DACs and bass response?


I'm auditioning dacs in my system. One (COS) was way to analytical, overall, but had very tight bass. Another (Aqua La Voce) is what some would describe as "musical"  and sounds  terrific in all aspects except bass. My cdp alone does better in that regard. I have monitors and no subs. Can I expect that dacs that are hyper-detailed will also offer tighter bass as a rule?

In general I found that there is a trade of between mid/high to low dynamics  and not only in Dacs, gear that sounds very detailed and 'sweet' (strong at mid and high) doesn't peoduce strong punchy  bass and in contrary gear that has accurate  and tight bass tends to be less detailed and musical at the mid/high section. 
In general I prefer to sacrifice a little bit at high/ mid to achieve strong and tight bass .
@stuartk the digital cables play very important part to allow the dac to perform at its best you must explore a little further here.
I use the Tellurium Q black coax cable which has extremely low jitter and designed to combat fase distortation with excellent results.
