Guys, i fixed my o2. Although i do like the increase in soundstage size/accuracy, it increases the highs to be a bit uncomfortable. Not sure if i prefer it straight from the iphone or the amp. Can't wait till i can save up for the hp-a8 though

The JDS labs element is my quasi portable I sometimes use with the th-900 and it seems to do pretty well. It uses the o2 dac. I don't remember if o2 has a line out but perhaps you could change the sig up a little bit with a cheapish amplifier to tide you over.
 
I might suggest the little dot I+ if you want some warmth in there. I've had some good times with ld amps.

Well, call it B-S....but however, after about 3 weeks...roughly 200 hours or so (occasionally using it and burning it over night), and TH900 really changed ? Sub-bass is with more blooms, and the trebles extensions are better revealing but smoothed down ? Dang it ... Lol magical happened at 200 hours mark ....

Unbelievable ! The first headphones ever that I needed couple hundred hours to hear changes...and I am the type of people that listen during break-in...wow! Definitely work.

unbelievable!

unbelievable!

Yeah, typically they started to show changes about 50 hours mark or so, and even ZX2 as a DAP showed changes in every 3-5 hours out of the box, and no longer changes after 250 hours....crazy how a headphones needs so much time before showing changes lol

Found out the cord i was using for line out with my o2 was bad. Switching to another cord helped bring up details as well as increase soundstage size and accuracy, without bringing up the highs nearly as much. Now i prefer the o2 to the iphone for sure.

Also, noticed that the bass has been a bit strange for me. One song its impact is insane and there is alot of presence and the next it seems almost anemic. Not sure if it is me, the music, burn in, or the sound sig but it is a bit wierd. Regardless of quantity though, the sub bass is amazing. Maybe i'm over speculating out of love

 Sounds like recording / production values differ between tunes, could explain bass differentials.

bass quantity and impact varies with different recordings as it should. it's nothing to be concerned about.
