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

The headphones themselves are great though. They sound amazing and are worth the price but build quality is an issue as they're made mostly of plastic.
Just a heads up for any Canadian buyers. Dealing with support after my K712s breaking within a year has been a nightmare and I wouldn't wish this experience on anybody.
I wouldn't worry too much about buying these. If you happen to break them after Massdrop's warranty ends though, good luck getting them repaired or replaced if you bought them from another country.
The warranty in the K7XX's case may be different but that doesn't change the fact that AKG is by far the worst company I've contacted in terms of customer support. The distributor I purchased my 712s from shares the same experience and has decided to stop selling AKG Pro products as well.
Edit: I went and read the drop page and it states that there's a two year warranty from AKG on the K7XXs. So Massdrop covers 1 year of warranty for all purchasers (whether they're from the US or Canada) but after that, all Canadian buyers are left without support from AKG (directly contrary to their warranty terms).
