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 eventually wound up with a British Quad 306 amp with a 34 pre amp, Axiom reference speakers and a walker turntable. Life was great until someone slammed the door, sending the Nagaoka cartridge skipping across the vinyl. Many may think me crass but I welcomed digital audio with more enthusiasm than most. Vinyl to me is a pain, the upkeep is high and there are too many other issues. The original Nak CD player had it's issues but it was a definite improvement (IMHO)
Fast forward many years. I'm 71 and I run an Anthem MRX710 with PSB mini centre and satellites with a Paradigm sub All of my music is run through a Bluesound Vault (FLAC). My headphones HIFIMAN 400i's are run through a Schiit Audio Asgarde2.
Elgars Pomp and Circumstance #5, The RAF Band rendering The Dambusters March Past, Patsy Cline, Buddy Holly, CCR, Willie, Paul Simon, The Stones, Iggy Azalia, Weeknd, better than being there!
The Anthem can kick into surround and blow you away in a TV or movie fire fight and it can rock your world with a fair degree of musical accuracy!
