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

Here is the link to the UNP CONSOLE CABLE - https://en-us.sennheiser.com/accessories--unp-console-cable--game-one--game-zero?gclid=CN259NT8v9ECFY09gQodrqYF6w
PCV 05 ( which is posted on the description page ) - https://en-us.sennheiser.com/pcv-05
I am kind of old school and use this too for my mac's since it seems to give me great mic feedback which the PCV 05 or UNP cables do not give this feature. - Turtle Beach Audio Advantage Amigo II USB Sound Card & Headset Adapter - https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Beach-Advantage-Headset-Adapter/dp/B0036VO4XO
I guess to answer your question in short ( maybe, lol ). I believe the PC37X are a better value than the Cloud II's.
Reasons: PC37X has a detachable cable. You are able to use either the UNP PC Cable ( Included ) or the UNP Console Cable PC37X Has a beautifully designed Mic that is superior to the Cloud II Mic. PC37X's Mic is easily muted by flipping it up out of the way like the Astro a50's PC37X have a Semi open back which is better for multiplayer gaming. PC37X is based on the old hd555/595 headphones if they have the same drive as the PC 363D
You are tempting me with these now. I am from the UK, so hopefully import duty isn't too excessive. If that is the case I have also contemplated getting the AKG k612pro, and a modmic, for the same price as these delivered.
Still quite unsure which to go for yet.
Edit: Just to add I am on xbox one.
Also, The AKG k612pro's do not have a detachable cable. This is why I keep going back to them. lol I am kind of a freak when it comes to cables. I love wired vs bluetooth or wireless. But if I have wires. I want it to be neat. Now other may don't care.
I think either would be a great fit but, for me, I live the convenience of already having the Sennheiser mic.
You've really got me thinking now. If these can be shipped to the UK for less than £130 incl import fees, then I'll probably bite!
