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've tested using the sound files shared here for the rattling, and report no issues (and see no wires sticking out of the socket). Lastly, I should add that I'm running these through the Schitt Modi/Vali stack. It takes a little more juice to drive these than my Sony MDR-1RBTs, but still plenty of head room. Surprisingly, they still sounded pretty good coming direct out of my iPod classic (not sure if that has a better amp than the iPhones and other models of iPod).
Feel really bad for folks who are having issues with either not receiving or rattling, but wanted to add my comments, to balance out the negative (which are hopefully in the minority; so hard to tell with so many sets still awaiting receipt).
