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

Pros: -small and portable -2 outputs which is always great for recording, or as I use it to drive an audio visualizer for a projector -build is sturdy, knovs feel good
Cons: -the crossfader on the unit I received felt kind of cheap, and even looked different then the one in the images. -the headphone volume is connected to the main volume, meaning if you don't want the speaker volume up all the way, then even if you have the headphone knob all the way up, its still going to be very quite
Final thoughts I like the way the headphone que works, by playing the right/left inputs through the right/left channels in the headphones. Over all its a handy little gadget that unfortunately has minor drawbacks that seem like simple engineering oversights.
