At work I plug my Sony MDR7506 into my Behringer X1204 USB and it sounds super punchy and fun to listen to.

At home I have my Focal Clear MGs plugged into a balanced Schiit Magnius fed by a Schiit Freya+ from a dedicated DAC from a dedicated streamer. It sounds beautiful tonality wise but it doesn’t really get punchy and super deep like my budget set up at work.

Am I just falling into “loud = good” trap or “bass go brrrr” mindset? Is there a way I get get more punch out of my main system?

Don’t get me wrong I love my main rig but it doesn’t give me as much bass percussiveness and depth as I’m craving like on secondary system.
