If I had a dac/amp of course i'd just use that - why would i buy it if I wasnt gonna use it?

ii use dac/amp for other things like on a pc for gaming, Apple TV.

On macbook, it's portable. That Fiio is too heavy to move around.

Ah OK i understand. It's up to you tbh, just try with/without.

In my case I run a Edition XS and I can definitely hear a very tangible and significant difference - but I think? am not sure? the HD800S is easier to drive? So you can just test it out and decide for yourself whether the portability benefit is worth the difference in SQ

I just use my macbook all the time with my Audeze at work. Works pretty fine. Hardly worth dragging dongles or dacs to work.

I have an Aune DAC and Sabaj amp at home and do use those rather than the onboard MacBook one. Might be placebo though ..
