Cayin C6 is a portable DAC cum amp. Usually the DAC part is stronger for portable DAC cum amp and DAP.
Cayin C5 is definitely much stronger at the amp part as compare to C6.

As a portable unit, C5 does a good job in driving big cans at this price range. The sound is quite healthy and enjoyable.
The performance could be better if using desktop amp.
I suggest you to keep your Cayin C5 and pair it with a DAC. Any other amps that with lower performance may not give you the pleasant sound as DT880 is really not easy to drive well.
