help on amp and dac

[Ankei]

Hello! I am new to the audio scene. My inquiry is currently, i am using hyper x cloud 2 headset. it was working fine with the pc until the usb sound card malfunctioned and both my motherboard and case dont seem to have a mic and headset combined plug in. I am planning to buy an amp dac since i am upgrading my headset soon. The question is, for an amp dac like fiiko E10k or omni sound blaster, they only have 1 aux input. When i plug in my headset, will i be able to use the headset and the microphone? Thank you for reading and any advice that you can give me!

@Ankei I have Dilvpoetry DAC X6 HIFI USB, got it from aliexpress for 30 Eur and I'm supper happy about it, but be caferul, you will need to sue splitter cable for mic otherwise your mic will die, happened to my headset, but sound quality upgrade was crazy

it will sound slightly better I just wouldn't reccomend that unit as it ahs QC issues..  I would just say save your money and get a splitter ilike this nstead and use your motherboard
