You're going to get a bunch of "amp/DAC don't matter!!!!" replies here. I'd suggest going to an actual headphone forum like head-fi or SBAF and using the search feature there.

Furthermore, you really need to post a budget. Are you looking to spend $200 or $20,000?

Yes , exactly. I wonder how people come up with that nonsense.... I have owned 15 pairs of headphones, and they certainly come alive from Decent amplification and DACs, owned a few of different values. Yet on here you will find someone buying a 2 k headphone and trying to get the most out of it from a £200 amp... Normally asking if the cheap product will be enough to power the expensive one. Then you get these clowns that say there is plenty of volume 😂 it's night and day a good dac/ amp over a cheap one. Everything opens up, bass quality and separation greatly improves. You could almost be listening to a different headphone in some cases Example I had a beyerdynamic t-90, didn't sound good on meridian explorer, Cambridge dac magic, sounded ok off fostex hpa8, but stunning from icon audio hp8 valve amp through the fostex dac. Synergy is everything.
