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

For me, personally, I don't want to take anything too expensive in to work in case it winds up disappearing. It _shouldn't_ happen, but that doesn't mean it won't. In fact, a few weeks back our office was robbed and a lot of people complained about their headphones being missing afterwards. Mine were still there, so I was lucky in that regard.
The office also has white-noise generators, my desk is right under the ventilation, and we have an "open floor plan" so all of my co-workers are right around me. So I can't really go with open-backed headphones/ headset at work or I would be potentially disturbing others (or otherwise having to deal with additional noise).
At home is completely different in that I can control most of that. I don't have a ton of noisy people around me, so I can go open-backed if I want and I don't have to worry about disturbing others either.
