Come on guys. Let's have No Bull here but instead join in the Noble enjoyment of Dr John's and Brannan's fine products. We don't want this to happen
 

 
Just teasing...

I had Hugo and have Mojo, certainly prefer Mojo.

One of my favourite new artists is Zara Larsson... Her voice is really good and she's so lovely and cute. :smile_phones: I applaud Sweden, a small country with so many talented musicians, their education system is really good.


 


Thats interesting to me... I bought the Mojo 3 months ago, sold it and switched to desktop amps... dabbled in that arena for a bit and then decided that Portable was more down my ally, so I bought a Hugo.. havent compared the Mojo to the Hugo back-to-back, but chose the Hugo because of aptX bluetooth that works really well with my aptX phone + Tidal.

Definitely need aptX because of the way I use my setup on the go, but slightly disheartening to hear that you preceive the Mojo to sound better with the K10's... I do appreciate the cost savings, but I'm scared to test them out against each other because I feel as if bluetooth (aptX) is a necessity.

Oh well. To each their own, right?

It's not about what sounds better. Mojo has the same technicalities as Hugo, but it's smaller due to the new chip. It's so much cheaper than Hugo, I don't know why. It has the same output power. Maybe because it doesn't have aptX?.. I don't know. Anyway I can summarize their sound signatures like this:
 
Hugo --> On the leaner, colder side. More precise, neutral, brighter. A bit too bright for my liking. Very much like studio gear.
 
Mojo --> Slightly warmer than neutral. On the warmer side but still balanced I'd say. Smoother, more relaxed compared to Hugo. Fuller bass due to the overall fuller sound. More polite treble than Hugo.
 
So it depends on your musical preferences. I prefer fuller, warmer sound so Mojo is better for me. You might like Hugo more. Both are great. Hugo TT is better than both. Chord Dave is probably the best (or one of the best) dac/amps in the market.

I have the following on my radar as they are all pretty new release.
 
Campfire Andromeda
Noble Dulce
Noble Django
 
Listen to lots of acoustics, jazz and classical stuff and hoping one of these will be the answer. I believe in a couple of weeks we might see some initial impressions especially on the Dulce and Django and how they compare to similar priced IEMs.

Let's put it this way, after three days with my Dulce's, my Andromedas went up for sale in the classifieds.

Hahaha. I'd say your description was a even bit too modest.

Nah, strictly due to the color
 

 
 
 
 
 

 
They are downright gorgeous in person. Half the time I can't decide whether to listen to them or just stare at them. I wish I could walk around with a mirror in front of me so that both my ears and my eyes could enjoy them at the same time.
 
I love how the face shifts colors as the light shifts. What material are the faceplates made from?
