Why are you being sarcastic? Many audiophile headphones benefit from amplification.

For example, when someone says that they didn't enjoyed HD600 and there comes guy in comments saying that you need $1000 Dac and Amp to power them.

What if the first guy was running the HD600 or some planar headphone off his phone without knowing about impedances? Surely a decent budget dac amp would be a good improvement over his phone.

Yes, I agree with you, I was being sarcastic about people who make others believe that you need some crazy high end amplifier to run budget headphones.

Oh definitely don't need those

At least is an Argon.

Obviously, but if you don't like headphone, giving more power won't make you love it.

Well of course, but it's a good possibility that it might as well.

Just add some equalization to it and call the day.
