Anyone with a z170A and with an high quality headphone (studio quality level) connected on the onboard?

I've been doing a lot of research with the motherboard because what i need/want is good audio chipset, and the best one is the ALC 1550 and the Creative 3D which the Gigabyte Gaming 7 does have (but i've read that with some people it didn't worked too well).

 

So i came upon the MSI Gaming M5, which does have pretty much everything i need.

 

Alright, so i started building my pc, ordered the peripherals first because i can use them right away with my old pc (which i'm still using because i only need the motherboard and the GPU to complete my build), and i wanted a good headphone, so i ordered the DT770, and it seems that my old pc doesn't have enough power for the DT770 (i've connected right into the motherboard, which is an old Asus P7H55-M LE).

 

So i've wanted to know if someone has a motherboard with ALC 1550 chipset and connects a studio level headpone like the DT770 right into the onboard audio of the motherboard, does it have enough power to power up the headphone?

 

I wanna know this to know if i'll need an AMP or not.
