Thanks everyone.
I've ran these in balanced mode on my Opus 1s, it sounds slightly better but not much (not powerful enough I'm assuming like before). I've also ran in it low gain since I noticed the high gain on the Opus can bring out the brightness with these headphones along with the high gain on the XDUOO.
I think my setup is something I just need to change and upgrade. It works great with my Phillips x2/27s. Doing an a/b test last night with the headphones I saw no need for the Elex's. They were a bit better in a few things but not worth the price tag at all. Either way I don't think I'll be keeping these. I'll do more research or wait to see what I can find. I'm still looking for a really nice portable setup so maybe I need to wait and see if I can find the Ifi micro black edition for a decent price for a portable amp.
While I'm not a basshead, the music that I do listen too like EDM does demand that bass at a bit louder volumes cause its more exciting type music.
I think I'm going to be listing my setup today for sale, look into something else that fits my needs. I just wish someone had a headphone test out service you can pay a certain amount for to test out all types of headphones and return them to see what you like. Its getting costly to keep on buying/selling/losing money on all this..really sucks.
