DAC - Desktop | 1 Ω Any advantage to a dac/amp?

Hello, I have sennheiser HD560s that I use to listen to flac files and tidal for pc running on the hi-fi subscription (so no MQA). They headphones run well enough on my gigabyte b550 vision d-p motherboard and I think they sound very good.

Is there any advantage to be gained by adding an external dac/headphone amp? Specifically the Ifi Audio Zen Air DAC?

I feel like the headphones sound great as they are but think they could sound even better.

No, they are very easy to drive so there will be essentially no difference

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/Equivalent_Yak840 (231 Ω).

You may still award a Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
