amp and dac help

[capkid1000]

hello.
so I'm looking to get and external dac and amp for my pc. but I don't know anything about audio.
so I'm going to ask what is the best usb dac and amp I could get for about £100 to £150.
it does not have to be amazing I just want good one's.
so what would be a good recommendation for me ?
thanks

You could go for a Fiio e09k and later down the road if you want to upgrade can buy a Fiio E17 to go along with the e09k to get a DAC+AMP combo? If you want to save money then the E10 is superb.

Yes, I have my speakers plugged in via the line out at the back and my headphones in the front port (both are 3.5mm jacks).

When I use the speakers, I just turn the volume on the E10 down as that only works for the headphones and when I use those I just turn the speakers off

I found this and after reading up about it I've decided to get it.

i considered the e09k + e9 combo as well, but it isn't supposed to work that well.

oh well, yours looks nice as well.
