I'm using a gaming laptop which is Asus ROG G751 JT DH72. It costs close to 2k but not sure if the DAC inside it is anything special. Could someone do some research about the audio inside my laptop and see if I need just an amp or an amp/dac? Also which amp or amp/dac would you recommend? Can you recommend a few? My budget is around 300 max. But would help not spending exactly 300 and up. Can you give multiple recommendations like from 300 dollars to 250 to 200 and so on? Thanks.

Asus is not really listing the detail of your G751 audio hardware, except that it uses Realtek audio hardware.
 
For $250-$270 + shipping, you could get a Audio-GD NFB-15 external DAC/amp, I've been using one for the past 18 months

On eBay there is a used Modi DAC, with Magni headphone amplifier, $160 or make an offer.
