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 looked around some discussions and all of them have talked about the Dragonfly (Red or Black, I dont remember which one specifically) and the O2 amp with ODAC. Also some slight mentions of the magni/modi stack. However, I've never seen the two of them specifically in the same circles. I only saw people talking about O2 in one conversation, and the Dragonfly in another.
I'm by no means an audiophile (at least not yet). I bought the HD 6XX because I've only heard great things about it and that it's one of- if not the- best deals in the audiophile community. So, my question is, which of these 3 budget options would be best to power the HD 6XX?:
Dragonfly (Red or Black)
O2 amp with ODAC
Magni/Modi stack
or are all 3 of these equally decent for an Amp/Dac on a budget?
