What's your source? It could be a simple mis-match in sound signatures. Some iems and some daps don't gel well because they either over-emphasise the same parts of the sound signature or go the other way and cancel out each others strengths.
IMO in general Sony's tend to be warm, Astell and Kern neutral/analytic. Other brands range across warm/neutral axis with a focus on mids (Hiby and Cayin) bass/lower mids (Fiio) or upper mids/treble (ibasso). There'll always be variants within the range - eg the AK SR25 is quite warm.
