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

They only have about 3 hours on them. And while I own a McIntosh MHA100 DAC/amp, that's at my other address. So far I've only driven these HP with redbook FLAC streams fed to my FiiO E17 over coax spdif; so the E17 is doing the heavy lifting. This my only HP driven by that marvel of a portable dac/amp that I don't need to apply any treble or bass boost to to make the music sizzle. Running only 6db gain with volume at atound 50% (30), and these super low impedance HP sound fantastic.
Next drop, buy with confidence. They are great.
Edit. Stayed up to near 4am listening to my favorites used for evaluating HP. How'd IT DO? Its nearly 4am...! I'd never do that if there was even the tiniest hint of suck. ;)
