Well, it totally depends on the headphones. But, IME, amping a really good headphone out doesn't improve SQ. Obviously this changes if you want to power something like the K1000 or HE-6, then yes, an amp is needed, and 1V RMS no matter how good it is wouldn't give it sufficient volume.
Now, if i'm not mistaken, the headphone out of any analog device is an 'Line Out', ever. Line Outs are often used in equipment with built-in amps that provide more than the standard 2 Vrms, so they include a dedicated 'Line Out' with fixed (Often 2 Vrms) voltage to use it as a source.
You can use the iPhone 6 headphone out (Which has incredible sound quality IME) as a 'line out' without any fix, just using it as a source with a 3.5 to RCA or 3.5 to 3.5 connector to a Desktop or Portable Amp, and the SQ will be as good if not better than using a separate DAC. Try using your headphones with the Headphone Out of the iPhone 6 directly, and if you don't have volume problems, then you're set. If you need an amp, then put the iPhone 6 at max volume which turns the gain to 1 Vrms and connect to the Line In of the portable/desktop amp.
Again, all of this is my opinion, and I can be extremely wrong. Magic says that DAC's improve sound, IME measurements tells the truth, and the iPhone 6 is among the best digital audio source ever created. YMMV IMHO IME Sh!tstorm-magician-audiophiles ahoy.
My recommendation: Use the iPhone 6 headphone out as a source first, without any amp. Listen to your headphones with songs you know and love, and has good mastering. Then connect the iPhone 6 to the FiiO E12A Line-In with a 3.5 to 3.5 connector, and compare it to the iPhone 6 headphone out unamped. If you don't hear a difference consider yourself lucky. If you hear a difference, then it's all good, and consider a 'better' DAC than that of the iPhone 6 (Which is impossible according to Science). You can by-pass the internal DAC of the iPhone 6 with a Camera Connection Kit for iPad which connects to the Lightning and then to the USB input of the DAC, but I don't recommend doing it when the iPhone 6's DAC is just nearly perfect without any bias, but just in case you want to experiment some magic with Audiophile DAC's you can do it.
And no, an already fixed Headphone Out like the iPhone 6's can act as a Line Out, that's a fact. It's not ''double-amping'', that's just stupid. If it
is ''double-amping'', then how a 2 Vrms
LINE OUT of Audiophile DAC's is not ''double-amping'' having 2 times more voltage? Audiophiles can be a fun species.
PD: I don't think that amp will improve the SQ of any device, unless it's really ****ty, which is not the case of the iPhone 6. But try it just in case, and be careful with the placebo effect.
Well, anyway, hope it helps you.
