Do I need a better amp to power hd800s (alien.top)

I have a schiit stack, magni + /modi+/ loki. Will This be enough to run hd800s well? Would it be a waste to run these headphones without a higher quality setup?

I have been running my HD800s off an xduoo xd-05 + vali 2 set up and that gets more than loud enough. I only ever have the amp at 10 o'clock or lower and my computer at 33-36 out 100 volume and it is plenty loud. So if you aren't sure try it out and see if you need to upgrade. I think your set up should be quite sufficient.
