I had a Neko Audio D100Mk2 and the HPA21 + TH900 combo. Way too much bass. The bass was nice but I didn't have enough treble or midrange. Changed DAC to Audio GD NFB-2. Much better. Still a bit too bassy. I ended up giving up. Sold TH900 and HPA21. Apparently the Eximus DP1 would have been a great DAC to try with it.
Considering trying again. I now have Audio GD Reference 7 coming and might try recabling a TH900 with Hybrid OCC Copper and Silver Litz. Will try it with HPA01.
If so, the Luxman P1u will definitely fits you better as it controls the bass of TH900 extremely well and with transparent mid and treble and glorious sound signature.
Wish someone can compare the HDA-5210MK3 with the HPA-21. If the 5210 are not that bass heavy I will go with the 5210 instead of P1u. (As TH900 is my only at-home-headphone)
