Can anyone with experience with the 05 DT770s connected to the Zero without a dedicated amp comment on this?

I heard some people had good experiences with this setup but it's not happening for me. I've gotten the suggestion to pick up a dedicated amp but I'm skeptical at the moment but I'm willing to try it out.

I'm seriously considering selling these, but as my first real set of cans, I'd feel terrible for ending my hifi experience this early but I think I'd be happier finding something more fitting.

Anyways, any suggestions or comments would be very much appreciated. I'd really like to find that 'thundering' bass everyone's talking about
The Zero happily drives my 600ohm Senns. You may find that particular models of opamp give you a greater sense of bass depth, but I do suspect it would be trying to cure an inherent design characteristic of the cans themselves, rather than the DAC/amp itself.

Black Stax SRS-4040II rig - awesome! Loving it! Certainly worth most of the extortionate amount of pennies it cost. ;-)

Compass DAC by Audio-GD - very, very nicely made with a lovely sound. First UK owner?
