Would I benefit from an amp if using a DAC & Headphones?

[Ice Rich]

Hello,

I have a DAC Magic+ with some HD650 headphones and i'm very impressed with how it is all sounding. I have a few spare funds and would like to put it into something sound related and wondered if I would benefit at all from getting an amp? I'm presuming the DAC i'm using now must have something built-in already as it is powering the headphones...

I guess what I an asking (and still a bit confused by) - is an amp used to boost signal or provide power to speakers? (if the latter i don't think it would be of any use as the speakers I do use, when not using headphones, are active with power built-in)

Thank you

Thank you - are you connected to a DAC also?

Interesting , thank you.
Where would the amp sit do you know - would it be after the DAC? As it would be just for headphones really (rather then speakers) could I run a cable from headphone out on the dac to the amp?

Thank you, I will have a look on back of DAC now for those inputs.

I have a budget of 200
