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

As for sound, I love the Focals. After my second set, I decided I'm not a big enough fan because when those spider cracks start you get a weird feeling in your stomach because your money grew wings.
I'm reluctant to buy an yet closed back because most people post their initial impressions and have no long term experience with them yet.
Those that do often work in a professional environment where they don't have to actually pay for their headphones so they have little motivation to post how the headphone held up over time.
These are my opinions based on my experience and I am neither a professional nor an employee of any company related to the industry yet I believe when companies listen to actuall paying customers and make modifications to their product everybody wins.
Speaking of the hinge breaking, Pioneer HDJ 1500 had the same problem. One of the hinges broke after 9 months of casual use. Pioneer do sell the replacement part (they call it the End Tab). But it costs about $45 each plus shipping,. Really? $45 for a small piece of plastic? No thank you. I would never buy another Pioneer product.
I was very interested in the Spirit One S but after that email from their customer service and reading about the hinge problem. I guess I would stay clear of this product.
