For my case, I have to use the σ25 because my USB port is a bit underpowered at about 4.5V but if I remember right, Ti measured lower noise floor with an external regulated PS.
Anyone thinks the Gamma-2 is way too bright? Every headphone I connect to it seems to have a good amount of bass loss
Or is it the way sound supposed to sound?

Thank both Shahrose and AMB. Severe bass roll off is exactly what I wanna to describe. And that compares to my headphones connect to iPhone, laptops etc... since I don't have any other DAC.
And yes, I'm talking about headphones connect directly to y2 output. However my Stax system connect via RCA L/R sounds ridiculously good with the y2

There's your problem. I've done that for a couple weeks just to try it out with the HD800/HD650 and I get the same results. Bass rolloff and loss of punch/dynamics, though it still sounds surprisingly good.
Corner Frequencies of the bass roll-off for (assuming default 22uF caps) for :
ATH-AD700 @ 32ohms: 226.07hz
ATH-CK7 @ 16ohms: 452.14hz
HD800/HD650 @ 300ohms: 24.11hz
Sillyhoney didn't just experience bass roll-off with the CK7's, they were experiencing mid-range roll-off
Haha midrange rolloff.
It's strange though, I definitely have less bass from 100hz down from the y2 output than I do from my amp.
