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 have the 6xx but I have only worn them twice because they bother the top of my head after an hour so not for gaming for me
Compared to the K7XX in terms of comfort and sound, the K7XX wins by a land slide.
The M560 is alright IMO. In my ears, they both target the same balanced signature but the M560 is a bit brighter and has less soundstage. Bass is fast though thanks to DAT planar. Comfort is actually even worst than the DT990 because when you have a similar head than mine, you have to separate the cups even more which in turn tightens up the clamp thanks to the band that they use. The pads are very small for over ears. They modified their latest batch of M560'S so every thing I said so far about the M560 is the current version.
Again K7XX wins
Now the K7XX The K7XX is VERY COMFORTABLE. DAT memory foam pads and the suspension piece that acts as a headband are superb. These do fallout of your head if you're rockin' some tunes since they have a loose clamp. The sound is balanced, neutral to my ears and the soundstage is wide and has good imaging which is good for footsteps. Playing Fortunite, OW, & R6 on these are a joy.
There's my two cents:)
Audio and comfort are VERY subjective so take this with a grain of salt.
If you want to see see reviews of these headphones (or similar to them) I recommend you to watch Zeos, Metal571, and DM3STV for a more info
Happy listening my dude :)
