Looking for a DC for my all around home pc use
The price should be below 100$.(€)
My current favorite is the smsl m3

Anyone got something better in their mind?

Hoping for some opinions

I just use a Behringer UCA-202

Plugged into my 02 with my K7XX's it sounds amazing and the price is dirt cheap

Plus, if you decide you want to fully utilize it, it also does digital (SPDIF) output, standard headphone out, and allows RCA in if you want to record off a record, tape player, etc

Should be a dac amp combo

I looked at the fiio e10k also but z reviews said it was like no bass without bass boost and a little too much bass with the boost on. That would annoy me so much to be honest

The sound isn't going to drastically change. It will only get more pronounced with its current signature. You're not going to change a flat to a V.
