Ya, take off the top plastic plate, then roll the tubes out, its very easy. Just be gental with the tubes.
As for the bass, the EF2 is clear and very unboomy (which is good). I really saw this when I AB'ed a cdplayers amp that I had vs the EF2. If you want some extra bass, I found that win7, and possibly vista have a boost bass option that actually gives it a higher bass impact without sounding to boomy. However, I encourage you to gradually reduce the bass and go to a more neutral sound. I use to be a ridiculous bass head and I didn't realize how excessive it was until i got into head-fi. Some recording really lack bass and could use a little boost, but I pretty much always leave mine completely neutral. Also the Denon D200 naturally should have pretty good impact without tons of eq. Same with Ultrasones.

Forgive my paranoia, I just don't wanna mess things up. Secondly, I'm a basshead.. I'm used to bumped bass in EQ (eeepc - PX100). Now, I got a D2000 with the EF2 but I found the DAC input is lacking bass, is there a way to remedy this? ATM I'm resorting to using the CD input, but I really wanna use USB. |
