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

- Not sure about the durability & QC claims as mine have been rock solid. In fact, they still look like they've just been taken out of the box.
- My pair needed 200 hours of burn-in before I began to feel that they "matured" . Right now, the bass is quick & extended but it's not the strongest. The treble has developed some air & is very good without being sibilant. The midrange, which was always the strong suite, remains so & the small issue I had with the upper midrange has dissipated. They are a very neutral iem. Because of their comfort, fit & ability to isolate, I'd call these my main everyday travel iem's. I have many others that I also use so no, it's not a matter of me getting used to their sound. They really have improved over time & to be honest, I'm not sure that they've finished improving.
- Dynamics are not the best & they don't like to be pushed to hard. Keep them within their comfort zone & they can be very good.
To summarize:
