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 own a T-50RP MK3 and I've gone through 4 pads and funny enough I find the Dekoni TH-X00 (not designed for it but it fits) pad actually sound better than their T-50RP pad. Reason being the TH-X00 pads is a little bit shallower and bring the driver closer to your ear which bring up the vocal range better. T-50RP pads are a bit more V-shaped sounding.
Again it really depends on what your musical preference is so your mileage might vary but I'd recommend keeping the stock pads.
Personally I like TH-X00 pads more even though it's not designed for it and you might have to rotate it around to get the right angle.
But you can always go with the safe route and get the T50RP pad.
As for the fit it's actually fairly simple because TH-X00 is actually a little bit bigger, except it's round while T50RP is oval.
Just keep in mind that TH-X00 is angled pad so you might have to get the thicker part to the lower back behind your head, imagine 45 degree downward behind you when it's on your head.
I've never auditioned T-X0 so hopefully those 2 go well together haha.
