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

All the HiFiMan headphones I've owned where much better (HE-400, HE-400i, HE-500 even the HE-350 I'd prefer over the M560). The M560 are only one of two pair of headphones I've ever ended up returning before my two week window was up.
Bass was lacking, and the vocals nice but harsh. Clamp was also too light and they would fall off too easily you lean forward or back more than a little.
Zreviews has a sound test up on his channel as well people can judge for themselves.
I've had or still have all those headphone you mentioned and liked them all better. Even the M50X which I wasn't of fan of and they are the other headphone I sent back.
I saw two video reviews that where positive, Z and DMS3, but after getting them I was very disappointed. I them checked the forums and found many other felt the same (wish I check sooner).
I know different people have different taste, but I find it hard to believe people like what I heard. Others have mentioned lean bass too. So either we have vastly different taste and ideas of what bass is or there is a consistency problem with the M560.
I don't know what to say. I just wanted to give a different perspective as my experience was different.
I don't found the sound comparisons useful because I'm listening the output of the headphone Z is sampling through my headphones, so it going to sound like what my headphone make his headphones sound.
I may one day order a new pare and see they are better than my first pair. Not that I really need anymore headphone.
That's my experience.
