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

Kennerton has proposed custom-made models on MD several times with relatively good discounts. You know why ? Because all Kennerton headphones are hand crafted (and not in China at 2$ per hour) and assembled in small series. The built quality is simply excellent, drivers are tuned and matched, unlike the cheap NVX that are mass-manufactured in China with piss poor quality control (as always). These are evolutions from the previous Kennerton Magister if you're looking for reviews to know how they're tuned. But hey, I suppose you realistically expect high quality items handcrafted at 80$ with free delivery and have no issue buying "premium" jeans made by Pakistan kids for 5$ per month ...
Please make yourself a favor and go read about Kennerton headphones and reviews before you make assumptions that are simply based on thin air. There ARE reviews out there.
It gets tiring to have people that bash any audio item over 500$ with no idea about what they're talking about.
Point is, even back before heavy testing, and when they were even cheaper in stock form, they sold at massive markups without people complaining that they were crazy overpriced or awful unknowns without the testing we see on newer things.
