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 not this is pretty worthless - there's better solutions out there for less (https://www.amazon.com/Kunlun-E18-Portable-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B00GCDJBMM for one)
The bluetooth is intriguing - but since it's pretty much crap for audio I don't see how a bluetooth DAC even makes sense.....
I skimmed over the HF review: http://www.head-fi.org/products/shanling-h3-portable-amp-dac-with-apt-x-bluetooth/reviews/13617
Some take-aways: Bluetooth is limited to 16/44, No Bass Boost (maybe it doesn't need it but I prefer having one), no play/skip/prev buttons, and that weird positioning of the micro USB port.
For something that is almost $300 you would also expect a case which it doesn't come with one.
