Is there much point in using a DAC/AMP on a Samsung tab S7 plus for music (and movies)

I have been eyeing the iBasso DC series or the E1DA series to use with my KZ ZS10 Pro in Ear Monitor Earbuds, I am confused in what one to get iBasso has DC01-05. i listen to a lot of heavy metal and rock.

E1DA has these:
  1. https://hifigo.com/products/e1da-su...-usb-dac-headphone-amp?variant=32362567008305
  2. https://hifigo.com/products/e1da-susumu-edition-9038sg3-usb-dac-headphone-amp?variant=32514565832753
  3. https://hifigo.com/products/e1da-90...plifier-amp-and-cables?variant=32004966842417
I don't know whats the difference between them, would it even make much of a difference?

Also If the device has a 3.5 jack can it still be connected to the c-port? some DAC's cant use the jacks.

Edit: would this be better: https://www.audioquest.com/page/aq-dragonfly-series.html

Gonna depend on a number of factors - an amp is only necessary if your headphones demand them and an external DAC and/or DAC/AMP is only worth it if you are using above average headphones vs the capabilities of the built in DAC. Then there is the usage environment and whether the extra device is worth it vs portability or battery life.
If I'm not asking too much could you recommend an earphone? The budget is around £300. If you don't know, where do I look if the earphones are suitable. I'm not that technical and don't understand a lot f terminology.

With Head-fi I get no response and Reddit wasn't helpful.

Edit: im looking between dragonfly red DAC or the THX Onyx
