Thank you, Evshrug and Phthora, for your kind and detailed answers. Looks like, indeed, I should buy myself an amplifier, at least if I want to enjoy them even more than I would if just straight out of my laptop.
I did find iFi Audio Zen Dac V2 here, at a price slightly less than the HD 560S (although it's called Dac, I take it it's a mixture of dac and amp for the headphones) - and indeed it's quite praised. It's still probably far from that $799 amp you have, Ecshrug, but considering this will be my first gear of this kind, I should be more than satisfied. Thank you for the recommendation.
I will let you know of my impression after the first auditions, but when this will happen, I don't know. All the best!
Later edit: unless you were referring to iFi Audio Zen CAN, which is indeed an amplifier, with a bigger price. But this one does not comprise a Dac, as I can see.
