I have the HD 598's and I use to use them with the Schiit Asgard 2 and noticed no difference from other amps and even unamped.
Yes, that sounds quite logical to me, HD598 are really sensitive headphones, so there's no need for a powerful amp at all.
A quite clean signal + an output impedance under 8 Ohm is all you need to get their full potential.
For HD598 I would pick a Fiio E10K and call it day.
