Tube Amp for Sennheiser HD650 — Real Differences in Sound?

❓QUESTION❓

Hello fellow headphone enthusiasts, I’ll soon be getting the highly acclaimed Sennheiser HD650.

​

I wanted to ask: is it worth getting a tube amplifier as well?

​

At the moment I own and use a Fosi Audio ZH3 DAC/amp.

​

More specifically, I’d like to know the actual difference between listening with and without a tube amp.

​

I’m talking about everything related to the listening experience: timbre, frequency response, soundstage, imaging, and anything else.
