Well ****, if you put it that way :). I'm a big eq head and loved the eq on v4a, would rather have neutron, that's why I asked.

I know it's only $8, but $8 is still $8 if you find it not up to par. You know what I'm saying :wink:


Neutron is buggy and worthless, glad i didnt pay for it. It will not output bit perfect to mojo anf if it does by some miracle-it will only last a few minutes before crashing and being permanently unable to do so again.

Nobody can guarantee that you will experience sound in the same way as another person.
 
Listening to music is a subjective thing.
 
Being impressed (or not) by anything in life, is also a subjective thing.
 
 
 
However, numerous times in this thread, many people have remarked that Mojo gradually grows on them, and they end up being impressed by it, even though they weren't initially as impressed.
 
That doesn't necessarily mean that you will ever be impressed, if you're not now, but it is certainly something worth considering.
 
Here's one example, but there are many, many more in this thread:
 
Quote:
Given how different Mojo is from conventional dacs, I honestly feel that the brain needs atleast a week to adjust to the Mojo, in terms of interpreting all the data being thrown at it. I would imagine a short 5 minute listen at a store won't yield much besides "hmm this sounds a bit different, probably sounds worse than my iPhone, yeah that must be it!"  
 
I suppose the same could be said for any audio gear, but I feel this is even more important for the Mojo , which would also align with many people who state they they feel the Mojo sounds better and better as time goes on, suggesting that their brain is acclimatizing to how the Mojo handles audio.

 
 
 
It also depends on what kind of music you generally like to listen to - if you like artificially-created music, or highly manipulated music, then you may not be playing to Mojos strengths of making acoustic recordings sound natural and realistic.

I am extremely dissappinted that mojo sounds worse with bandcamp than my phone. This is no fault of mojo's, which used to sound spectacular with my iphone 5 with bandcamp. Its the damn android upsampling, whatever genius thought this upsampling was a good idea shouod be fired. Unfortunately for all my streaming on android; bandcamp, youtube, etc, I cannot use mojo as the sound of the upsampled output is atrocious. Shame on samsung. The only time I use mojo now is when i'm listening to albums ive downloaded via UAPP. My listening is probably 80% streaming, 20% UAPP.

Won't somone please invent a program for android that bypasses the dac when streaming from other programs? :sob:

Depends on what you're listening to, the quality and mastering of it.

Also takes time for brain to adjust to new sound.

Suggest blue coast acoustic recordings in flac.

Also depends how good your phones/iems/ciems are.

Try running it in for at least 24 hour even if you do not believe in burn in, it is well worth a try.
 
A lot of people say 100 hours gives most of the benefits of burn in.

Arguments for and against burn in aside, the reason why Rob says the Mojo is more musical are basically mathematical in nature. Listening to the mojo will eventually make that apparent, or it won't. Either way, no need to debate burning in the math of what Rob has done with the Mojo.

How can amp/dac affected by burning in?

I believe burn in is too un strengthen the driver. Yes for headphones
 
but what about solid state in Mojo :O

I am not debating it, I just suggested it as an option.
 
This notion of brain burn in is the biggest crock of !!!! I have ever heard IMO!!!

I suggest that you stop giving orders on this thread and leave it to the thread starter and moderators.
