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

The HE-6 is a legend in the headphone world. It competed with the HD-800, LCD-3 and other reference cans, and in many people's opinion was best of the best. The discussions regarding how to get the best out of the HE-6 (being notoriously hard to amplify and with an abundance of possible modifications) go on to this day. This is despite it not being manufactured for some time. The HE-6 successor (HE-1000) has not developed anything near the cult following.
I for one would be really keen to see the HE-6 (or other high-end HiFiMAN planars) get the Massdrop treatment. If anyone agrees, let me know!
