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

It’s worth pointing out that Bose QC 35 are a headphone with an affiliate marketing program that pays way better than most. So most YouTubers covering top headphones mention it because they want to make money. Bose is really good at marketing, but in reality these are straight up robbery, that’s why you always hear about huge discounts and $50 affiliate marketing payouts. There is no way this headphone is worth >$400.
The $40 Koss Porta Pros are a good benchmark for the minimum sound quality you should get from anything more expensive. The Bose QC 35 is far behind that standard.
Try the Bowers and Wilkin noise canceling headphone, or just some passive closed back over ear headphones.
