Schiit stack now that the Modi 3 is out. I gather its pricier where you live, but you'll have it for years.
I use an MSI GT83VR for my gaming laptop and while I find the gold, hi-res "audiophile" output to be noticeably cleaner than the regular headphone out, all of those options fail when critically listening through Toslink optical out to my Schiit stack Magni 3/ Modi 3.

Edit: This photo was taken when I had my Magni 3 hooked up with the Modi 2 Uber P.S, the Modi 2 Uber was $150 and while great does not sound better or perceptibly worse than the Modi 3 at only $99

I'm well aware, but I have a PS4, 4K BR player, 4K TV and two laptops that at any time I want, need to out put to a Klipsch soundbar, Klipsch stereo, Schiit stack or BT transmitter so I use a 4 x 4 Toslink Matrix splitter. Find me another solution and i'll be more than happy to try it.
At work I do use a USB-B to USB-C cable for 32bit 192hz output on the Modi 2 Uber. Music from Spotify sounds too similar to warrant a FOMO episode.

CyciumXi see. then you're good. i use my modi 3 through Schiit Wyrd which is then plugged through USB from my desktop. Amplifier is Vali 1. The Wyrd scrubs away USB power and supplies it with it's own from the wall power
