I recently got the Audeze MM-100 as replacement for my stereo setup, i was wondering would they benefit from a dac or amp? The volume itself is alright but i feel the sound quality should be better. Motherboard is Prime X370 Pro, so it has the ALC1220 codec, the ''good one'' amongst onboard audio.

They aren't exactly high impedance (18Ω), but moving your line level away from the EM noise of the computer might clean up some noise

There are no noise issues.

Then simply put nope. No need for a dac/amp
