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

My argument about using a good DAC/AMP with the HE-4XX is not just about general "loudness" levels, but more about broader scalability more generally. I am fairly confident that moving beyond mobile phones and laptops (no matter how good their sound hardware and implementation) the 4XX can really shine, as their sound receive a noticeable lift in sound clarity and width. I have tried them on my mobile as well as my Win10 laptop and honestly they sound quite dull.
