Hello. I bought Superlux HD-681F yesterday. I am delighted from these headphones! They are amazing, especially for their price! This is my first headphones after Ritmix RH-508

Now I see, that PC/Laptop and smartphone are not the best option for these headphones. I was listening them on Fiio X5, if I remember right. I bought them specially for the office, it's primary goal ( yep, in any way I will listen them at home and on nature ).

The first step, I should buy a portable sound card for the headphones. I am only studying these question. Could you help me? I see two options for myself:
1) I will buy very budget card specially for the office ( budget value )
2) I will buy a sound card for home and for job ( it can be more expensive card )

I hope on your advices

Budget?
You say sound card, could you really mean a USB DAC/amp?
Hear is one for $23.

Even cheaper, $17.

Thank you very much!

About budget, let at be maximum 50$ (because I'll use dedicated sound card for home at future, this is only for the office)

Sorry, I am only studying this question. I mean, there isn't cool sound on my work laptop, and I should improve sound for little money. I have thought, that for this I need to buy portable sound card. Please fix me, if it's not so. I'll be grateful for any information

With the Superlux HD681 F, about $23 is about the max someone might spend, for improving on a budget headphone.

Yep, it comes with a PCM 2704 DAC chip, which is more then decent, for music audio.

Thank you very much! I can't buy or order this card in Ukraine, so I am going to buy good sound card. I just will rearrange in my laptop ( from worker laptop )
