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

This is a special edition of the dac/amp I have, with an upgraded dac and a TCXO upgrade installed as well.

They really are best in their class, but you do have to email a guy in china, and then they send you an invoice, you send them money, and then you get an amp pretty soon after.
PLENTY of power to drive pretty much anything up to and including harder to drive planars, killer dac, fixed/variable output options for the dac. Optical or USB input.
more expensive, but a better device overall, i'd say.
NFB has plenty of power to drive pretty much anything you'll ever own within reason (if the NFB can't drive it, you're already way out of that price range anyways).
As far as the dac goes, nope, nobody needs 32/384. it's all marketing.
