The Audioquest Dragonflies are a bit outdated and overpriced considering what you can buy nowadays, and not much of an upgrade over some onboard solutions (guessing he has a decent mobo since you mentioned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.

I wonder if Apple knows how much cred they got from that little 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.
