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

That said, lack of APT-X is a huge deal breaker for this item (though the price obviously reflects it). Pretty much every piece of half-decent tech has that capability nowadays. For $15 more I would recommend considering the Ausdom M05 (these look as sound indistiguishable from MEE Air-Fi Matrix2)

Both the source and headphones must have aptX to make a difference with quality media. If one of the devices doesn't have it or I am listening to (sub)average material and/or just making phone calls...$40 B/T headphones will sound just as good as $400 pair. But that's from my limited experiences and lack of golden years. Others' mileage might vary.
For the record, my current B/T line up is Sony MDR XB950 B/T (home), Phiaton BT 220 NC (flying), and Ausdon M05 (gym).
