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

If your budget allows, buy Opus#1 or Fiio X5iii for midrange DAP, or Chord Mojo or Oppo HA-2SE for midrange DAC/AMP.
If you want to go mobile, my recommendation is that don't buy a dedicated dac/amp because in the end you would need to do stacking with your Samsung. Or maybe you could try to see the review for dragonfly. The shape is like an usb, but still you'd have to manage with extra cable hanging out from your power jack.
In any event, the Cayin N3 and the Fiio X5iii can act as a dedicated dac/amp, so you can connect it to your pc/mac should you have the need someday.
