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 could go with the Aune X1s, which is currently dropping here but ends in two days. I read about the K7XX being sensitive to and bringing noticeable difference with quality amps, which hopefully with the Aune X1s will be for the better. If anyone is using these two as a pair, I would love to hear your thoughts.
I could also go with another pair of opens, which will be me waiting for the Sennheisers to either drop here or have a sale in local stores. I want them to be different from K7XX, so that I can taste something different. HD58X was my top pick, before I noticed they don't ship to my place, so maybe the HD6XX or just straight HD660s in stores when they are on sale? ;w;
I could also go with a pair of closed, to directly replace my M30x. I'll be using them in house as well as during commute, in libraries and public study rooms, so isolation and comfort will need to be good. I am currently looking at the beyerdynamics pairs dropping, but I am open to suggestions, wired or wireless, ANC or not.
I am quite unsure on what I should do next, and the option of just saving up is honestly quite tempting when the choice is hard. I am satisfied with my K7XX, they offer supreme comfort, great sound when listening to orchestral music and good gaming directional cues, but I am looking to shake things up a bit. Any suggestions?
