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

The main downsides I'd note are the bluetooth (it's ok, but occasional connection issues), windows drivers can be finicky (you can bypass this by just using optical instead of USB), and that the sub out has no filter on it (you have to use the crossover on the sub and it doesn't filter bass out of the L/R).
Overall I'd say it's 100% worth it, main thing that got me to pick this over the SMSL Q5 was the auto on/of and having a headphone amp. But if you don't care about those things you can maybe save yourself some money and get one of those (but it won't look as cool).
