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

Poorly produced music, however, is much more apparent with these than any other speakers or headphones I've listened to. Brickwalled music, in particular, suffers on these due to all the peaking creating staticy artifacts. All That Remain's "The Order of Things" is unlistenable to me now for this very reason. Fleshgod Apocalypse's "King" sounds really good, though, so even some brickwalled stuff sounds great depending on the rest of the production.
Build-wise, these are very light and I'm somewhat worried about how they'll hold up over time. They flex easily, and while this makes them very comfortable to wear, I can easily image the bands across the top snapping. I hope they have an aluminum interior, but I'd be surprised if that's the case. The detachable cable is pretty awesome, and makes carrying them around much easier. It also allows me to fix my primary complaint: cable length. I don't need a 10' cable, and I'm so happy that I don't have to live with it.
