Do not have dedicated amp...but have old AV Receiver...will it be better than my comp?

So I currently own a pair of Ultrasone HFi-580s, but might shell out and get a new pair of headphones or an amplifier.  I don't have a dedicated amp right now.  When I was digging through my neighbors junk the other day, I found a JVC RX517 and was wondering if I can use that as a dedicated amp to drive my headphones...or whether my desktop is good enough/better.  

 

If the JVC is good enough, I can get a new pair of phonesl; if not, I plan to get an amplifier now...and a new pair of phones in the future.  Thanks!  

 

Apologies if I said anything dumb--I'm new to good, high-quality audio...and lovin' it.  Thanks!

Try the receiver and see if it's free. Some are better than others, hit and miss. Only one way to find out.
