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

Is there a balanced 2.5mm cable that anyone has managed to get working with the Teaks?
My Cowon Plenue R has a 2.5mm balanced out and I am very keen to get the Teaks running out of that. It tightens up the bass and delivers more drive which I want to achieve.
Thank you
The wiring has me a little concerned as to whether i will truly be getting a balanced signal. I'll have to dig out a meter and chk the contacts. I have several daps as well as dac/amps. I used them last night with my Oppo HA2 SE and I am not sure whether they are finally getting burnt in or the combination of that with this dac/amp but the sound was far superior to anything else i have listened to them with. If you know anyone with one you should try them with it.
I am hoping to eliminate a touch of occasional sibilance I get in them. Running other headphones I have in balanced seemed to helped a bit with that.
I also want to get more power from my DAP which is a Plenue R from Cowon. Currently considering the iBasso DX150, has more output, bit would prefer a balanced 2.5mm cable for the R's balanced out.
Also, do the 2.5mm plugs fit nicely I to the earcups?
