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?

I have both of your gear. I am now using FiiO K7. It gives more power than the Olympus but no, it doesn't change the sound. It's just louder and if you have a bad soundcard, a better dac reduces the noise. At least from my own experience
