SkitzI can only speak to what I hear but I use them with my Audioquest Dragonfly Red and I find these provide deeper, more meaningful bass than my m1060's without question. Same results on a Jotunheim as well.
SkitzYes and no. They sound quite nice also on worse DACs. But a nice DAC is Dragonfly Black and it ain't too expensive (I bought a used one for 85 USD) and it opens them up a lot, they provide a way better soundstage with this DAC.
