Should I get an amp/dac for my HD560S? (alien.top)

I’m using them on my x570 motherboard and wonder if I would get a noticeable increase in sound quality by getting an amp/dac.

I have the same question. I get enough volume with no hissing sound with HD 560S plugged directly into headphone jack on pc. I'm not sure if an external dac just increases volume or/and betters sound quality.

It would just make it louder, DACs are are pretty mature technology now unless you want things like additional outputs, etc you don't need another dac
