Hey, I was wondering what would be better:

Buy a more expensive 100 euro headphone/headset or
buy a 90 euro DAC/AMP combo and a 30 euro headphone

I also have a speaker setup that I am using at the moment because I have no headphone at the moment.
 
Solution
In my opinion because you have the speaker setup already, the DAC is the best option. But it also depends on the speakers you have, so they can take advantage of the DAC. Also I am not an expert on DAC, so for 90 euro I don't know what decent DAC you could buy. I heard the AudioEngine D1 is a good one, but it's a bit out of your price range and it doesn't include amp I think.

I have a simple Tom-tec speaker setup: 2 speakers and one extra speaker for bass and such.
Its this one but then with only 2 of those speakers, not 5: CLICK ME FOR PICTURE

for 90 euro i tought this would be a good DAC/AMP combo: FiiO E10K Olympus 2
