Dac Suggestions

Hey, just got some HD 598 cs headphones but when I plug them into my motherboard I get alot of interference. Was wondering if anyone knew of an inexpensive but quality dac that will get rid of the interference.

Budget?

definitely under 100. would be nice if it was lower than 50 since the 598s dont really need much to drive. But I don't know much about this.

I have an Audioengine D3 which is essentially thumbstick sized.  Love it, it's a great starter DAC you can take with you.  It's $100 retail but AE sells refurbs for cheaper.

 

There are other cheaper DAC AMP combos, but I don't have experience with them to speak to them.

Schiit Fulla 2 to get rid of interference. That's enough for 90% of people.
