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

The Grace is smaller, doesn't have balanced capability, and less power, but sounds better and smoother to my ears.
In my case I put the Jot in the closet for now. If you need more power than the Grace and don't want/need the balanced connection, you might consider the iDSD Micro-iCan Black Label - it's pretty dope for listening fun.
I think you are better off with the Jot.
They have a "sale alert" function you can click, presumably to send you a notice when/if the sale comes back. I've seen the sale, briefly each time, like for a couple days only, about three times the last 2-3 months.
