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 jumped in to this buy and also picked up:
(1) SMSL SD793 DAC/Amplifier (1) NVX Audio XPT100 headphones
I made these purchases after reading reviews and watching some on YouTube from hifi members.
My curiosity is now to confirm my plan of using optical out of my PC into the SMSL, RCA to Little Dot, then pass to headphones. Sound reasonable?
Is there a recommended cable brand I use for the RCAs?
Edit: Also check out head-fi if you want headphone/amp/dac advice. The headphone subreddit on Reddit is okay too, but I would say the crowd over at head-fi is far more experienced and more civilized for the most part.
