Anyone us their mojo as the dac in a desktop setup?

I'm using my Mojo as a dac for my iFi iCan Pro.

How do you feel it works for you? Do you wish you had a desktop dac?

Mojo replaced my desktop rig of Wyred4sound Dac2SE + burson soloist SL

Cost me around £2,300

It works great. The clarity, detail and all the qualities that make the Mojo special are all still there. In fact, I had the Oppo HA-1 and the Mojo and Pro iCan is leaps and bounds better in every way. I must confess, I am waiting for the iFi Pro iDSD to be released but in the meantime I have NO problem with using the Mojo as a dac. It's actually pretty scary how good the Mojo is performing with the Pro iCan.

Great to know thanks. I love it as a dac for my d7000. I have been eying a hd800 or lcd-x but need more power. I want the same characteristics of the mojo but amplified to satisfy those headphones. Glad to know it works well.

Has anyone tried using a laptop cooler to keep their Mojo cool? Something like this?

Mojo replaced my whole desktop rig. I might have to consider an external amp if I get LCD-3s, but so far I'm satisfied.

chord hugo (1) feeding directly to ahb2 power amp (amp in low gain mode ) and monitor audio rsw 12 sub through rca splitter. speakers are kef r300. hugo is at around blue/purple output . audio recorded through olympus ls100 and video through phone. plenty of ferrite used on the power and digital cables. experience the exceptional dynamics of hugo. for best listen use headphones. thanks !

speakers were set for correct toe-in with my own experience, to get the correct depth perception and frequency balance. cables are furutech custom, source is fiio x3 2k. sub was also carefully matched for level and crossover with my own experience.

You cannot expect us to reveal a lot from the audio off of a Youtube video. Even if it was a lossless recording, there would be still some room errors from what I have heard already that would prevent me to judge how good the gear you have sounds. For example, the excessive early reflections and reverberation caused by the lack of diffusers. Get some good treatment to your room man, nice gear but lack of room acoustics.

Yes, what would you like to know?

@turkayguner, thanks for the response. if you would have listened , you would agree that there is plenty of drive and dynamics Hugo has. for those who can't afford Dave or Hugo 2, original Hugo is still has a reason to continue . I believe if the system is set properly ( specially the speakers) the sound is like the performance in that room itself , whatever are the room acoustics and that's what I experience in my untreated room. it's like listening to a person talking in that room. also the reason for wider than natural sound in the video is the mic placement in Olympus LS 100.

I'm pretty sure it would be like that, and that's where Chord excels in my opinion. Their products reproduce the audio signal in such a way that you feel like it is alive right around you.
