I am looking to stop using my onboard DAC on my PC motherboard and upgrade to a desktop DAC & headphone Amp. I tried to research this stuff myself for days now but I decided to go to this forum to get help from real people. Thanks in advance for the advice and answers.
Just some details first to help you answer my questions.

Just some details first to help you answer my questions.
-Details
- Instruments: I do not use any instruments in my setup except my AKAI MIDI keyboard. So no need for a audio interface.
- My PC Build: (Mainly a gaming PC that is forced to also be a music producing machine.)
- DAW & Plugins: I have FL Studio 20. As for Plugins, I use many of FL Studios stock plugins. I also use alot of Xfer Serum & Omnisphere
- Speakers: As of now I only have Logitech Z323 Computer Speaker System.
- Headphones: I want to use headphones for my setup primarily. I plan on buying Beyerdynamics DT770 PRO 250 Ohms. So I will need a Amp that can drive these the way they are meant to.
- Budget for DAC: Looking for something around Mid to high end range. Preferably an external DAC.
- Budget for AMP: Same range as DAC. Preferably an external Amp.
-Questions
- About my Logitech Z323 Speakers. Do I even need an Amp since I have these? It has a built in volume knob on my right speaker that can increase volume even if the PC is at max volume.
- For music producing, can a DAC improve sound quality of your music verses using a onboard motherboard DAC?
- What DAC & AMP would you recommend for this type of music production setup? Also would you recommend a DAC/AMP combo?
Thanks
