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

If you still dont like the hd650 relaxed sound signature, just sell it on ebay and buy a m1060 that should be similar in sonic signature to the lcd-2's or lcd-x's(try out the lcd-2's or lcd-x's at the shop), note that the m1060 has a treble spike that affects some people and doesnt affect some people? Or you could get a ATH M50x for a v shaped sig?
Yeah I've heard a lot of those M50x but I think they suck. 😂
What about that Tube amps like https://www.massdrop.com/buy/appj-mini2013-6j1-6p1 or https://www.massdrop.com/buy/little-dot-i-headphone-amp.
Portables that I know have good matching power to drive them is Mojo, but that's expensive.
The best wireless cans right now might be B&W wireless P5/P7. https://twister6.com/category/headphone-review/
However no portable amp is going to drive the hd 650 to its full potential, so personally I recommend the O2 amp and use the centrance slim as the dac. That should reveal much more of the hd 650's potential.
The only issue I had with my DACport was the slightly high noise floor with efficient cans and IEMs(not an issue with the HD 6XX, though).
