What would be a good portable Dac/Amp to use with my HD6xx and Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone?
I am new to this hobby. I purchased a HD6XX and plan to use it with my Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone, that has a 3.5mm jack. I was wondering if I needed a portable dac/amp or just a portable amp and if so what would one recommend? Any assistance one could provide, would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Haz

"Anyway, I said I'd post some initial impressions (I'm past 75 hours of burn-in, including brain-in), so here they are:
Delivery content is darn nice - not only for the price but also in general. Strain relief is perfect on all parts and the in-ears also don't lack a cable cinch - brilliant! Regarding sound signature: smooth and quite bassy. No peaks, no edginess. Value for the money is quite good but I wouldn't see the overall resolution much above the price - it is a solid budget offering with great cable, not more and not less. Mids could be somewhat better distinguishable imho. Bass quality is surprisingly good - it is more on the big side but fast and controlled - really nice. The soundstage is authentic - decent depth and airiness.
Thumbs up so far."
