USB Sound Card suggestions

[mhurron]

I currently have a SoundBlaster X-Fi, but it doesn't have macOS drivers. One of the biggest issues that causes is I can't use the system shortcuts to control volume, muting etc. I have a 2.1 speaker setup.

Anyone have suggestions for decent, macOS supported external sound cards? I don't want to spend too much, around $100 would be doable.

I've got Dragonfly Red, but I think sound signature should be the same in the Black one. I love its sound quality.

Some of the cheap ones also work if all you are concerned about is system sounds.
Typical USB audio does not require drivers.

Note that some USB audio disables the Volume Control.
