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 thought that "M" albums would be so much better so whenever available I replaced my non "M" albums with their Master version. However, most of them sound boring and much more lifeless than their non "M" version. The sound on the M albums to me is like I am playing a CD and then I switch to the regular ones and its like I am playing a vinyl; full of life, better highs,... just much more fun to listen to.
I know that my Chord is not MQA enable but for a while I had a Mytek Liberty which is MQA enable. I tried it for a few weeks and after not being able to notice a better sound on the M albums vs the regular ones.... I ended up returning the Mytek and buying the Chord.
Does anyone have a similar opinion on the MQA albums in Tidal or is it my setup and / or my ears which are unable to take advantage of the supposed better sound quality of the Master albums?
Thanks for your feedback.
