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

My first headphone amp. I'm a little old school (well, more like totally) and initially didn't understand all this fuss over these amps. On my flight back to Canada, I used the amp function to watch onboard movies and the difference in clarity was night and day (on a pair of Samson SR850 32ohm, bought from MD at a super discount). Still had half battery after 3+ movies. Now use it as a PC DAC/amp (maybe I'm a little paranoid but I have to manage battery charging to red uce stress on the battery -- my 2.4A charger doesn't seem quite enough to keep it topped up while in use). Awesome device.
