If you want to get serious and get external DAC+AMP right away, a lot of good options starting from $100 - Schiit Modi 3, Topping, JDS, etc etc. But these cannot serve as a passive DAC usually.Ĥ. There are also great options for portable options in between 50-150. I bought $10 USB external soundcard for this purpose because I already had dedicated DAC+AMP, but if I didn't have them, I would've bought Fulla or Hel.ģ. Not sure about Hel, but I would expect the same. Fulla is attractive in that it can serve as a passive DAC if you upgrade amplifier later. If you expect yourself that you might need a mic-in functionality, anything from $10 USB external soundcard to Schiit Fulla and Hel would be great. It never got really fully recovered even after this and that fixes), then even a simple $10 USB external soundcard would be a vast improvement.Ģ. if your laptop's soundcard is bad for whatever reason like mine (I once spilled coffee over it.
