    Default audio interface/DAC recommendations

    hey guys,
    I need some urgent help. I am a noob as far as hardware stuff is considered.
    I have audio technica m-50x which I use for my productions, after some research I found out that I need a DAC or audio interface
    for better quality.
    my first question is do I need a DAC or audio interface?
    If an audio interface, then the ones in my budget are steinberg UR-22, focusrite scarlett solo or any other recommendations from your side?
    I don't do any recordings,I only use a mic that too for very less time.
    my only work is producing on fl studio.
    and if a DAC then which one in this range?
    and final ques is do you recommend mixing on the m50x or some low budget cheap speakers, as I don't have studio monitors now.
    thank you.

    You don't *need* an external audio interface. It sounds like the one built into your computer will serve you fine. To be honest, mate, if you don't know the difference between a DAC and an audio interface, you probably don't need either.

    Just plug in the headphones!

    If you DO have money to spend, an audio interface + powered speakers will be MUCH better for production than headphones...
