NAD Viso HP 50 need (or it's recommended) an amp? How does it pair with the Fiio X3 DAP (High gain)?

Hi!, i'm new at Head Fi. Not really an audiophile, but i'm really interested in getting good quality sound for my music (modern classical, jazz and prog-rock lover).
 
At first, i wonder if the NAD Viso HP 50 (which i'll buy soon) need an amp (or if it's recommended)?.
 
Then... I own a Fiio X3 DAP (now i use it with Shure 215 IEMs) and it has an amp chip (i read somewhere that it works similar to the E17). So i'm wondering if the X3 will pair fine with the NAD Viso HP 50 and if the amplification (High gain) of the X3 will really improve the sound of the NADs.
 
If it´s not the case, maybe someone can recommend me some Over Ears that will improve with Fiio's X3  amplification (high gain mode)?
 
Thanks for the support,
 
Best wishes from Perú.

Amps not needed - it is very easy to drive.  The X3 will have more than enough power (and a low enough impedance) to drive the Hp50s well.
