I know this is possibly the funniest thing you’ll read today. I’m on a tight budget and I kinda hate the way my laptop makes them sound. I blame it on my laptop for using a cheap card and calling it Bang&Olufsen.

Can I use Logitech’s DAC usb plug for Audio Technica m50x? Will it improve the sound compared to my built in audio card? Or it’s better to save up and buy a proper audio interface?

Sorry in advance if it isn’t possible or marked with a wrong flair ;/

Just get an apple dongle for your laptop. Cheap and works like a charm.

Yep, that’s exactly what I’m about to do. Will try it this evening. Thanks

Dongle specs in case someone is curious. Input: 5V = 100mA

Just plug it in and see how it sounds, it’s not like you gonna ruin either dongle nor headphone. It should work

Thanks I will check it out. Do you also need an adapter? Because as far as I know apple uses lightning?
