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

You mentioned in another post that you've got Sony noise cancelling phones. They are designed to work as portable headphones run direct from your smartphone,l without an amp. The Sennheisers are designed largely for being used at home, with an amp. And there's very little reason to get a portable amp for these.
But my inner nerd would still force me to Google them first.
" Because the HD 6XX’s open-back design won’t isolate you from outside noise or prevent sound from being heard by those nearby, it may be best-suited for quieter home and office environments. "
