Go to solution Solved by NannerBeans,

My onboard audio has a ton of static. What's the cheapest USB amp/soundcard? Preferably able to drive 50 ohms or more in case I get high impedance headphones in the future. All my PCI slots are full so that's why I need a USB one.

Syba dac/amp. That xonar one still has static. I had it, then RMAed it and it still had static. Complete junk.

Er, that looks looks like it has horrible quality. Not to mention it actually ships from China.

You did say "cheapest USB soundcard".

I can't say if this is the cheapest, but how about the Behringer UCA202 Audio Interface?
