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 know from past experience that Massdrop and head-fi have a pretty close relationship, but it would be very nice if we can get some more details of stuff you're selling on the drop page (rather than hunting for reviews). I've personally always really enjoyed the information I get on goldenears, and I typically use that as a reference (when possible, and I don't mind the terrible Google translate of the Korean site). I typically won't buy headphones unless I have some idea that I'll like the sound profile. I find many reviews too subjective and typically contain comparisons of products that I'm unfamiliar with. Without the sort of detail I'm really looking for, I'm lead to shrugging and thinking I don't to burn a few hundred dollars on a gamble . For those not familiar with goldenears here is an example from when they were still porting content from the Korean site to the English site:

What do you guys think about getting some more data on these drops?
Thanks for reading!
