Thanks, musicman. Your.- and everyone else's - answers are always highly appreciated. Still a long way to go, but I can see myself having a very Merry Christmas!
Anyone have a chance to compare the Wells Audio Milo Headphone Amplifier with the Vioelectric V281 or Macintosh MHA 100?I don't think you'll regret the MHA100 one bit. The HEK is great.. I think it will make for a very musical experience.

I owned the Headtrip and the MHA100 - not at the same time. Personally I enjoyed the sound of the MHA100 a lot more. It had a warmer tone to it, a lot more options/features including bass boost and other fun things. Headtrip is no slouch for sure, but MHA100 gets my vote, with no doubt.
I'd start with the manual. Can be downloaded too.
Push-in the inner left nob. If you don't immediately see bass boost, turn the left outer nob to the left until you do. You'll be passing by all the other features you have. I like to use the preamp too. If I am using 60 to 70 and definitely if higher on the volume control, I'll turn the preamp up to +3db to +4.5db.
Thanks, yes I figured out this setting as well as you mentioned.
But when I playing around and increased the bass to upper levels it decreases the clarity of mid range, I don't know if you faced like that before.
Yup yup yup! It grabs the HE-1000 by the virtual balls and makes everything, especially the deepest bass, do exactly what the signal demands with the utmost attack and slam.
Which honestly, I don't understand. The drivers have negligible mass; a nanotech film and conductor. I thought it was a heavy cone that had a mind of its own after an impulse that needed the control the high damping factor an amp like this provides. Obviously, I'm missing something.
P.s. I started using an external dac so don't experience what you described anymore. That implies I did see it a few times. But not often, and if demanded to recreate it I could not.
