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

A value of 1.5 indicates that it has a lot of headroom left, which is really good to know.
That being said, if someone with a more powerful amp could confirm that there's no clipping of dynamics and harmonics (or that the difference is indistinguishable), that would stop me from wondering whether I should join the Objective 2 amp drop or not. :)
In the meantime, I'm content with my Fiio. As I said, I don't have any better points of reference, but as it is, I don't feel it's lacking anything, compared to how it drives my Grado SR-80i or Beyer DT770 Pro 80 Ohm.
