Is short bass decay good or bad? I’m still learning the head-fi terminology.

It's good if you want to hear every bass note clearly delineated and not just a thick mush of bass with bass-heavy tracks.Is short bass decay good or bad? I’m still learning the head-fi terminology.
It's bad if you're a die-hard basshead and prefer bass quantity over quality.

Thanks for telling me about thisWill follow with interest. Still use my FW01 regularly, with fondness.

Kudos for making this happen!
Sub’ed!
Jude's graph seems easier to compare to Oxygen since both have been measured from the same rig and 90dBSPL at 1kHz.
Moondrop A8 and Oxygen versus JVC FD1X (unmodded):
If FD1X goes deeper at sub-bass and keep the punch and improves note-weight, wow, it'll be really really awesome to my taste.

Ok, my pre-release sample will ship back to Drop next week, so I’ve tried to condense my thoughts, as well as various questions I’ve been asked, into a brief Q&A on the FDX1:
