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

I'll probably do something like this with my LSR30X once they arrive.
The most effective way that I've found to use these Raspberry Pi based streamers is to, instead, flash the microSD card with DietPi and install Roon Bridge. They then become a Roon output/zone. Roon provides a much nicer interface, advanced DSP options, and better sound quality. Of course, this requires a 2nd PC (eg., Intel NUC) that's running Roon Server and attached to the same local area network as your Raspberry Pi(s). Once you have set up two or three of these zones, the power and flexibility of a centralized server starts to make sense. Think of it as "Plex for hi-fi audio" if you like.
Hope this helps.
