What is the best Headphone rid upgrade

I have Focal Utopia headphones,Chord Hugot TT2, Chord Mscaler, and a Manley Absolute headphone amplifier but listen with a IPad via a Frey 2 USB B to C cable. What would be my best upgrade for musically and soundstage - such as it is with headphones - to replace my iPad. I listen to Qobuz and mostly Jazz.

What about the N100C or N100SC. That’s probably more in line with budget since I have to by a decent USB cable. Thinking about the nordostTyr 2 USB 2.0 to connect to my Mscaler. It’s about 1399.00 before discount. Is there another cable you know of that would work better? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for advice. I was heading in that direction but wanted to get advice from someone who has that in their system before I made that investment. What cables do you recommend to hook up to my Mscaler?

I didn’t know I could listen to Qobuz with the Hugo or the Manley? How do I do that?. I only started listening with a headphone rig in May so I am still new to this. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. I read about the Aurender streamers but wasn’t sure it that was the way to go.
