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

They are over ear. Has a removable cable (package includes 2 cables) and you can also replace the earpads. Impedance is 47 ohms, so no need to worry about adding a headphone amp. They are closed back and their price is exactly $99 in Amazon right now!

Now if you'd be able to stretch your budget a little bit, you could get the ATH-M50x which are currently discounted at $139. This is a pair of headphones that I've owned in the past so can talk about it, unlike the M40x. But all in all either option would make a really nice gift without breaking the bank and still sound much better than most headphones around their price.
