Dac for under 100$

[RedMatterCrafter]

(I am german, so sorry for my bad english)

Hi, i want a dac for my M50x's.

I don't want to spend more than 100€, which is around 110$, but less is better.

My motherboard already supports 24Bit 192kHz soundquality. But i don't know exactly what that means

Do you guys know some good dac's, that i can get in germany, under 100€/110$?

I think it'd be better if you clarify whether you want a USB DAC or a PCIE one or even a PCI one.

I have an itx motherboard, so only 1 PCIE for my GPU. It has to be an external one.

I am using a creative sound blaster HD. It sounds clear and not overturned, and its price tag is within your budget.

first what you are looking for is a DAC and amp combo, not just a DAC, secondly, anything under that is not worth it, thirdly you are getting one for M50x's which isn't really worth getting anything for unless you have problems with your onboard.

Well the front headphonejack of my pc broke a week ago and now i am constantly switching the jack at the back between my headphones and my speakers. I thougt getting an dac/amp could give me the extra port that i need and improve my soundquality.

save up the extra cash for the fulla 2, it has pre-out for your speakers and is much better than a e10K

def. the fulla 2. But the FiiO comes about 50$ cheaper and is fine for your headphones (which are not super great by any means to be honest :-))
