if you're planning to upgrade headphones soonish, I'd go combo usb dac+amp unit. otherwise I probably wouldn't bother.

Will work for electronic components and parts

"My headphones don't get loud enough"

"My headphones have audible EMI/noise when playing games or listening to music"

If the answer to either or both of these questions is no, then you don't need an amp.

"Pardon my French but this is just about the most ignorant blanket statement I've ever read. And though this is the internet, I'm not even exaggerating."
