first of all, as it is a DAC and not a subwoofer you won't feel a difference and you need an expensive DAC to hear some difference (near studio grade) and then you will not experience the difference with a €30 gaming headset

It would be much smarter to spend that money on a decent set of headphones

yeah Spending that money on a good to decent headset is better then a dac and bad headphones.

If your looking for BASS IN YOUR FACE than an AMP might do it more than a DAC, but once you start getting into amplification than hissing might be much more noticable than before. In this case a grounded DAC would help eliminate hissing ground loops, and noise from the mobo. 

 

I got these headphone for when I want bass ATH-PRO700MK2 and a 800mW amp. It makes my ears shake. (HyperX cloud 2 also sound bassy and has mic)

Take a look at equalizer APO and Peace GUI for windows. It makes it easy to tweak EQ.

If you're presently happy with what you got, stick to it for now. Save up for a better amp or DAC combo + headphones upgrade in the future, such an upgrade would yield a more noticeable audio upgrade/difference than to simply get an amp with your present gear.

My $99 usb dac/amp sounds noticeably nicer than the audio from my board and that was a close to $200 motherboard. That said, my headphones are also Beyerdynamic and not some unknown cheap gaming headset. Getting a dac for that would be a waste of time.
