hello

Cayin i5 HEAVY DISTORTION when BASS is high on the EQ

I have purchased a Cayin i5, now ive had it for a week now, used it for a few hours, do i have to burn in to get better sound?

My issue is when i increase the bass via the EQ (last 2 on the left) on the i5 I get heavy distortion.

I read the reviews before purchase and it stated that the device has strong booming bass

The mids and highs are nice and the sound stage is wide, however the bass is very disappointing, if I increase it more than 30% then the distortion kicks in and its horrible, i wanted to email Cayin support but its in chinese, support

Im using 80ohm fostex tr90s HD650 and beyers Amirons

they are all high impedance cans but something like the Cayin should not distort on increased bass

Im thinking to buy low impedance headphones now, ive already purchased the C5 amp and had to use the bass on the amp, but I shouldnt need a amp on the i5

Is it faulty?

What do I do to get nicer sound in the lows dept, my cheap sony A35 has better bass, my ibasso DX80 does not distort on full bass, what am i to do to correct the problem?
