Default PC Soundcard to Headphones - amp or direct?

I'm trying to get the best from my PC sound and am unsure about something.

I currently have a paid of sennheiser HD600 headphones plugged directly into
my Audigy 2 soundcard, would the sound improve if I added a headphone amp
(and associated cables) in between?

Any advice is appreciated


Don't know specificaly about the Audigy 2 but PC soundcards typically have
rather indifferent quality amplifiers in them.

Using the line out to a small decent external amplifier will assure the best
results.
