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

I personally think it’s selling for a reasonable price. Actually I requested this drop but unfortunately I happen to be short of cash when it besomes available. The marginal costs for high end audio are never low.
The only complaint is its weight. If you don’t care that, then there’s no better planar headphone under even double of this price.
If you want to buy something cheaper but no worse than the Odin, I’d recommend the Koss ESP950.
To me, electrostatics always give you more details and dynamics (even the cheap ones). But dynamic driver and planar headphones give you a different experience. They are different types of animals. Electrostatic headphones bring you good enough sound quality with less cost than dynamic drive/planar headphones.
