Sound Card for Focal XS 2.1 Speakers

[goodforyou19]

Hey guys,

So I recently just got a pair of Focal XS 2.1 speakers as a gift. I was told that in order to make the most out of these speakers, (since they were quite expensive for desktop speakers in my opinion) I should buy a new sound card.
Can anyone suggest me any solid sounds cards for my speakers? My budget is $150.
On a side note, since my speakers use USB instead of a 5mm headphone jack, does the sound card?

Thanks in advance!

You don't need soundcard. These speakers have built in "soundcard" (actually usb DAC ) which will have nothing to do with your PC soundcard

The also have analog aux input, but I doubt you will improve the sound to any degree using outboard dac/soundcard

To be clear (for both myself and the OP), he should just run a USB cable from any USB port on the PC to the speakers, right?

Thanks!
