Hey guys,
Question, Im thinking of getting AKG 550  but i'll only be using my phone as a source.
Will the sound quality be affected at all?

Yes, mainly the treble will sound like 'pecah' and bass will be light. That was from iPhone 4 and BlackBerry Z10.

Just a cheap amp will do maybe a FiiO E6, it needs some extra juice to run. No need DAC if you're planning to use outdoors because most of the resolution will be lost in the ambient noise like driving cars and other people's voice. If you plug into music players however sounds a bit better. IPod nano sounds ok, a bit better than the phones I tried with.

But as always, your mileage may vary. Test first before buying anything. Can try visiting jaben or Starspickers.
