An indicator of discontent would be a plumetting 2nd hand price, but 50% of msrp after 9 years is showing respect imho. By dry statistics: 8-9 years of selling a product, if it's so long on the market, why aren't there more available on the 2nd hand market? On audio-marktDOTde in general is...

Same price ballpark in EU. People who choose for mere integrated know they gonna backstep in quality, taking colateral damage.

The Dave's I know of which were sold 2nd hand was same reason: people wanted to get rid of multi boxes and wanted a more integrated system. What prices did you see for those Dave's?

Those wifi bridges to streamer, I feed them from 12V battery too, very satisfied with the result! My hard wired network setup, hard if not completely impossible to note differences. But the general health of your particular wifi realm wil be very important I guess.

There are plenty usb to optical converters that are dirt cheap if only for testing. Worth a try imho. I've a Douck U2 for 65 euro but there are pcb types half that price.

I'm not very sure, but feeding such a unit from a free usb slot of the streamer itself was not as good as feeding the unit from a standard 5V mains adapter (you use to charge your phone with) I started using those in rooms without wired network sockets. A temporary solution that went unchanged...

Roon says to avoid wifi but I'm quite satisfied with stuff like this.

Hi all, I just jumped in this thread a sec ago so maybe I say something covered already, anyways here it goes: Updated to latest version 2024.04.21 Initially to shift from DDC to streamer one had to connect/disconnect the usb input lead in combination with a off/on restart. I noticed the...

Focal Stellia works great for me, no EQ added. PS: edm mostly.

I've TT2 too. It's always interesting to make all of one's gear compatible. The Audioquest adapter 2xRCA to 3,5TRS kind of rapes the little M2 and it made some bad contact in the 3,5 socket on occasion.

Yes I could DIY. https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/ has all the bits. Was wondering if Moon had competition besides questionable ebay stuff. Not much I suppose.

Hi, I might have missed posts about: Is there a good quality 75ohm cable like this? To go from Mscaler to M2. There's more chance for RCA's than BNC's though. I've the Audioquest adapter block 2x RCA female to 3,5 TRS male, but it's chunky/not flexible. Thanks. Found this one already...

Toslink was designed for 48kHz. Don't panic when it hampers on 192.

That cma18p looks more like a competition to Hugo2 than to Mojo2.

I've had toslinks of same (not expensive) brand, some did 192 while others didn't.

That matters most, things what you like most :thumbsup: Just threw in my 2cents :beerchug:

Owned both the RME ADI2 dac FS and Mojo, the RME was not able to beat mojo's sound, not even the Mojo1. It might matter less if the headphone or amp/speakers are unable to transfer the strong points of mojo. But if the gear translates well then the stage of mojo will be larger and more...

It would be a desastrous design if that would brick the mojo. Lots of bricked mojo's would result of that, I don't recall a case.

No Mscaler?

Agree, more in terms of stage size. You won't lack details on mojo2 imho.

Bauhaus, Sisters of mercy,...terrible recordings but it's a signature of a time, it must be that way to trigger the exact forgotten feelings of the past, so I sure concur on that part. But for recent music I'm more demanding though, a mediocre song that is very well mastered is still...

....or a change in powergrid polution, sinuses get havoced sometimes.

"That" chase is over 😁 I would not call it a human condition, rather a human property to curiously investigate zoning into whatever stuff crosses our path and especially men have a triple dna string for that 😅

I think most/all people agree that there is a gap between (M)M2 vs (M)Dave. The complication is: how much does person X care about that gap, or a gap in general. E.g. my friend acknowledge a canyon wide gap between his 500€ blaster and my setup but he frankly doesn't care and so goes on...
