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

The Koss 'Porta Pro' will not only go toe-to-toe with anything near (and way above its price) but will also shame most with its excellent, linear (i.e. accurate) frequency response, low distortion and excellent detail retrieval. The sound is "clean", accurate, even and possessed of some astonishing music making capability. A GREAT headphone. Remarkably, you also get a great fitting can -one that simply doesn't move as your head is bobbing this way and that -they remain stationary (on your head) and very, very, comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. There is not one single thing I do not like (is not lovable) about this great product. And I am ridiculously (notoriously) critical.
It's as if your stealing them at under $100. At $37.99, we really should feel guilty -and purchase a few pair. Every one who receives one (say -as a stocking stuffer), will love you. Forever ! lol (And get this, a Lifetime Warranty -as has always been the case -since I can recall- that in all fairness should be the price of the warranty itself. Koss (the company) are really short-changing themselves by a long, wide margin. It should be (fairly) priced at $100-$125.
Very highly recommended.
