Fiio E10K

I have that peachtree dac, it goes alright. I've got nothing more for you though since it's the only one I own connected to my harman kardon kit.

Behringer uca 202
Spend your money on a good amp and headphones
It's cheap but they had this experiment where audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between this and a much more expensive dac

Behringer UCA202/222. You'll want to use a headphone amp if you're using high impedance headphones, too, since the headphone out in the 202/222 performs quite badly with high impedance headphones.

Already have the Sennheisers, so I should get the Behringer 202 and then get a headphone amp on top of it?

Yeah
If you want a good dac/amp solution for cheap you can get a fiio e10k for 100 I think it was
I know you can build your own O2 amp for pretty cheap if you are handy with a soldering iron and I heard it is a great amp

>Sennheisers
What model? If they're <60Ohm you might not even need an amp.

the on ear momentums, I guess they are only 18 ohm

Yeah, with those pieces of shit you won't notice a difference from the UCA's output to an amplified output. I doubt you'll even notice the difference between onboard sound and an external DAC, unless you're using a motherboard from 1998 with a shitton of EMI.

>pieces of shit

pls, they aren't $3000 but they certainly aren't bad
