via headphones, I'll likely go down that rabbit hole.
Yes I think I may be at that point now . My listening is now at least 50% with headphones .
