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

Here are the specs that Chan gave me:
Here's some information about how they are wired: 2.5mm TRS ( left ) Tip --- L signal Ring --- L return Sleeve -- NC 2.5mm TRS ( right ) Tip --- R signal Ring --- R return Sleeve -- NC 3.5mm TRS Tip --- L signal Ring --- R signalSleeve -- Return ( L and R return shorted together )
I'm disappointed that I STILL can't use my headphones the way I intended to and feel bad for Chris. It seems that Chan used a non-standard connector and the whole point of having a detachable cable is to be able to buy an after-market cable.
I love the way these headphone sound and look, but I regret buying them, especially since Chan originally told me they came with a 15' cable, which would have been perfect. If they did, I wouldn't have had to order one from Chris and I wouldn't be out the extra 80 bucks plus the shipping costs back to Chris, and I would have been enjoying my headphones for the past few weeks.
At this point I would definitely NOT recommend these headphones to anyone that actually wants to use an aftermarket cable. If the cables available from EMU fit your needs, then I would heartily endorse them.
I'm going to look into other options, like an extension cable or getting a longer cable for one of my other sets of headphones.
