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

One previous commenter thought the finish on the metal had been scraped off, when in reality it is just textured and shiny, catching a bright highlight (see second photo).
How do they sound to you?
In a perfect world, I'd use an equalizer (like maybe the Schiit Loki) to bring down the mid-bass a touch and bump up the mids & table a hair. But I'm used to listening to the AKG K553, which is a much different animal. Maybe I'll try the suede ZMF headphone pads to get that effect.
Thanks for the heads up, @A_Typical_Drop!

Whether it made a difference or not though, it's not something that should have got through a really simple QC check. The picture that showed up here with the really crooked gimbal mount also had the paper issue, and was one of these newer clear wire versions. It seems like QC flew out the window for whatever batch those are coming out of.
