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

Getting used to a Class-D amp can seem harsh initially as the transients are hyper dynamic. Its harmonics are odd versus even. Some may shy away as we get used to a "sound" of equipment.(classic tube or transistor) Compressing audio sometimes is far less fatiguing and may be preferred, but when music is properly recorded one shouldn't have to "soften" the sound. Actually I have found that I turned things down with this setup as I do not need volume to have Clarity.
That said, AT $83.50 shipped I think I will be getting a spare or maybe even for bi-amping my Focal's.
