Yes, i known that you refer with less bass (to quantity and extension); well, as long as it doesn't has almost zero of that bass it's Ok for me, the most important is the upper bass, 'the quantity' of it or 'Volume' or better yet his strenght/slam. With maybe, you say that it (AD2000) has a more prominent upper bass than the DT990, but you are not sure...?. It be ideal, because i have a huge interest in this headphone (and spectations) because his characteristics (it can be the ideal headphone for me) for the music that i like most (complex and fast music) from Alexander Brandon (the music composer of a lot of games "the well known for me is tyrian (a space video game with futuristic and electronic music with other combinations)), Jean Michelle jarre, Bjorn Lynne, Ayumi Hamasaki (specially fast genres with super eurobeat), Chisato Moritaka, Koda Kumi, Boa, Folder5, Globe, Penicilin, and a large ETC.
And yes, the DT990 doesn't have much upper mids. That is what make that music or a lot of music, uninvolving (for me), it feel and sound slow for me.
For classical or Jazz (i am not a lover of this Genre) or other slow or moderate not so fast music it is excellent, but when it gets very fast and complex it simply doesn't stand. Maybe an APS V3 recable and/or a better amp, bring out the best of the DT990 making it faster and with better properties for that music.
Thanks

The ad2000s have much less bass than the dt990s. maybe more impact though because the snap it a combination of the upper mids and the bass playing at the same time. The dt990s I had didnt have much upper mids to tag along with the bass

Yes, i known and it is a very positive thing for me and the music that i like most. About that upper bass. It is more prominent than your D5000 (i known that it lost the war in the midbass and low bass departament but...) upper bass?
The Denon D5000 (well, the same with the D2000) is ideal for Classical (i like it but rarely i listen to it) because his organic sound and speed (enough for this music) and other slower music too (it must be excellent with some trance, electronic, techno; but the same that it can do, the AD2000 can (but without the quantity and strenght in the midbass and low bass)).
Ah, another thing that i want to known, is why the AD1000 is not as popular as the AD900 (well not in the list for compare) and AD2000?. What is the problem with it and what have/do the AD2000 that the AD1000 can't do(or can but in a lower or slightly lower degree)?
Thanks

The bass of the AD2000s sounds faster, cleaner, clearer, and sharper than the MD-5000s - because the AD2000s sound faster, and their upper bass is more prominent than the lower bass.
Overall the AD2000s sound faster, lighter, cooler, and more "airy," than the MD-5000s, which sound a bit slower, heavier, warmer, and less "airy." The AD2000s sound more like Grados, the MD-5000s sound more like Senns.
