I find that interesting considering that I've read many opinions that state Audeze products and Burson products are a great pairing!
Also, I find that the treble on the HD 800S is near perfect. I find the problem I'm having with the LCD-2C is that the lower treble seems a bit too accentuated and THEN it drops off considerably.
I'm probably turning the volume too high, but I'm doing so because I want to feel the bass impact and body. <----- this is probably it now that I think about it.

I found the LCD2C rather shouty in the mids, not in the treble (on the contrary).
The amp/dac may be the culpritt. The amp quality and juice can have an impact on the low end which can make the mids prominent and shouty.
I use a audio-gd he9, its wonderful but it's expensive.
The LCD2C works best with some power. I drive it well with my tube amps Little Dot MKVI+ and La Figaro 339, but I did find the Massdrop x Cavalli Liquid Carbon X drove it well for little cost. I am about to grab an Aune X7S that would have power to drive as well, on a budget.
At lower volumes the LCD-2C is SO relaxing, but then the bass impact takes a nasty hit.
I also find that this headphone has a very enveloping sound-stage, but it does lack height. It feels somewhat flat, but for some reason I sometimes prefer it over the HD 800S.
The LCD-2C is very source dependent. It scales very well, but it needs powerful and very clean source to shine.
1-4W output power is recommended by Audeze. I have got just under 2W. They definitely need power for clarity and tightness.
I am running them in balanced mode through a Questyle CMA600i replacing the 600i's DAC with a Chord 2Qute. This extremely clean and transparent source lifts the 2C to another level compared to Mojo only.
I am just testing and reviewing the IFI iPurifier 3.0 and I am also using an AQ Jitterbug. Have to say, using these two signal cleaning devices sound almost like I have upgraded my DAC.
There is always higher in this hobby, but you don't necessarily have to spend a fortune for your next upgrade.
Anyway, give the 2C clean power to hear them shine. And stop complaining about the sound if you can't give them the food they deserve.
