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! :+1:

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