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

I have tried it with my own - objective2 - Pioneer XDP 300R - Chord Mojo - iPod video/classic/nano/shuffle etc - Sansa clip zip - Cayin N3 - xduoo x2 - iPhone 3G / LG V20
but then again, this is coming from someone that listens to Etymotic ER4B / ER4S pretty much permanently. I am very used to the neutral/clinical sounding + transparent and excellent instrument separation from Etymotic
IMO a better compromise between clarity + bass + nice mids would be something like a Magaosi K3 pro (it has Knowles TWFK BA which provides the nice detailed highs - but not fatiguing, and it has a dynamic driver for the low-mids and bass)
but IMO there are better earphones out there in the market that combines better value + decent soundstage + nice mids with much better detail retrieval.
