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

I will advise / warn that depending on your preferences / hearing the treble can be pretty harsh if paired with a brighter Solid state amp... I can't listen to these with my FiiO E07K/E09K stack.. too harsh
They are listenable /not bad with my 80's vintage Kenwood KR-V106R receiver
They are delightful with my DV336SE (RCA 6SN7GT and GE 6AS7GA) the highs are tames the sound stage is good the lows quite good.
blah blah... these are best (imho) when paired w/ tube amp if possible or warmer Solid State amp.. bright SS gear should be avoided.
comfort is quite good
