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?

The good chips go to Emotiva and Meridian etc. The premium brands.

LOL. Emotiva isn't exactly known for low noise or stellar performance, mate.

I was trying to think of a higher end company. 1st one that popped in my head.
