Is the behringer Studio M and/or UMC22 strong enough to power 80ohm headphones and studio speakers?

Headphones - Closed Back

Hi,

I am a bit new to the audiophile scene.

I've got the 80ohm DT 770 Pro, and am planning to also get some speakers and subwoofer set very soon. From my understanding, i'll need some sort of DAC with a built in amp to power the speakers and subwoofer.
Is the behringer UMC22 powerful enough to handle that? Would I need to buy a separate DAC on top of my USB audio interface to power it? Is there a budget friendly alternative for a USB audio interface/DAC combo (if they even exist)?

I want to spend as little as possible on a USB audio interface/DAC so I have a higher budget for speakers
