If you like the TT2 then it’s safe to say you will appreciate the Mojo . It’s TT2 ish just less width and depth. Of course not as detailed. Try one it’s a fantastic device 👍- rocketron

The iBasso Dongle DAC Thread – DC03 Pro | DC04 Pro | DC06 Pro | DC Elite | ...
The HC4 is not completely out classed by the Elite. The HC4 has more lower midrange and a wetter bass with more over hang. Detail wise they are both similar but the stage is different. The Elite is more up front and wider. The HC4 is set back like your 5-6 rows back and the stage is narrower...- rocketron

The Elite is more technical than the Mojo 2 but Mojo2 I find warmer. If you want to elevate both of them I can suggest the Vali 3 with 5670/12au7 adapter and a RFT 12Au7 valve.👍- rocketron

Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread
I couldn’t tell you as I’m just a lowly burger flipper when it comes to tubes, but I’m going to read up and find out.👍 I am genuinely shocked at how good it sounds. I have tried 14 different valves in the Vali 3 and to me this valve is head and shoulders better than any of the others. The...- rocketron

Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread
This is the one so far. Sounds absolutely massive. RFT ECC 82/12AU7. I’m actually shocked at how good this sounds. I wonder if Schiit ever produces a separate valve buffer for between cd/streamers and amps? It would sell in its many thousands.- rocketron

All of them and the differences will be substantial 🤣 Start with the stock valve then GE 5670W it’s cheap sounds lovely and there’s plenty of them around.- rocketron

Schiit Vali 3 : Impressions Thread
If that’s the case Schiit has its work cut out with the new Lyr that will be coming out. Agree the Vali 3 is very good. Playing the stock valve now and while it’s no match for more exotic and expensive valves it’s doing a fine job as a get you going valve.- rocketron
