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

Oh, this one has a plastic platter. The job of the platter is to have enough mass to smooth out any vibrations or variances in speed. A decent turntable will have a platter made of aluminum, a big chunk of MDF or acrylic, or something else that's heavy and solid. A turntable with a plastic platter is a toy.
Massdrop does have some fine turntables available from time to time, but this one is isn't. The frequency response of the speakers are 80 Hz and up, so they're pretty horrible as well. They barely cover the male vocal range, let alone bass guitars and that sweet 808 bass.
EDIT: Further evidence to avoid this drop: This turntable is on the /r/vinyl "List of Turntables to Avoid" wiki page, over on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/vinyl/comments/5bh435/list_of_turntables_to_avoid_and_the_reasons_why/
