Running the HD 800 out of my MF M1HPA (with built in DAC) I feel that the bass is simply way too light and sub-bass is close to non-existant. The sound is clean but very dry and no bottom.
I have no experience with the MF M1HPA but the HD800s have an impedance spike around 100hz (up to over 600 ohms). Maybe, just maybe, the bass light sensation you are getting has to do with the amp not handling that spike as well as you like. It has been reported the HD800 is very picky and amps it doesn't match with give it a bass-lite response. Have you heard your pair with other amps?
