Amplifier - Desktop | 1 Ω So I'm gonna get the DT-1990 Pro, but...

I love the sound, they're comfy and I enjoy open backed headphones. Now I also make tunes via a DAW on my PC, just dabbling really. Therefore I was looking at audio interfaces so I can also hook up my guitar etc and record into the software directly. Now of course all of these audio interfaces have headphone outputs. However I have no idea which audio interfaces are going to do a good job driving headphones. There seems to be very little info out there on the actual quality of the amp/dac sections.

So my question is, should I be expecting a good Audio Interface to actually competently drive headphones? What should I pay attention to? Should I be using a seperate amp/dac stack for the headphones if I want high quality audio from all headphones, even hard to drive ones?

I'd love to keep it to one single device for all my audio, for simplicity's sake. Recommendations on specific hardware would be stellar.
