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 actually has a somewhat warm tone, and until I downsized one in tip size, it was skewed in that direction. Although, even after downsizing, it was still present, just not as much. But seating it in deeper did help balance out the sound. Will have to experiment with other tips later, maybe Sony hybrids.
Compared to other sub $100 BA IEMs I have, these are definitely better (Phonak 112, MEE A151, Sony XBA1). I'm actually surprised at the bass that comes out of these for being BA. Most BAs have a distinct bass presentation - people call it tight. I wouldn't say this is as visceral as a larger dynamic driver, but better than other single BAs.
The build quality is great, and will probably use these on the go and travel.
