Audio Technica is famous for silky mids especially female singers and the WS1100 has that signature sound. Soundstage is good for closed cans and the slightly tilted pads help too. Don't expect AD900X level of soundstage and imaging.

Nice Onkyo vintage amp there............bet it thumps the JVC's!
It actually powers the HE-6. Very musical and at the flick of a switch basshead too.

ifi helps bass? Didn't you say it only amplifies the signal, keeping the signature the same?

There is a bass boost switch on the iCAN Micro and Nano, and the iDSD Micro (not on the iDSD Nano).

Look Mom! I'm an "Enabler" of basshead addiction!
Already bugging Owen & crew for what's next, and will it be here in time for Christmas.... I'm so bad, I should be in detention!
@Hawaiibadboy
Interested to hear your thoughts on the iDSD Nano vs. Micro.
I've heard a lot of criticism of the Nano as being basically terrible and overpriced, while the Micro stuff is a good value.

So HBB,
How about your iDSD Nano? If you had gotten the Micro version first, would you still have gotten your Nano? Any particular reason one way or the other? More portable, closer than expected in DAC performance, AMP performance, battery duration, etc? Or is the Micro version just night and day "better" for your particular type of basshead use?

Going to see what that sony sounds like when it comes tomorrow, then I'll look into some form of amp, probably the fiio mentioned in the OP.

The Nano is 1.65V max output while the Micro gets up to 10V (Nano doesn't list specs in watts, which is a red flag). Also no bass boost on the Nano. Seems a bit underpowered.
