Thanks guys for helping me. Looks like the Fiio K7 is the best option - powerful and not too expensive. I’ll get the dac tomorrow.
P.S as CPOx said, i spent more time listening to music with XS and yeah, even with my mobo i can hear the difference now. The soundstage and imaging is much better, the bass has somewhat of a texture (this wow’ed me), but still the treble is a bit too bright and often sibilant, just like with 990s.
