Is it worth buying a good amp for my HD 555s?

My audio jack broke off inside my laptop so I guess I'll have to buy an external sound card. I was wondering if it was worth spending some money on a good amp for these headphones or whether it would be fine to buy a $10-20 on amazon. I wouldn't wanna spend over $100 on one though.

You can get a Behringer UCA202 (USB DAC/Amp), it's working well with my HD555 and speakers, and is pretty cheap.

i run mine from my amps output (yamaha a-s700 or a nad c300) or sometimes my Aune DAC/headphone amp - all are significantly better than using headphones right off the onboard!

HD555's don't benefit much from an amp. they do benefit from a better source though, maybe a Audiotrak Prodigy Cube?
