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 own audio-gd NFB 11 its a fantastic product, but I wanted a better balanced amp, and hence my questions.

In addition to the actual measurements, former link also has references to unpublished measurements that agree with the above. It's also worth noting that Marv has been pretty clear about his hate for audio-gd in numerous posts all over SBAF, nominally due to terrible subjective impressions of both the S19 and NFB11.
As for the AAA 789, I am in. It is everything I want from an amp, so it was hard to pass up.
