My new headphones came in the mail today. Audio Technica ATH A700X. Currently burning them in. I hope I don't have to buy a DAC to go with it. I say this because the bass is initially weak. I hope after this burn-in that won't be so. “Loddfafnir, listen to my counsel: You will fare well if you follow it, It will help you much if you heed it.

That seems an odd thing to say.
How come? Did I make a grammatical error? Do you not know what a DAC is?

Analog being the more outdated of the two, I assume?
Most modern audio signals are stored in digital form (for example MP3s and CDs) and in order to be heard through speakers they must be converted into an analog signal. DACs are therefore found in CD players, digital music players, and PC sound cards. Headphones are really just speakers that fit over your ears. If the DAC in those said products can't power high-quality headphones like mine, the sound will be of a lower quality.
