Searching For Something

Hello Folks!

 

Since I'm pretty far away from my PC, I would like to have some kind of "soundcard", that I can put on my desk.

Without losing quality, would be great. Does something like this exist?

 

Budget 100$, maybe more if needed.

EDIT: I live in Switzerland, best sites here are: conrad, digitec, or steg.

 

Thanks! :)

if it is called like that, then yeah. ^^

pretty much looks, and sounds like what I need. 

What headphones do you use? Is it $100 US, AU, or CA?

Look up the Fiio e10. It seems like thats what you're looking for. It's around 50 USD, not quite sure how much prices differ over there.

Is this what you're saying? https://www.digitec.ch/ProdukteDetails2.aspx?Reiter=Bilder&Artikel=251753

that's it.

Yep, its a DAC/Amp that you plug into a usb port. So like you said, basically a sound card that sits on your desk. According to a lot of people it improves audio quality compared to most soundcards and onboard audio, I've never used one so I can't really comment on sound quality.
