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

Rules to Remember
Power Calculation Example Let's use the B&W 703 S2 speaker, which has a specification of 89dB spl /1W/1m. Most people will be using two speakers. This means double the power so it effectively makes the speaker specification 92dB SPL /1W/1m, or 3dB higher, as per rule #1. Now let's look at how rule #2 works. Every time you double the distance from the speaker, SPL decreases by 6dB. The table below shows how our 92dB from earlier decreases with distance.
