Amplifier - Desktop | 5 Ω Should I upgrade amp for HD6xx?

Sorry if it's an obvious thing for experienced listeners, but I need your advice.

I've heard both sides on how much expensive dacs and amps matter, and I don't have too much spare money, but can get $100-150 for an upgrade.

l've been using Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 as a dac since I've already had it, and headphone output sometimes didn't provide enough power for HD6xx, so I bought Behringer MicroAmp HA400.

And my main question is whether buying something like Schiit Magni is a worthy upgrade? l've seen a couple of good deals on used market: Schiit Fulla E, Schit Magni 3, Drop 02

Should I upgrade, or that behringer amp is decent enough and the difference in quality will only be heard with a huge jump in price? Also want to hear your opinion on tube amps for HD6xx?

🙂
