HE1000v2 is really a game changer at $2k, enjoy your kickass headphones cause I know I am! I wanted a shorter balanced cable, so I ended ordering a Cardas Parsec headphone cable and it definitely makes a difference if you swap out a $50 balanced cable from a $$$ cable......

Now drive them Balanced. There's a reason the headphones in the pictures on the Schiit website are all plugged in by the 4pin Balanced. https://www.schiit.com/products/jotunheim-1?Finish=514&Module=517&Voltage=520&Plug%20Type=522&

You need to drive them balanced and not single ended~ as well as try another amp~

Reply to How much of a difference can I expect if I buy boutique aftermarket cables? by undecidables
I'd say headphones that are $999 and below will benefit from an aftermarket balanced cable around $50 and headphones costing more will only see a difference spending $200 or more. I know I'm going to get slack and down voted but this is my experience and you're asking a question.

Awesome. I too love my bass so on my journey I've ended up on the Hifiman HE1000v2. Also using an RME ADI-2 DAC FS to Sennheiser HDVA 600 balanced driven~

How are you driving the headphones, from what I got out of the info is an Apple Dongle, is that right?

The bass from the Edition XS is quite nice from my experience.

My roommate uses the silver Dragon headphone cable with his Diana TC also a great cable.
