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 am currently using an Audioengine D1 all-in-one Amp/DAC. Would this be an upgrade? I am new to the audiophile community and still have a lot to learn! Would it be recommended to connect this tube amp to my DAC via RCA cable and would this set up be better than the Audioengine D1 by itself?
As for sound quality, it left me with a very good impression. Instruments sound rich and full-bodied. I find that voice and piano benefit from it the most. Acoustic and classical guitars also sound more present. Although I haven't compared the two op-amps actively, I am convinced that reverting to the original op-amp would make me appreciate the Burson even more.
It's definitely worth the investment: you do get a lifetime warranty on the op-amp, so you can always recycle it when you upgrade your gear.
And thanks for the tip! I'll keep an eye on the Jitterbug and the replacement cable for the HD6XX.
If you purchase your V5i from Burson Audio, keep in mind that you need one (1) dual SS V5i. The people from Burson Audio are really nice. I think it is actually cheaper to order it directly from their website.
Thanks for the info. I just ordered the Jitterbug from Amazon. I will try it out!
