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 do have some added improvements I'd like to see.
1. With my heavier cabled headphones When I coil them up and place them on the arm the rigidity of the cable sometimes pushes the whole coil off the the peg.
I noticed a post where someone modded theirs with an O-ring or something. That'd be a great and simple improvement for this product.
2. My ATH-AD700xs and all AT headphones with the 3D Dynamic Wing support have Zero height adjustment. This is because the "wings" are supposed to push the headphones to the right spot on your head. Because of this when I hang them on this stand the cable connection is right up against the surface of my desk. I've had to attach some padding to the top of the arms to give these headphones more ground clearance (I think someone posted a picture of something similar to this as well). I just don't like having a 90 degree bend in my cable right at the connection point.
That said I still plan on buying another of these stands for my desk at work. I just love the industrial look you don't get from a Banana Hanger and other DIY/Innexpensive options don't give. Any similar quality metal stands (not hangers but stands) I've seen are right in this price range. Putting a pair of $1500 Audeze planar magneticcans (I don't own a pair i'm just saying) on a banana hook is tantamount to sacrilege.
