Has anyone compared the sound of the Sennheiser HD660s or other headphones from the Mac Air M1 to an external amp and felt no difference?

    M1 MacBooks should be plenty powerful for the 660s, they are quite efficient

    The 660s are pretty efficient, you shouldn’t need an amp for them with your Mac. However, talking about DACs, you should be able to tell the difference if you buy an external DAC and use it instead of a direct connection to your Mac. Companies like Apple or Samsung aren’t too set with using really high quality DACs in their products. It’s not effective for marketing. You can find decent portable DACs online though.
