The Audioquest Dragonflies are a bit outdated and overpriced considering what you can buy nowadays, and not much of an upgrade over some onboard solutions (guessing he has a decent mobo since you mentioned he plays competitively).
Put it on hold until you can afford something a bit nicer if he ends up not satisfied with onboard, but also no need to exaggerate with how good entry level dac/amps are nowadays.

True, you can get the same performance & power with a 10$ Apple USB-C dongle.

Thank you for the advice. We both have gaming Desktops but his is better than mine so his soundcard may be better. I will have to sit down and have a proper listening test.
