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

I suspect that certain other Massdrop members had the same issue.
If you offer the ZDT Jr. again at some point after Christmas, I predict you'll get at least as many participants as you did in the initial drop. I know that I'll be one of them.
Why? 1) April/May 2018 drop with confirmed shipment by June 26 2018 is much more attractive compared to currently estimated 7 month long wait. 2) April/May 2018 is much more reasonable than November 2017 for this kind of drop given the fact people are mostly focused on Christmas gifts now (for others or themselves). 3) By April/May 2018, more impressions of the amp will be available online. Apart from other potential opportunities to hear the amp, I am at least aware of the fact that an official loaner was provided currently to SBAF that will be heard by at least 20 different people in upcoming weeks.
Of course, it is up to Massdrop to decide what makes sense to them.
The bad news is that we're born to suffer and die, but that's part of the audiophile experience. By the way, if necrophile means what we imagine it must, then why in Scrod's name would anyone want to be described as an audiophile? Do we really want to walk in on a friend writhing around on the carpet with an OTL tube amp pressed against their pelvis?
