Ananda with dap

Do I need an amp , I’m currently using with that shanling m3 ultra with the volume under 40 , I read that they don’t need a lot of power but I feel they should be louder to get the better experience. The other option is to buy the balanced cable

I’m really new but I can’t listen the different between chu ll and the ananda , I’m missing something

Also using Qobuz and tidal plus
