Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass


I am not a bass fiend just would like a dac that has pleasing tight moderately deep bass.  I have pass labs monoblocks so amp not an issue....don't really want tube dac....

I know room and acoustics and system synergy play crucial role but have found some dacs excel at transparency like chord and other sound a bit flat like oppo....marantz is slightly warm exc prat but bass is bit light....

Thanks in advance.....

The things I read? Change a DAC to change the bass? OK! A DAC for under 10K? OK!

And OP don’t get mad.. OK Just Don’t...

How many different DAC chips are there?

Someone will change a DAC, when you just need to turn up the BASS on the tone control. I can push a speaker around a bit to get more or less bass, CHANGE A DAC, like I said "The things I read"..

A2D, I’m surprised you didn’t say they were full of something.

Hear a difference so we change a DAC.. I’ve heard it all. Smoke coming out of the top, THEN it’s time to change a DAC.

Excuse please, Puff Puff pass.

Change an engine because it doesn’t sound right.. See how funny that sounds. Change the muffler?

Something else is wrong like, get a tone control, and don’t compare analog to digital, ya can’t. One you will like, and one is better, not the same thing...

I slam the front door and the windows rattle, change the windows? LOL

Mercy
I got it, add a BASS tube buffer. Is there such a thing? LOL

Don’t get mad now.. I had a hard time buying a "Tube preamp" with a DAC, I had a hard time with that for a while.. But I never had a BASS issue with anything for the last 45 years.. TONE control, not DAC control..

MERCY, the stuff you read.. "I WON’T".. OK you won’t. BUT you WON’T fix it with a 4K DAC either, just turn the knob with "BASS" written over the top of it, clockwise...COST ZERO.... "I won’t be changing"... Funny...
