This info helps. An external DAC will help you get you a functional audio output, given that your USB ports work, but you wont get your speakers back that way.

What ever you want mate. 1 $1 AliExpress USB soundcard will get you audio out (and in), a Schiit stack will get you more or less excellent audio for your $400 headphones. Really depends on what you need.

These are wireless and have their own built in dac. All you need is a functioning Bluetooth transmitter on your laptop.

Yes. BT audio is digital. The dac is always on the receiver side of the BT connection.
