Just wanna know whether does quality of a headphone depends on the quality of the soundcard? I tried my sennheiser on my pc, it sounds sucky, and i tried it on my hi fi headphone jack, it sounded totally different, great quality. And does headphone amp enhance the headphone sound quality?

so what u mean is, if the power output is enough, then the quality will sound much better? if thats the case, headphone amp will enhance the sound lor
