100+ Head-Fier
I'd say perhaps get a different H/P amplifier/DAC (or subscribe to Roon for streaming, it has excellent DSP) and then decide again. I use the DT 700 Pro X with a Mojo 2, MB Pro 14", Tidal and Quobuz HR services and Roon. No excess bass whatsoever and well extended, integrated treble.I feel really stupid now but I already had DT700 ready to be returned but didnt have time to send them yet. Tiny voice in my head told me to give them one more try... right now I am listening to them on Xonar Essence and it seems like they finally clicked with me. I am runing them on extra high gain (300-600 ohm headphones, but it works best on 32 ohm DT880 too) with just 6% volume. Oh boy this vocals are so addictive..
Going back to laptop and yuck, its not as bad as before but it definitely lost fidelity... so even if they are rather easy to play loud, instrument separation and energy is really audible with amp..
I dont know what to do now. Maybe I will just keep both /dt770 at work and dt700 at home/. Or maybe I would like DT900 even better /I dont need isolation at home/ and if it give them sligthly more space and treble it would be best...
Imho the 700 Pro X easily holds its own with Sennheiser 6series and/or the lower Hifiman's (Sundara in my case).
