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

As far as how they sound on my system with the stock pads... absolutely fantastic! Incedible detail and intonation changes come across. Slightly bass light for my taste, but the Loki fixed that no problem with 20Hz knob to ~3:00 position. Very nice body to the bass now and feels right playing Haywyre songs, even if not the same bass quantity as my modded TH-X00PH. That's the thing with these, the music feels right and is smoothly presented - like an HD6XX with much more detail and clarity, but less bass output. Waiting on Koss to STAX adapter cable to come in for the used STAX SRM-323S Driver Unit I recently picked up from someone local.
Really loving the ESP950 so far: they are my work setup today with laptop -> Gustard X20U DAC -> Schiit Loki -> E90/ESP950:
Thanks! :)
