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

It isnt. The mojo is an excellent dac, but schiit modi multibit offers better sound at less than half the price.
The interference of the mojo when stacking up to mobile devices is inacceptable for the price you are paying.
And honestly, no one wants to strap a mojo to their phone, trust me, i already dont like stacking my fiio e17k to my phone which is about half the thickness of the mojo.
The mojo is only for those than require a portable dac on the go and wants to drive headphones with them. Ill rather buy the ifi micro idsd black label for the insane amount of options.
I went to try the mojo and the ifi black label, and what I can say is that the mojo's dac is excellent but is let down by its inferior amp stage. The ifi black label shines with classical recordings due to its soundstage, while the mojo is excellent for the Signature chord house signature, with mids full of body and a very intimate sound signature that makes vocals much more superior to the ifi. Ill still recommend the ifi for its output power and features.
The ifi is transportable but not portable. Its impossible to strap an ifi to your phone.
My advice? Always try before you buy. Dont buy based off hype generated by online reviews.
