I can follow that line of thought but whether the song is being fed from a hard drive or ram disk its still being loaded into ram and streamed to the USB hub and sent out through usb (or optical) to the mojo. Now maybe using different usb hubs might make a difference but I'm sure the mojo has capacitors to prevent overvoltages and of it didn't have enough voltage the signal would drop out. If that's the case then I'd be seeing usb cables with external power supplies or batteries to boost the signal but as I say there is only so much signal a USB device can receive.


Yes, I see where you're coming from. Just when I read 0's and 1's don't matter I tend to go off as 0's and 1's don't exist. They are just an abstract representation of different states, and the more 'stuff' in the way the more chance of signal degradation. :wink_face:

Do you mean you get into a 'state' when you read 0's and 1's don't matter?

The software that are loaded from Ramdisk has a much simpler path to the file than harddrive. Ramdisk creates a virtual memory which sectors off part off the rams. If you dedicate a software to a ramdisk drive, the software will load from totally different sectors of the ram. This will be much simpler and faster path or so I've read.

And I am experiencing better sound through Tidal and itunes stream using ramdisk.

The different dac and amps sound different because there are actual physical differences. The dac that turns those 0s and 1s into music are different so they have different sound characters and furthermore the amp as well.

Imagine you have a document stored on a USB stick and you print it. Different printers will have different resolutions and printing processes. If you take the same document and move it to your hard drive then the file itself isn't going to change when it gets to the printer.

The data for a song is still the same regardless of where it's stored.



I understand this but many people out there ask the question, all dacs sound the same, it's all 0 and 1 don't have these factors in mind.

@Mython  DysonAudio website is back up.  Just so everyone knows he does a lot of sound engineering and he also DJ's.  This takes up quite a bit of his time.  He apologizes for not replying to inquiries and is going to post a statement on his website about how long orders should take so people no longer have to guess.

I would have preferred never to have arrived.

That review should be a template on how NOT to do a review.


I like mojo, a lot, I like his style too, have you looked at other videos of his, he is pretty fair with things, expecially per price, which is why I appreciate him. I think mojo is amazing tho, and no review other than ones ears does full justice

Excellent. I can't think of another source for cables, at the same price, that I would recommend.

I agree with that actually. I tend to be fairly neutral when it comes to his reviews, I figure a lot of people have use for his style of "analysis" but that mojo review was just squandering - I got nothing from it at all, it sounds "good" (as good as the HA-2 which I'm sure is a colossal misconception), has fun balls to play with and isn't worth the money. Ok. Cool.
