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

I need recommendation for DAC/AMP/Combo that meets the following requirements.
1) Able to drive some ~$300 headphones (not sure what to get yet but looking into this price point) and JBL LSR305 speakers.
2) Digital input should include both TOSLINK and USB because I will attach my desktop and laptop to it. Need to be able to switch between the two sources.
3) Need volume knob.
4) Hopefully under $200 total. The only alternative I know of is the Schiit Uber Stack but that is $300.
5) Good sound quality of course.
Thanks!
