Somebody wrote aomething about controlling the bass of these creatures, I also have tried lots of different amps with the DX and the solution for me was to go balanced, It tightenseverything up and gives the bas a greater firmness..

Why would you want to control the bass? It's awesome and has such a lifelike impact and feel.

I am not talking about removing bass, I talk about Control..
The bass in DX can sound a bit soft in the edges, control makes those edges sharp and amkes the bass more chrispy..

I've been using my Zana Deux amp with these for years and it gives them a very tight and controlled bass, much more so than other amp.

Violectric is fuller and brassier, drives with authority.  Zana Deux is more detailed with more soundstage and controlled bass, more dynamic but in ways a thinner sound.  Trade offs, depend on mood.

Thank you. the zana deux seems like my beta.surprising

These cans are so awesome. I love the soundstage a lifelike timbre, especially drums. Kinda sad though cos theyve made my D5000's redundant and in comparison sound lower quality and the treble sounds a bit artificial.

May ask here as well. Has any of you DX 1000 lovers ever found a headphone that gives a wider and deeper soundstage that is closed? It has to be closed and don´t leak much sound. It´s a huge plus if it isolate as well but it really can´t leak like an LCD-2 monster or something.
 
I have the CD 3000 which is quite different but also do this quite well but if I would trade in my LCD-2s for something I could actually use. I am more in the DX 1000/LCD-2 camp then CD 3000/k701/HD800.

I have found a new or at least another love, STAX sr007, but it is very very open

I am in the DX1000/HD800/W3000anv camp. 

 
Never liked the K701 at all(ear piercers) and the LCD's sound sort of disjointed to me.

The W3000anv is more detailed and refined with less boomy bass, a little less soundstage but more layered with better instrument separation than the DX1000.  I still love the DX1000 but the W3000anv gets way more time these days.  I have never heard the W1000x and could report comparisons but you can read those elsewhere in that it is not from my own listening.

Same here. I call the W3000ANV the HD800 of the closed headphones due to its big soundstage.
I used to own the DX1000 and D7000 but after the W3000ANV arrived they did not get much head time so I sold them both.
