HD600 is probably on the borderline. If you like to listen to your music loudly or likes your bass beefy, then an amp would benefit greatly. The general rule of thumb is that each 3db increase double the power draw.
A good option could be a wireless DAC like the Fiio BTR3 which will turn your headphone into a wireless one while also double as a small amp.

Over the years I've kinda turned allergic to the concept of wireless, things just seem much more reliable the old fashioned way (for now). Though the idea of turning my headphones wireless does sound good :D You mentioned that the power draw is about double for every 3 dB, how long does the BTR3 last on battery alone? It seems... tiny.

It's a 550mAh, should get anywhere between 6-9hr of listening. It varies depending on volume, headphones draw, and Bluetooth encoding codecs used.

Huh, it seems like I might be going back to wireless after all. Thank you
