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

Is that too low of a load? Would the SE output be more appropriate?
Too bad we cannot send PM in here...
- Is that really 4V P-P, or 4Vrms?
- Why is the SE output limited to the same value as the balanced/bridged one?
- With the 0.9A limit stated above, I would have thought the maximum voltage on a 12 ohm load would have been 9V
- What happens when the current limit is reached? Isn't the unit protected? Can it really be damaged?
Amir tested this in his ASR review, and managed to trigger the protection circuit on a 24 ohm load at 5.5W (more than 11V!) with unstable behavior after that: https://bit.ly/2SGTMWv So, is it safe to drive 12 ohms compression driver to full power with this device?...
