I thought the THX 789 is advertised as being relatively colorless. Do people find it bright because they have bright sounding DACs or does the 789 make warm DACs sound bright? I would be really happy if the 789 is as close to colorless as possible. That way, you just need to worry about the signature of the DAC.
I'm a portable guy so all I have for DACs are Sony PHA-3, Chord Mojo, and Centrance BlueDAC. So far I've only tried the PHA-3 and Mojo with the 789 and I have to say I like the PHA-3 pairing better. The Mojo pairing, as someone else in this thread also suggested, has a pretty anemic bass and I agree with that.
