I agree.

I do consider the D7k very slightly on the warm side of neutral. They reproduce a very accurate high-end, so in that way they are less 'warm' than the Senn HD-600 / 650.
Their 'fullness' comes from a slight bump in the upper bass, which (to my ears) 'rounds' out the sound and gives it sonority.
The warmth of the D7k is just semantics and a matter of degrees. They ARE slightly warm, but not warm... unless you compare them to something very cool and sterile (K701's anyone?). Even the DT-880/600 Ohm make the D7k seem warm. But taken on their own, they are very naturalistic and acoustic... to my ears.

I don't know if its power (because even my iPhone drove my D7000s very well). Likely damping factor methinks as the WA3 is an OTL amp with high output impedance and the D7000s are only 25ohms.

I've driven the 7000s with iPhone and Android phones before no problem but sonically they sound better through either my dedicated amp/dac or my AV receiver
It's not a huge difference but it's definitely there. That's the beauty of these headphones is they are easy to drive. My HD600s...need either the AV receiver or amp/dac or they just don't sound as "full"
I have to disagree with you it's a huge difference imo.
