DAC recommendation for Moondrop Starfield?

DAC - Desktop

I just bought my Starfields which sound amazing but i find that i got a bit of white noise when plugging it into my PC, it's perfect on my smartphone, seems like its because it provides too much power into the iems.

Im not even sure if i even need a DAC to solve that issue, but if i'd need one, which one should i buy? Below 50€ if possible if not the cheapest option, i just want to remove that noise, volume control and so on not needed

Already tried that kind of dac, but my motherboard's usb type c doesnt work as an audio output

Edit: unless what i used is not a dac but just a converter from jack to usb-c, it came with my xiaomi phone

Use a USB-A to C converter.

Get the Shanling UA2. It has good synergy with Starfiield.
