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

TIP: Hook up the external power supply to the A2 before plugging it into the wall. I did the opposite and the spark was unsettling.
I'm using it to drive a pair of Infinity RS-3 BLK loudspeakers. Don't hurt yourself looking for information on these vintage babies. They are ported 2-way, 8 ohm bookshelves, with one each 6.5" woofer and 1" soft dome tweeter. I originally bought these 15 years ago, but my wife deemed them too large for the rear channels in my old home theater 5.1 setup (all but the sub were Infinity RS series, 3 different models). The RS-2's that replaced them were deemed a better size for the decor. So, the RS-3's were out of their box for about an hour back in 2001 before going back in, getting sealed up, and then stored for 15 years. They look and sound as good as new. The power rating is 15-100W and the A2 has no trouble driving them to louder than needed levels in my home office space.
Now I just need the SMSL M6 to arrive and flesh out the setup.
