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 would have been less jaded if I had truly understood the implication of that super-long, non removable cable that came with my un-modified pair. It was a pain and constantly became tangled (not in knots but like clockwise twist on cables). Additionally - the converter to be able to use AUX made the headphones a hassle and a drag (literally, even with the most light-weight converter, it consistently was an annoyance due to weight and came unplugged).
that all being said I actually own 2 pairs, one with the ultra dark ebony, and one with a slightly browner Ebony (the modified pair) lol. I guess I’m just a supporter - but one that wishes he had the ability to purchase the TR-X00 [FOMO].
I used MMCX connector which does not require drilling or making space. Totally reversible.
And no change to sound at all!!
After the mod it was like... it was supposed to be.
After making some custom cables myself though, the price really depends on how much sleeving was put into making the cable, which equals effort expended. I've seen people sell cables with raw mogami to a y split with the 2 ends covered in paracord (total 10 minutes to make) for 60 dollars. 60 dollars would be fair if the lower portion of the cable was split and braided because that actually takes time.
That being said I want to make a few custom cables for people at affordable pricing because I enjoy it and I just listen to music while doing so. Anyone interested can hit me up, lol....
By the way.... I am eyeing on 1more triple driver overear headphones.... when am I going to stop!!!.???!!!
