The new iphones have pretty good headphone outs in them.  A lot better than a stock soundcard is likely to be.  The Denons are pretty sensitive so they don't need a lot of power but they will want something with a low output impedance keep the bass for getting too boomy.  The iphone has that so you might not need an amp with the iphone.

 

You computer might need something better.  The Fiio E7 portable DAC/amp combo will get a clean signal off of your computer and its amp is plenty good for the Denons.  The Fiio E10 measures a little better, isn't portable, and I think a little cheaper but has a weird issue where it takes half second to start playing after your computer sends it a signal.

The onboard DACs and head amps built in PCs tend to not be very good so that's why I recommended the E7.
