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

Just note that McDonalds charges a dollar for all that work you mentioned above!
Massdrop charges 80 for sticking the DAC in the box and wiring it up. My problem is with the price. How about they charge 30 bucks instead of 80? Bring us some value here vs the competition!
The Modi 2 sells for $99 new, also with an AKM chip inside it. $80 is no big deal, babe.
900 bucks minimum rent a month for a 1 BD where I live. It's crazy, just for a small room with a roof.
All our advanced 21st century technology can't figure out a way to give us affordable roofs.
Supply and demand may determine that price we pay but it doesn't change the fact that it's all a huge pile of shit.
It's own unpopularity,,. Because it's selling bad, people aren't as interested. When things are hot sellers and they are moving like hotcakes, the high demand encourages people to buy so they don't miss out.
You asked for reasons, there are plenty even if you don't agree. Not everyone will agree on all reasons but each person may not buy because of one of them.
Whatever the case, it's not selling a lot of units so people aren't buying for some reason! The shipping date is just one possibility you know.
Specifically, he says, "the iPhone 5 is a wonderful high-fidelity audio source. While publications funded mostly by advertisements from makers of expensive cables, power conditioners and outboard DACs don't want you to know this, the iPhone 5 is a better audio source than most DACs will be when connected to a computer or CD transport."

Apple's audio products sound fantastic. On head-fi, someone made a thread that he couldn't tell any difference between a CHORD HUGO and an Iphone headphone output, which says it all.
