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

Would you make this a numbered list? Also, please add my question as well - does it support Opus audio?
The reason for asking: Opus supports high fidelity audio at miniscule sizes. Players like Poweramp (v3.xx) support playback of these files on my Android phone. For the claim contestants, I've signed up for the beta versions on Google Play.
-- Update -- It does handle .wma and .aac files. Hope that helps.

There is no search function to speak of. Your player uses the folder layout of whatever files you throw on it, so if you want to carry around a gigantic library don't throw everything into the same folder. So yes, if you throw your "music" folder with all your genres artists and albums onto the megamini (that really just shows up as a usb stick), it will retain that information.
However, there is NO search feature and I have yet to figure out how the "favourites" function works. I doubt this will work for a large library. Simply scrolling through your songs would take an eternity.
Regarding question 5.
No. The megamini's whole appeal is that it is impressively stupid. Some people are really into having as simple a device as possible. Don't expect it to have any fancy or smart features.
Regarding question 2.
I answered this bit in a discussion above. The player remembers where you left off if you turn off the device or if the battery dies. But if you skip tracks it forgets were you where on the previous track. This means that you'd have to fast forward back to the 40 minute mark you were at before you accidentally skipped the track.
