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

To begin with "Quantity is limited" simply means a hard number between 0 and infinite. Massdrop can have 1 or a trillion of these units and the quantity will still be limited. Once all of those units are sold, people who want them new will have to press ‘Request’ until Massdrop gets another batch from Fostex and then there will be a new limited quantity of available units. Fostex is not endlessly making these. They are only making them as long as Massdrop can provide demand for another order. The term you are looking for is actually limited edition or production run.
Secondly, Massdrop has been up front since the beginning that they will continue trying to provide new batches until everyone who wants one, has one. If any individuals ignored this and continued with their own delusions that this was a limited production run or limited edition, that is entirely their fault and no one else’s, definitely not due to any fault of Massdrop. Great headphones should never be limited run/edition.
Lastly, how stupid is it to buy headphones not for how great they sound, but on the belief that they are a limited production run or limited edition of Fostex headphones. Headphones are not clothes or shoes or jewelry. They are not a fashion statement. You can buy fashionable headphones, but ultimately the primary purpose is still listening to music.
