There is no distortion with turbo power mode. It's only with normal mode. What happens is that when I drop down to normal mode I have to turn the volume up louder which then distorts the bass only at certain frequencies. This doesn't happen in turbo mode with volume being at the Same level

Around $1000 Aud, maybe higher in a few weeks. What would you recommend? Also why not the HDVD800?

Also I've managed to almost replicate the bass boost by ifi. Will definitely do some more tinkering. Thank you

No worries. I have just installed APO Now so still learning. Would you recommend a sennheiser hdvd 800? I have seem a cheap used one on market place?

As I said of I turn down power mode the bass starts to distort when I turn up the volume to compensate. It's clean with turbo power mode enabled

I use turbo. If I have it on normal I notice that the bass distorts quite a bit a times with Xbass enabled. The HD800s require alot of power

Not enough to drive the HD 800s I'm afraid
