Will I need an amp running AKG k712's into a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20?

Focusrite says that the 18i20 should be able to drive anything under 250 ohms with no problem. I'm reading that the AKG k7xx are very low sensitivity though. Given that using an interface with a headphone amp is supposedly less than intuitive, I'd love to be able to run the k712's directly into the interface. Here's what I've pulled for specs:

For the headphones:

Sensitivity headphones105 dB SPL/V
Rated Impedance62 Ohms

For the interface headphone outputs:

Frequency Response
20 Hz - 20 kHz +0.5dB
Dynamic Range
108 dB (A-Weighted)
THD+N
<0.001%
Maximum Output Level
+13 dBu

Thanks in advance for any insight!
