I'm in the same situation, looking for something to use with Deezer and my laptop, the Woo Fireflies WA7 also comes quite recommended from what I read.

Likely not even using a laptop.
Just a modified SONOS Connect, and a headphone amp/DAC and cans in my easy chair.
IF that sounds better than going from a laptop to the DAC via USB.
Well keep me posted on the results. My DT880 will thank you :)
Headphone/Amp/DAC matching is a black art. It would appear from the reviews that the OPPO HA-1 is designed with Planar Magnetic cans in mind. This is a HUGE plus as most DAC/Head Amp combos are weak on the head amp side. OTOH, decent headphone amps with build in DACs usually have bare-bones internal DACs. Even the Audeze Decard Amp/DAC is a USB only DAC.
While one reviewer claims a good match with the HD-650, he finds the amp way too clinical for the HD-800 even with balanced cables. He claims the HD-800 likes tubes.
Looking to own a set of Audeze LCD-3 one day, should my ship ever decide to come in. Till then I'm stuck with the Senn. HD-600 which has served me well for a decade.
