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

All those who have already purchased and would like to add the cable can do so from their transaction page.
Thanks for your interest in this drop and feel free to respond to this post with your questions, I'll be checking back over the weekend and early next week.
Both good. By the end of the day, you won't notice such a different between those.. but it's nice to have a silver one ass well.
I've heard $20k cables and $2 cables, there's no difference in the sound and to the best of my knowledge, no credible reviewers support the cable argument at this point.
The only time a reasonable argument could be made is if you live in an area with massive electromagnetic interference and you need the $20 cable (over the $2 cable) because it has extra shielding. Examples would be, you live in a cell tower (tree house style) or between two giant electromagnets.
For the optional cable ($15), will these refinement be included?
Extract from Description page: When developing the Pinnacle PX, we worked with MEE Audio to make a number of changes with the wearer’s comfort and the IEM’s longevity in mind. The 3.5-millimeter plug and internal MMCX connector design were updated for better durability, and a bit of clear heatshrink tubing was added to the MMCX connectors for improved strain relief. Plus, the compound for the cable sheath was reformulated for additional resistance to sweat and oils from the skin.
Concerning the sound, people share different opinions. If you read some forums on hed-fi where the influence of cables is discussed, there are those who notice the difference of p1 sound, especially with the silver cable connecting with balance. OFC it depends on the person's ear, whether he will hear the difference or no. Even though comparing earphones between 50$ and 300$ most of the crowd don't get seriously a price politics.
You're right that maybe there won't be a difference, but I would be pleased to have a durable, magnificent one.
