Blue Yeti Amp/DAC good enough?

I just bought Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO 250ohm headphones and I already own a Blue Yeti microphone and I was wondering if I would actually hear any improvement if I bought a discrete Amp and DAC such as the Magni and Modi from Schiit or the Objective 2 amp and odac or if the Amp/DAC in the Blue Yeti is decent. I've seen a few posts on Reddit saying that it was pretty decent but I'm not sure.

Not really any point, the yeti is already overly sensitive as it is

 

Honestly if you want better audio I would look into getting a better mic

I thought the only thing the headphone jack on the yeti did was let you listen t whatever it was recording?

If you can use it as an audio device, I'd venture to say it's not enough to properly power the 990s
