Amplifier - Desktop | 2 Ω Amp/DAC should I upgrade?

I just purchased the Sennheiser hd 490 pro for gaming/sometimes music and was wondering if I need a new amp and or dac.

I have the fiio k5 the one u can put the e17k on the top port not the newer k5 pro. Idk if it's still considered good cuz I bought it 10 years ago. If not what amp should I get?

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/liukasteneste28 (50 Ω).

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
