Yep. If you come across some money, upgrade your headphones, not your amp. The higher impedance Senn HD600s may even like the relatively high (industry standard, actually) output impedance of your NAD headphone jack better than your 595s do, and that step up will definitely be audible, in smooth, grainless upper mids and trebles, and tighter, deeper, better controlled bass. There is nothing in the world wrong with dedicated headphone amps, but given the same basic quality level, there is no real reason to expect one to improve upon your integrated unless you're using extremely low impedance phones.
