Hi,
I know there are many such threads but since I received help on here previously on which headphones to buy so I though of making a thread to get specific answers on which USB DAC to purchase as well.
Essentially I am looking into purchasing a cheap USB DAC that would be an upgrade to my current Laptop sound card while still getting the best for my use/price. The USB DAC would be mostly used for my KRK 8400 (if that helps) headphones used for video-editing while occasionally using them for music and games. I am looking for something under $50 (though can spend a bit more for anything that may be worth the extra cash), does not really need to be portable.
The current one's I am looking into purchasing are:
Behringer UCA-202 (~$30)
Fiio E6 (~$30)
HIFIMEDIY SABRE USB DAC (~$30 - $42 depending on version - anyone know the different versions?)
Anything else or anyone recommend any from the list above? I am completely new to the audio world so still learning . Thanks for any help in advance!
