New headphone advice

Hey all,

It is my first post here as I was referred here by a coworker.

I am looking for a new pair of headphones. I work as a developer and spend much of my time in front of a computer. I listen to music for much of the day and figured that upgrading my $40 headset would be a justifiable purchase. I prefer circumaural.

That being said, I would like a recommendation for a pair of headphones with a price cap of $200. That being said, if there is a pair for ~$250 that blow away the $200 pair I'd consider it. If not, I'd like to stay in the price range.

My friend recommended getting a DAC either instead or in conjunction with a new pair of headphones. What are your thoughts on this? Is there a DAC that you would recommend that works with pc's?

Thanks and I appreciate your guidance.
