That would be the most polarizing opinion I ever heard. There is no way Expanse deliver bigger bass than Elite in any conditions.That is an oxymoron.
Expanse has more Bass than Elite (objective proof in measurements, this is no opinion)
it can't have less bass than the Heddphone V2 while the Elite has more.
Edit: Ok, unless you run a frequency sweep at specifically 40hz or less, then Expanse will have more bass. However when you test on a proper song that have complete frequency (Bass-Mid-Treble), that ain't gonna happen due to the much higher frequency response in Upper mid / Low Treble area in Expanse (while human's ear designed to be the most sensitive at 2000-5000hz)
If I have to explain a bit more detail, with Safri Duo - Samb Adagio (From Dali CD Test 2), in the several first second there is Low Bass notes, then followed with the full Bass performance (Midbass).Elite has even bigger bass than Caldera. Caldera has more bass than Hedd V2. DCA Expanse has less bass than Hedd V2.
Correct, Hedd V2 is more as revealing character, Elite is more forgiving and mellow.
In the first few seconds, Expanse deliver stronger sub bass presence, but when midbass came, Hedd V2 deliver bigger bass quantity (midbass).
yesIs Caldera more mellow than Hedd V2?
