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

Build quality is what I expected for the price - nothing special. I like the red color. I wish the cable was another 4-6 inches longer. I'll probably re-cable them because I can. Speaking of cables, I get zero mechanical noise from it which is outstanding.
I'm still letting my brain adjust to the sound right now but they kind of remind me of a mix between the KSC-75 and the Sennheiser px-200ii. It's an interesting balance. Give me a couple of days and I'm sure there will be some things I can nitpick, but the only sonic issue that I've noticed so far is a ring/sibilance in the upper register of some piano tracks. Their presentation seems to be hit and miss for me depending on the genre/track, but I find myself enjoying 85% of my usual playlists so far.
Again, I'm actually much happier with this purchase than I had anticipated. These will definitely serve as a nice pocket pair of earbuds for trips to the store, short walks or while cleaning the house. Thanks MD
