Schiit Modi3/Magni3, Topping Dac, Topping Amp, Objective2 + Odac & The Element (Bstock still good, just cheaper)
HD6XX i found overall its more the music type than the hardware source that makes them sound bad. They & the other headphones all work with everything above no issues.

That sounds like a nice DAC. Since I have been really happy with the Topping TP-22 amp, I was actually looking at eventually getting the Topping D30 DAC (~$120) which I have read good reviews about. It doesn't have any analog input features though.

I have been looking up a few products that might solve my lack of inputs, and it seems hard to find a budget preamp with at least 3 inputs (or maybe I don't know where to look).

With just looking through Amazon, I did find a few inexpensive input switchers, and some of them have passive volume potentiometer nob.

The most basic products I saw were things like this $19 (after shipping) switch box, or this $25 larger switch box. Some of the reviews of this larger box make me question quality of that switch knob, but the general consensus seems that it's fine unless you're really trying hard to find flaws. The smaller 3-source box doesn't really have many reviews.

For about twice the price of that is this interesting $60 switch with a volume potentiometer. It took me a while to figure out why a passive device needs to be plugged in, but one of the reviewers explained very nicely that the powered circuit is for relay switches when changing sources and for powering LEDs. The audio path itself is completely passive.

For the same price of $60, there is a USA made similar product (Schiit Sys passive preamp) that looks fantastic and simple, but only has 2 inputs.

After finding that Schiit product, I began to look further into that company and was really impressed by this Schiit Saga preamp. It has more than enough inputs, but it doesn't really fit my budget right now at $350. Some reviews I read today suggest that it has a very transparent sound and the remote control volume control is a nice feature. Reviews noted that the tube feature (which apparently can be bypassed) doesn't really do anything hugely impressive to the sound, but at least no one complained about it (and it looks pretty cool).

And finally I found this Emotiva BasX PT-100 for $299, which is also more than I'm planning on spending right away, but the fact that it is a multi-input preamp along with a DAC, it would suit all my needs, plus more. This may be similar to what you have. One thing I noticed though with the Emotiva DAC is that the website says the USB input goes up to 24/96k, whereas several other DACs I was looking at (including the Topping D30) have USB input up to 24/192k. If you have any thoughts about this, I would be interested in hearing about it. The Emotiva does support that higher quality on the other digital inputs though. Overall the Emotiva may be the best feature-per-dollar item I have found so far.

I think if budget wasn't an issue I would continue to do some research to compare if the Emotive PT-100 alone would be just as good or better than pairing a Topping D30 DAC with the Schiit Saga preamp (which together would end up being at least $470+ depending on Schiit shipping). Right now though I'm going to try to keep the cost as low as possible and consider something $60 or less. (In other news... I ordered a Dayton Audio 12" powered subwoofer last week which should be here on Monday. I'm really excited about that.)

So let’s clarify some stuff. If your solid-state source is getting your audio loud enough without causing objective issues, such as hissing, distortion, or a noticeable noise floor, there is generally no need for an upgrade. If, however, these do occur, then you can benefit. The difference between an snr of 120 and 140 is objectively unnoticeable given certain listening volumes. You only need to upgrade if you need to upgrade. Now, we can definitely make sure you get a fantastic DAC/amp with no issues and great measurements, but the first thing you’re going to need to do is drop the idea of an internal sound card. It is best to have digital audio turned all the way up and control volume externally (because of a whole lot of bit depth mumbo jumbo).

If you want a great all-in-one, stretch your budget a tad and get the The Element.
If you want a cheaper stack, get an Atom
and either a Khadas Tone Board with a case or an
OL DAC or a
Topping D30. All measure objectively without audible flaw. That evga card is a gamer targeted overpriced gimmick.
