I have the following headphone setup that I use exclusively with my computer:
Terratec DMX 6fire card > homemade silver braid mini-mini IC > Headsave Transit META42 amp > Cardas cable > HD580s
My problem is lackluster bass in general. I listen to lossless FLAC files with foobar2000, and I don't get very good bass. I have tried using the equalizer in f2k, and it can improve bass output tremendously, but it just distorts things and makes the overall quality a lot worse.
I also watch DVDs with PowerDVD (using the Dolby Surround Headphone setting), and while I do hear more bass than when listening to music, it is still not as good as I'd like. This could be a separate issue, however; it could be related to the Dolby Headphone setting or other audio settings in PDVD.
So, my question is whether or not this could be an equipment thing. I don't really have any other equipment to swap out to test, like other phones or cables, etc. I have had this Headsave Transit amp for about 6 months, but I kept telling myself that it would get better as it got more hours of use. Well, it hasn't. I would like to know where to start to try fixing this. I have heard my HD580s on a completely different MGHead rig with a CD source, and they sounded a lot better than they do with my system.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have.
