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

The 6XXs definitely do benefit when they're plugged into an AMP, but that shouldn't throw you off buying them. You can drive them straight out of your phone or desktop/laptop, and they will still sound better than what you have now. You should consider getting them now, and purchasing an AMP later on instead of the opposite.
Would this be a similar scenario if I plugged them into the headphone jack in my phono receiver? It's a very basic yamaha av receiver, currently piping a turntable into floor speakers.
