Does an AMP/DAC have much influence over the sound of headphones? (alien.top)

I'm currently listening to my HD6XX's with my Olympus 2 FIIO DAC and was wondering if I were to change it, would it impact the sound quality much? Or is volume the only real difference?

If you listen through bluetooth or just from a phone or laptop, the DAC in there is extremely low quality. And it's surrounded by all the other electronic parts from the computer/phone so there's basically shitloads of emf interference going on too. An external DAC will make the difference. Spend well though.
