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

Sound? Fantastic! I don't think I could have found a better sounding headphone in that price point.
Comfort? About two hours, then they tended to hurt the ears a bit.
Bleed? Grado Headphones are an open back design, which means the sound WILL bleed. I found they were not appropriate for my work situation (yes, I am a Cube Farm dweller)
Should you get them? Give them a shot, they really are excellent under 100$ headphones, if bleed is not an issue.
Note: My primary headphones are now ATH-M50X headphones, which sound good as well, closed back (tend to be a little bassier), don't bleed, more comfortable for long sessions but make the ears more sweaty, but are also more expensive.
