Bass light? You need to try the HD800 with the Dangerous Music Source and they will compete with TH900s in terms of bass. Yes, that's right I said TH900! Absolutely stunning combo! That amp/dac doesn't get mentioned around here very much and I'm amazed that it doesn't, but it will destroy many DACs/Amps I see recommended here. In fact it blows my Oppo HA-1 out of the water when it comes to powering the HD800. If people feel like bass is light on the HD800, they should give Dangerous Music Source a try. It is so good, I am selling the OPPO and keeping the DMS.
I wouldn't recommended for low impedance headphones, but for high impedance headphones DMS will power anything! In fact I never go above the 8+ o'clock position with HD800s on the DMS. It is that powerful and the bass is beautiful on the HD800.
No, I don't work for DMS, I'm just a hobbyist like everyone else here, and not trying to hijack the thread with a recommendation.
Back on the topic...from what I can see that looks beautiful and love the HD800 colors. I wish I could get mine colored.
Hey!
I don't find the HD800 bass-light, but many people do. That's my point.
The HD800 are pretty easy to drive.
If an amplifier makes the HD800 a bassy headphone then that's probably a quite coloured amplifier.
Even the T1 has more bass than HD800.
