Well after doing a load more research, I've decided to go for a pair of IMR R1. Fingers crossed they meet what I'm looking for, they look like excellent headphones.
I've just got these myself. Early days and a lot of experimentation to do, but with the default black filter in place I have never heard so much bass when connected directly to my Sony A45 DAP.
It feels as though the R1 has got as much bass unamped as the XB90 do when properly amped and the rest of the frequency range is much better too. I'll need to revisit my XB90/Cayin C5 combination to check and I guess I should have expected the rest of the frequencies to sound better given that the R1 is a £500 IEM at full price.
