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 used to have the Beyer DT770's which were 250 Ohm, my little iFi Nano iDSD had 130mW power output and used to struggle to power them to my satisfaction. My Schiit Lyr 2 can pump 660mW into 300 ohms which is waaay more than I need. An amp around 200mW would be ideal I should think.
Can you give me your opinion pls. Your reply was very helpful thx kalavere
I'd go the for X2 with a view to upgrade to a little DAC/amp combo or separates later on down the line. I'm not sure if iFi sell in Aus, but I picked up their iDAC for like £50 on eBay a few months ago, which is $81 AU, really, really cheap. Something like that might be worth looking at to get the best from them.
