Will Focal Shape Twin plug directly into my DAC and that's all I need?

I currently have a RME ADI-2 DAC fs that I use for my headphones. I would like to replace my desktop computer speakers with two Focal Shape Twin speakers. Would I be able to plug these speakers directly into the DAC and be done with it? No amp needed because these are active.

I'm new to high-end audio as you can tell.

Yes, either via RCA or XLR.

I've got the RCA on mine feeding into a speaker amp and it works well. You click and hold the volume wheel to switch between headphones and line out (for your speakers).
