I saw that your mic is USB, thats good, so no seperate Input for your mic. Ehm, there are several, you can check some from SMSL on your range with an internal DAC. I have the SMSL AD18, love it, the Sound is so crisp and no interference regarding the PC and also I don't need to configure anything. Just plug and Play.

 

This is a bit over your Price, but there are cheaper Options that have the DAC/AMP too!

 

If you go for something, just watch some Review on YouTube, I always do that :D

Hey,

I was searching for a soundcard and found some (on a budget) it‘s either the Creative Soundblaster Z(pcie) for 72€, the Creative Soundblaster X-Fi HD(external card) for 71€ (down from 84€) or the Asus Xonar DX for 63€. Does anyone have a suggestion? I am using the Sony WH 1000xm2 via cable at the pc and an antlion mod mic v5.

No soundcard, get an external DAC/AMP.

All 3/6? You can usually retask them. You could also just get an audio header to dual 3.5mm jacks and run it out the back (or just plug into the front of your computer). All of which would be a lot cheaper than a sound card.
