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 went with the Premium for comfort and it works for me because I use them strictly for desktop use vs mobile. I imagine one could stretch the band on the Pro model for more comfort though.
I don't have personal experience between 250 vs 600 but from what I've read, the differences are small. I now have the 250ohm drivers in mine (swapped out the old 32ohm drivers) and I love how they sound. I never thought the 32ohm drivers were lacking but I had to replace the old ones so I went ahead and went with 250ohm versions.
It seems to come down to whether or not the extra $100 is worth the added comfort level, the design of this particular model (which I do like), the slight increase in audio quality from the greater impedance, and the chance this all-black model may never be available again. I'm thinking I'll get both and maybe sell the one that I use the least.
