Good dac/amp combo

I'm looking for a good DAC/amp combo set, preferably all in one unit. It needs a separate input for headphones, mic and output to speakers would be good(not required). However, it would be amazing if it could have an extra dial for mixing sound and voice chat together if you get what I mean. In addition to this, it needs to be powerful enough to drive 250-ohm headphones.

If you want to buy an AIO I bet it's not going to be as good as stand alone units. 

 

Do you really need something to mix the sound and voice together , also a mic input?  

 

What headphones do you have? Sensitivity w/ the impedance of a headphone will tell you how much power is required to hit X SPL

I'm willing to bet that this mixamp is garbage, however this is my opinion.

I would try the FX-Audio X6.

It costs around 60$ and seems to be pretty good for the money.

 

For the mic, just use a cheap USB-soundcard, the sound much better than most integrated ones:
