Hi i do not understand
Do you mean that if i listened to more live music i would change my mind about the importance of a strong bass ?
Let me explain why i "need" bass.
I spent many many years with a decent pair of bookshelves ,,, with a 13 cm woofer.
I thought i was hearing music. Instead i was not.
I realized this at a friend's house listening to a pair of vintage JBLs L-200 ... wow !!! what a difference ...
A bass so powerful, full, musical ... giving body to the sound.
So now i am obsessed by bass response and many dac are weak on the bass.
Wadias are not weak but they are very expensive and rare as 2nd hand units.
I wonder if something cheaper can give a decent performance.
For instance i am listening to a Cambridge Audio dacmagic now ... weak.
Maybe i should try a different power supply ?
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
bg

Here we get into the argument about "natural" or "absolute " sound, ie do we want to be impressed or hear what's on the disc.
Hi i thought a little and i think i am ready to answer
I would like to get something that impresses me with its realism.
I am looking for a more real than real experience.
Call it the feeling to be there without having to bother with concert booking, the unwanted noise, the coughs ...
For instance i like much more recordings taken without the pubblic.
Sometimes i have found this kind of experience told by reviewers reviewing some exceptional product. I am referring to reviews in Stereophile like those of Rockport Antares speakers, Stax headphones, etc.
At certain moments the reviewers were fooled to hear the real thing.
This is just amazing.
When, blindfolde, you are not sure to listen to a recording or to a real performance.
I understand not easy to get, but still ...
Thanks and regards.
Kind regards,

I think the best live sound I have heard was the Washington Chamber Orchestra playing Felix Mendelsohn in a small, but well designed auditorium and there was no amplification. No sound system I have ever heard could match it.
