AK Jr only has analog line out. Would it work with Mojo?

Mojo can take only DIgital input, so only DIgital audio can enter into Mojo, No analog Sorry!

Yeah it's so damn hard to find. They made so limited product. The new one, b200 even not for international buyer
Be7 mark 2?
Guess we have quite same champions here. For me the best is zen 1, should be amped. The best direct drive is be7. Still waiting for mid-centric champion.

try AKG K319 for mids

Some more impressions from Seahf LD-3.0 150 Ohm vs LD-4.0 400 Ohm
 
The 150 Ohm are not very polite. They throw the music directly in your face, they sound like being on a live concert, where the sound blast at full volume. Powerfull bass, but no as deep as on the 400 Ohm. Like I wrote once before, it´s your music on steroids. I think they´re a stunner, but for some it might be a bit too much.
The 400 Ohm have a very smooth and laid back sound. Imagine the best turntable set up you know, that´s what they sound like. The bass goes really deep, and they have a wide soundstage. They´re way more balanced than the 150 Ohm, but lack the power and attack of the latter. All imo, of course.
 
Today, I´ll get the LD-3.0 320 Ohm + 400 Ohm.

Is the 400 Ohm 4.0 worth it for the bass extension? I feel Ostry KC08t already has that covered.

Nice! I just ordered AG RX-1 and Boarseman MX98s now and waiting for some DIY drivers.
 
@springbay how does it sounded compared to Cygnus? the highs area is a bit less veiled than Monk 1?

The Boarseman MX98s are very relaxed, a bit darkish and slightly warm. Works well with any genre and where the clarity of the Cygnus and Ting sometimes can get a bit fatiguing on some energetic pop tracks, the MX98s are like butter to my ears. A great bud to use when coming home after a long tiresome day at work, and you just want to take a sip of your poison of choice, listen to some music and take it easy.
I mainly used them on my Iphone last evening, but at the end of the night I plugged them into the VE RA2.0, and they simply exploded with detail but still remained pleasantly warm and very relaxed.

Thanks @golov17 and @Tayyab Pirzada for your impressions about KC08T it seems it would be the perfect bud for my tastes. What only worries me now is its size... I don't have problem with Yuin, Edifier or Tomahawk, but Monks hurt me after some time wearing them.

Are they warmer than the Zen to you?

  what is the difference between KC08T and KC08 ?

This is from Massdrop:
"The sound is clear and natural, and further refined in the KC08’s successor, the KC08T. Featuring the same driver structure and accessories, this upgraded model has a slightly higher impedance and a shinier look to its metallic finish."

With the phone as source, yes. The warm sound of the MX98s is probably due to the included full foams that I use (naked, they are very bright). I'll have to try them some more with the RA2 to make a comparison. I'd never use the Zen2 straight from the phone. But that is also where the MX98s fill a gap in my collection. I want some buds that I can plug straight into the phone, without the need of bringing an amp with me. But that's for now, like everyone else I have the RX-1 incoming.
