Well, you already made a purchase, but for any others in a similar position... I’d point them to start with Chord Mojo. I know, not 100% ideal for desktop setup, but $-for-$, man what a great sound. And will let you know if a used 2qute or new qutest are a sound you’d like down the line. AND a great option if you want to dip your toes into headphones/IEMs for traveling.
But in the end, take all advice here as a far distant 2nd to your own ears and preferences. No shortcuts to happiness beyond figuring out what that means for you, within a certain budget envelope.
