What is a decent DAC/AMP upgrade path from the SoundBlaster E3?

My use case for this DAC/AMP will be primarily music (mixed vibes from deep house to techno to rock, pop, 80's synth etc.). My headies include a DT770 Pro 250 ohm and 990 Pro 250 ohm (and as of today, an X2).

Step 1: Spend of R4-6k
Step 2: Spend of R6-8k
Step 3: spend of R8-12k

I upgrade my gadgets in small increments as it keeps my marriage chugging along happily. I find it helps if I share my "gadget roadmap" with my wife as it eases the shock factor down the line.
