High-performance headphones prefer a quality portable headphone player or headphone amplifier for best results. A cell phone will not play to satisfying levels nor quality.
For Diana MR we highly recommend using mating gear from this growing list:
Portable: Woo Audio Tube mini USB DAC/AMP, Woo Audio WA8 AMP/DAC
Desktop: HeadAmp GS-X mini amp, XIAUDIO K DAC, XIAUDIO Broadway Balanced amp, Woo Audio WA23 tube amp, Woo Audio WA33 tube amp
