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

- Somehow wire the AppleTV4K to the receiver so that Apple can handle the sound. But I have it connected to the TV, which outputs sound via TOSLink to the Sonos. The Apple remote controls the Sonos volume as well as the Apple menu system. If I screw that simplicity up and make her start using the receiver remote, my wife will lose her mind and probably stop feeding me. I'm not messing with the WAF.
- Somehow get a wireless interface pulling music out of the air and sending it to the AV receiver. Hopefully there's something here at MassD that can handle it.
Whatever works, and I'd really like something that would allow me to either select the music via phone app (like Sonos), or via onscreen menu on the tv (like Apple). I've seen questions nearly identical to mine pop up in audio forums and no one has given any realistic answers (realistic means it doesn't cost a thousand bucks and completely rearrange how things run). So, audio brains, what is the correct, simple way to get that music from the drive to my stereo?
