Cheap DAC that measures well and has its own ASIO drivers?

Hello everyone,

I finally got Pianoteq 8 to work propetly with my Topping DX1 and realized that a DAC absolutely needs it's own ASIO drivers to work properly with that software. ASIO4ALL doesn't work properly.

I would like to buy a cheaper option than the Topping for a relative. There is no special driver I can install for the Apple USB dongle, correct? Is there a USB-DAC with its own driver that also measures relatively well and costs significantly less than 100 Euros? If not I'll probably just buy another Topping, but a decent max 50 Euro device would be preferable. Latency should be decent as well.

Thanks a lot!
