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 love these headphones but they are really not suited for mobile use.... I personally generally use AudioTechnia ATH-M50X's on planes / travel .. similar sound not quite as comfortable but fold / collapse and detachable cable much better for travel. My 80 Ohms can't really be driven properly by my Galaxy S8 needs an amp to sound decent.
Haven't tried the 32Ohm or 80Ohm variants of the DT770s but I suspect, pending the phone, they would work just fine for an airplane.
I've read that the 80Ohms are better and similar to the 770s with higher impedance. Haven't heard anything other than the 250Ohm variant and it's my favorite closed back headphone.
