It's not only the headphone amplifier, if you have already a really good bluetooth headphone (like e. g. the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless) in my experience you have to invest more to hear a difference. I use the Lehmannaudio Linear (around 750€) with a Cambridge Audio M100 DAC (around 250€) and a Sennheiser HD600 Headphone (bought via eBay around 250€) to beat my Sennheiser Momentum 4. So it seems to me you should first try for yourself to hear a difference between Bluetooth with AAC (not with SBC, of course!) and/or AptX HD.What do you consider an investment? There are products available under $100 or $150 US (many for much less) that utilize better codecs than AAC and SBC. APTX and LDAC are not solely the province of high end audio.
