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

currently using it out of my pc for more sensitive headphones (iem's) i dont want to plug into my deckard (planars). sounds pretty good with iem's.
Now that another drop is out, I'm hoping that someone can tell me how to figure out to get this thing to play nice with spotify on an android phone.
https://cdn.head-fi.org/a/9983119_thumb.png Now UAPP is the only app that streams audio via USB automatically, all the other apps will use exclusively the audio jack or the speaker. It`s not an ideal scenario for all of us, especially if you´re using HibyMusic, which relies on Android's drivers for the task, but at least I managed to get rid of the buzzing 99.9% of the time. The only time it got back was when I turned on and off bit perfect and/or upsample, turning these options off would result in buzzing, All I had to do was to unplug and plug it again, and the noise was gone. The funny thing is now I hit play in Poweramp and the UAPP playback stops, but the sound comes out of the speaker, and vice-versa, if I hit play in UAPP again, Poweramp stops and the sound comes out of the earbuds. Each USB driver does what it´s designed for, and interact with each other seamlessly. No more strange behaviour or buzzing, just pure musical enjoyment. I was listening to some music, and my wife called. UAPP´s playback paused, and could hear perfectly through the speaker. Once I hanged up, music resumed through the earbuds. For me it´s just perfect, as I don´t plan on using the DAC except for music. I for one don´t need any firmware anymore, this did the trick.>>>
