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

But as an amp it is far from ideal for these cans, and I advise against it.
See, the D1 amp has a very high gain (20db) , a relatively high output impedance (10ohm) and linear taper volume knob. All these combined will make for a very bad match with low impedance and highly efficient headphones, especially the Grado's !
I'd go for the Fiio E10 if budget is tight, The Fiio E9 will also be a good match, especially combined with the HiFimeDIY Sabre DAC.
