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

Based on the speakers you're showing you mentioned, you're looking at multimedia speakers, so I presume you want them to sit on a desk. Based on my assumptions I'd point you to JBL LSR305 with an additional sub since they don't do much below 40Hz. There's a 2 pack of them on Amazon for $272 right now. It's something of a tricky set to deal with since the inputs are not RCA or 3.5mm that most people are ready to handle. These are a bit more of a pro speaker and sound like it.
Another great option would be the Audio Engine A5+. These might be a bit out of your price range by the time you add the sub, but have all the "normal" input options. They are typically around $400 though. Maybe you could get a good black friday deal on them though.
The sad fact of multimedia speakers is that they all need a sub, and the good ones don't come with one. At least not the good ones that I know of. Maybe someone else has some better suggestions for you.
