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

a lightning cable to micro usb?

Anyway, from my subsequent research, it seems that the recommended way to connect to an iPhone with Lightning port is to use the newer Apple Camera Connection adapter: http://www.apple.com/ca/shop/product/MD821AM/A/lightning-to-usb-camera-adapter?fnode=3a
Apple states that it's only compatible with iPads, but it's known to work with iPhone 6 & 6 Plus for connecting to DACs. Just combine it with a USB to Mini B cable and you should be good to go. That's what I've ordered now.
