Will I notice a huge difference?

I'm currently using the HD 600 with my Asus Xonar DG for awhile now. 
I've recently been researching external dac/amp especially the O2+ODAC.
Will I notice a noticeable difference in audio like for example from watching a youtube video to listening a 320 kbps audio file on Spotify. 
Please comment if you experience going from a cheap soundcard / onboard audio to something more expensive!

No.

 

If it gets loud enough, and has no interferance problems/static, you dont need to buy anything

Are you having troubles with volume? If not, then probably no.

I noticed an incremental improvement with a Schiit Magni 2U over onboard and Fiio E10. Very incremental, mind you.

 

I don't recommend spending any money on a DAC. It will help very little unless your onboard suffers from interference.

 

The O2 is overvalued at $120-130 so I don't recommend it either.
