You only have one album? And less than a third of another?

I am learning german in mexico like in the usa we use comma "," as thousands separator in german they use the dot "." so he's implying 1, 257
 
I have 2, 540+ albums

Curious...what is the sample rate of your 24bit files?

All different - the highest I could get of that release.
I have 24/44, 24/48, 24/88, 24/96 and 24/192, maybe one at 24/176.
 
To my ears, on my rigs, 24bit is the real upgrade. 24/44 sounds nearly as impressive as 24/192 to me but of course i'm not comparing the same release.  My experience shows the jump in quality from 16/44 to 24/44 is slightly larger than from 24/44 to 24/192. There's something in the extra data space of 24bit that gives an effective bitrate over 2000k that seems to hold most of the magic to me, not the continually higher sampling rates.

24/192 of poorly mastered albums is even worse than 256kbps of properly mastered albums. Personally I can't listen to any rips with any noise background except for concert recording.
 
When jack pot is struck, the improvement in audio from hardware tweaking (aka trial and error) can be massive in comparison to the relatively minor improvement from the digitals. Without a sound stage big enough, extensions deep enough, weight/power in notes heavy enough and separations clear enough to present the music, nothing really matters.

this man speaks the truth its all in the master

The Mojo have the same components as the Hugo, including the DAC, the differences are the amplifier, features, input, size and....price

The Mojo has been optimized for iems and on-ear headphones, the Hugo has been made to handle high impedance full size headphones.

This is misinformation. The DAC hardware is different - more advanced in the Mojo - but the programming is similar, but again slightly different. Both devices don't have a seperate amp section, they simply use the discrete analogue stage from the DAC.

The analogue section is mostly the same between the Mojo and the Hugo except Rob Watts used three small resistors in the Mojo instead of two large ones in the Hugo to accommodate the Mojo's small size. Other than that the analogue output is identical to the Hugo. In other words both can power full sized headphones with the same power performance. The power from the Mojo is remarkable and is measured at 5.3Vrms with a peak output of 7V. The only thing Rob did for the Mojo specifically for portable use is tune it slightly warmer which suites me fine.

You can read my review with an interview with the designer Rob Watts that explains what the differences are. It's good know what you are saying before you spread misinformation.

  this man speaks the truth its all in the master

he speaks half of the truth. the master is critical of course, as is the overall mix, the quality of instrument played, the quality of performance. oh yeah - the song is kinda important too.
 
you can't just dismiss the format though. it's not one or the other.  assuming the same mastering session - why have the engineer downgrade the audio other than for convenience or cheapness?
 
badly mastered 24/192 vs. well mastered 256k?  neither, thank you.
 
i don't listen to badly mastered anything as far as i'm concerned. if i found it to be poorly mastered i would cease listening to it. there's all sorts of modern bands that might not suck but i avoid because of the loudness problems.

That is correct. I only need my daily Dosis of Sunset Mission and i'm good to go.

RWAK240 + SE846 via 2.5mm. Excuse the uggo RSA to 2.5mm adapter lol.

How do the Germans accommodate the decimal point?

they use the comma for decimal separators

 hahaha at first i was baffled and took a bit of time to get used to it as we usa and mexico use decimal point for decimals and comma for thousands

Some of the Black Friday deal are already here, this is where i wish i had more time to myself
 Today combo Sony ZX2, Sony PHA3 with masking tape and ATH-M50x

I will not. We cannot make any concessions to esthetics
