Budget DAC suggestions

Are there any good DACs for (preferably) less than £100?

I've been stuck using monitor audio after the port for the on-board audio on my pc broke and while it's passable there is a "crackling" noise in the highs sometimes.

If it's helpful for you to know what headphones it'd be used with I'm currently running some hd 558s from sennheiser.

You have just lost the game!

seems like you want a combo and not just a DAC

So schiit fulla 2 or Micca Origin+

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.
