Apple's High Impedence Output vs Dedicated Dac/Amp (alien.top)

So, Apple just posted this listing of their list of Mac Products that ship with High Impedence Headphone output including their lowest end M2 Mac Mini.

https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT212856

Anyone who have used these inbuilt dac/amps as well as dedicated high end dac/amps? If you have, what are the sonic differences for a dedicated dac/amp? is it worth it?

Have apple solved the Amplifier requirement for a regular consumer?

My Bad! My intention was to type output for high impedence headphones! That last line is fair enough. But if there is enough power and the measurement is clean enough, i'm curious to see if there serious benefits of an external dac/amp
