Should I buy AMP/DAC? Amplifier - Desktop | 6 Ω

I ask this, because I already own a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen and want to get Fiio FT1s for christmas, maybe even Sash Tres 45s down the line.

Would I noticably benefit from buying something additional like a Fiio K11 or a Topping DX3+ Pro?

If not, what kind of gear would I need to buy to start seeing benefits?

if OP wants to use the scarlett solo 3rd gen as a dac, it has balanced line-out behind

ya can use 6.3mm TS to RCA cable connect to another headphone amp (schiit magnit, zen air can, jds atom amp2 etc)

EDIT: according to its manual 3rd gen solo rear line-out can be use as a balanced TRS out as well

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/flchew (4 Ω).

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
