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 do like the ESP950 very much, but the STAX L300 is the electrostatic I LOVE (even though the ergonomics are not anywhere as great as the ESP950)! The L300 (EQ'd) have the absolute best bass I've ever heard, more impressive than a TH-X00PH (even if it doesn't have the output level - the speed, punch, and bass dynamics are PHENOMINAL!) Even with the phenominal bass, the L300 are very balanced in sound though... so their mids are as impressive as are the highs. For a quick analogy, the ESP950 vs L300 is like Sennheiser HD6XX vs modded Fostex TH-X00PH - much more forward and dynamic sounding than the ESP950. Should post up my new Estat setup soon... its been changed up quite a bit.
