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

Notice the massive spike right in the middle of the bass frequency. Low power sources don't have enough oomph to power the bass and low midrange frequencies to their full potential like a pen external amp can, which is one of the reasons an amp can change the sound so much for the better.
EDIT: That said, I use my cell phone and iPad to play music with my headphones most of the time, and have stil been able to have a great experience. In reality, the reason I am looking for an amp is for my computer to replace its slightly sub-par onboard audio. For my speakers, it works great, but headphones leave something to be desired.
