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

These headphones aren't the most comfortable and their treble is just a little to much. You can get more comfortable and better balanced cans for the same amount or even cheaper.
I was able to get past the treble by adding a thin layer of toilet paper in the pads. That brought down the highs to an acceptable level. For comfort, I can't quite say what to do there. I don't have a lot of money, so pad hunting isn't a priority. I've heard that the angled Brainwavs pads do a good bit on comfort and even sound.
ryan explains things more in depth, but this is coming from someone who is just starting out in the "audiophile" headphone world.
Look elsewhere, they suck. Lo-fi dynamics. I very much doubt HiFiMan even makes them.
