You look a bit like a basshead to me, so...lower the output volume from your EQ with -2.4dB, increase the 30Hz with +2.4dB and the 40Hz with +1.2dB and give it a listen.
K712 are neutral cans, it's not really to emphasize the bass, but a bit of punch is much more easy to achieve with DSP/EQ and much more cheaper than swapping a neutral amp with another one that sounds more bassy.
Also, iFi has DAC/headamp combo that have X-Bass included and you might want to read some reviews for their equipment too; this means built-in EQ, not very adjustable like a software EQ, but if it's per your liking then it might be better.

BTW, V5i are a bit on the bassy-side...have a search on this forum and see if someone else tested them. If can't find one...ping me and I'll see if I can try it out (I already have access to 2 identical PLAY unit, so I can do A/B test with different opamps installed in both units).

Couple of thumbs shouldn't bother anyone here, I hope. However, these are for T50RP-mk3, but the T60RP are a bit better in the low-end, so feel free to adjust the lowest octave per your liking.
Also, above 2KHz trust no one, just use your ears. I'm sensitive around 5-6KHz and I'm missing few dB around 8KHz, so...please use your ears and audiocheck.net or similar.

It has been about a month since I bought the new v2.3 PCB, I have the same issue with DC Barrel of previous power cords and there has been no response from Burson to address this issue.

I after a public post they will respond.

Btw, anybody compared Playmate with Play v2.3?

 

[raoultrifan]

@imran27 , I probably missed your initial post, what is the issue about, please?

The barrel on the power adapter of previous PCB versions I have (v1.6, v2.1) does nt fit on the v2.3

If I remember well someone had same issue posted in the thread and they answered that they will send him another power brick to fit it. See pages 62-65.
Seems that few boards got a different connector, not all.

How far would you have to turn the knob for listenable volume?

 

[raoultrifan]

For T50RPmk3 and HE-560 I get between 40-60%, depending on the recording of the input tracks. For normal sensitivity dynamic headphones the volume is somewhere between 25-40%.

Between 15 and 25.

 

[Eiffel]

In my case - around 4-6 only.
Same value for 24 ohms cans but also the 250 ohms DT1990 Pro...

Has anyone received a Playmate?

 

[Fasterball]

I just received shipping tracking but I imagine it will be another couple of weeks for me.

Just put up my review of the Burson Play Basic "Kicking $299 Audio Expectations to the Curb" - https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/burson-audio-play.22702/reviews

I guess from the title, you can see my opinion. I have played with a number of low-cost options as I worked myself up in audiophile sound and have never heard this kind of performance at this price. It is replacing my Hugo 2 in my desktop audio chain so that my Hugo 2 is ready for mobile use without the both of having to tear down and reassemble. I am not going to miss it as the SQ difference is only slight. That is saying a lot given the price difference. Regardless, my review covers the pairing of my HP and CIEM collection to give you an idea of what it offers high-end equipment. The short of it is that the neutral signature plays well with all and offers max performance from each. As a bonus, I check what happens when running a higher end Eddie Current ZDs t;ube amp with the 9018 dac implementation and it was stellar. Let me know what you think of the review.

Went through the same thought when I sold my Hugo because I don’t really need a mobile dac and the difference in SQ doesn’t justify the price.

Now it's on sale at $249, basic ver. only. However, best price/performance on planet for a Class-A 2x2 watts amplifier with DAC inside.
