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

The amp is clean and has ample power for my HD650s.
But, I have the X6 and also recently picked up the Fiio Q1 Mark II, and I can hear a difference in the DAC quality. The Q1 sounds cleaner somehow? I believe the Q1 uses a DAC chip from the same family as the M6, so you may indeed get better sound out of a better dac than the X6.
Though, of course, sound quality is subjective and your milage may very. But i will the difference to me was noticeable with the HE350s stock even. So with the 6XXs you'll probably notice more of a difference.
