Need help with dac/amp/sound card purchase!!!

[Lemongrab]

Hello, I am looking for either a sound card or an external dac/amp for my pc. I currently have RHA T20i Black as my IEMs and as my headset I have a Razer Kraken 7.1 V2. I want either a sound card or an external dac/amp to make them sound the best they possibly can, because I am a budget audiophile. I would like to have knobs for bass and gain and stuff, or an eq software for a soundcard, but I dont know which will be better, or what kind. I am looking to spend less than $100. Thank you for helping me! P.S. the Razer Kraken 7.1 V2 is a usb headset, so I need to also find an adapter or a dac/amp/sound card that has a usb audio thing. THANK YOU!!!

I beg to differ.

 

Number one, a soundcard will be useless with a USB headset. Number two, that particular headset is garbage, so even if a DAC, amp, or soundcard would work with it, it would be wasted.

let me ask you one question. How did you even plan to adapt USB jack?

you would need a ADC, because that crapset has USB which means it needs a digital signal, that it then somewhere in the crapset makes into a analog signal... So you would make a signal from digital to analog to digital to analog...

Use the money on a pair of good headphones, it will be a much better use.
