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

Please note that though I like full-bodied sound I wouldn't exactly call myself a basshead (I was happy with the Shure SE530 sound) so I'm not screaming for MOAR BASS here, but I think it needs to step forward more.
Granted, my ears are now used to 'phones with metal casings but I don't think that alone would account for the effect I'm describing.
Maybe it is phasing, that hadn't occurred to me before.
Sorry if I came across as bashing, I was just feeling a bit concerned.
Which cable are you using? The braided or mic cable? Based on your comments I think you are using the braided cable and I would encourage to try the mic cable as it makes a difference especially on lower frequencies.
