THE COMPOSER OPEN BACK FLAGSHIP by AUSTRIAN AUDIO
I went ahead and pulled the trigger when I saw that audio46 offered me no restocking fee. I should get them early next week. Worse case, it'll only cost me the return shipping. Who knows--maybe I'll keep them.- rwelles

I suggest you leave the Mojo2 charging by itself for 24 hours with a charger that outputs at least 2.1 amps before you throw in the towel.- rwelles

Mod House Audio Tungsten - Planar Magnetic Headphones - Impressions and Discussion
If you can stretch a bit, the RAGNAROK 2 at $1K USD is an amazing deal. If your budget is really tight, I think the Jot2 with the multibit module would be a nice starting point. That's $600, even less than going with the Modius.- rwelles

Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience
Still loving my N3U!! The leather case not so much. I've decided to simply use the stock case--it suits my needs much better. So I have a blue leather case I'm no longer using. There is some adhesive residue on the back from the belt clip I put on it. I'm offering it for free (incl. shipping!)...- rwelles

THE COMPOSER OPEN BACK FLAGSHIP by AUSTRIAN AUDIO
According the specs, they both weigh the same. It's still tempting. I've had a soft spot in my heart for AKG, purchased the k240 II in the late 80s. The Composer is certainly more efficient, by 7 dB. Anyone else care to chime in???- rwelles

Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
A lot of how to connect is dependant on what software you are using. To ensure that your Mac "sees" the Mojo2, go to Finder. Select from the Menu Bar, select Go>Utilities. In Utilities, select Audio MIDI Setup. The Mojo2 should show up on the list on the left side. If it's not there, try a...- rwelles

THE COMPOSER OPEN BACK FLAGSHIP by AUSTRIAN AUDIO
The Composer has been on my radar for a while. Lots of great reviews from sources I trust. My primary use case will be with Poly/Mojo2 or Cayin N3U, occasionally with my desktop rig. I already have the Empy2. The FR graphs seem to be very close, but of course that's only a fraction of the...- rwelles

Hugo TT 2 by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
I had a Zen Stream driving my HMS/TT2. I found a significant improvement when I replaced it with 2Go/2Yu. I have an Holo Red coming in next month to check out.- rwelles

Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience
These days, a thunderbolt cable is basically an over-engineered USB-C cable. As such, it is an extremely reliable. If the OP has one, I suggest they try it.- rwelles

it works GREAT with Roon!! That's my main use. While it's possible in theory to steam high res via Roon ARC via 5G, I wouldn't count on it.- rwelles

Unlikely. It's probably that your laptop isn't putting out enough power. Have you tried a dedicated charger?- rwelles
