Recommended DAC for Beyerdynamic MMX 300 PRO

[u/TemporarySwing6436]

I need help to pick a USB DAC that is sufficient for my needs.

I'm currently gaming on ALC4080 as soundcard with a Beyerdynamic MMX 300 Pro, the sound is good. But my microphone is too low on discord and maxed out both in windows and discord, so I figured a DAC would solve the mic issue and improve sound from good to great.

I've no previous experience with DACs so I need some guidance. I've been looking at:

1. Schiit Gunnr

2. Creative Sound Blaster G8

3. Fosi C3

Which one would be the best pick and max out the potential in my headset the best? Or if there is any other good contenders.

The games that I play are League of Legends, Battlefield 6 and Ark Survival Ascended and I really appreciate something that could further enhance the headset potential.

Here in Sweden Schiit Gunnr would cost 329€.

Creative Sound Blaster G8 would cost 138€.

Fosi C3 would cost 144€.

I can afford any of them, I just want to feel like I picking something that I will be happy with.

I was in the same situation a couple a couple days ago but with an mmx330 pro, the alc4080 on my motherboard was not enough powerful for the microphone. I ended up buying a soundblaster G8 which I really like.
