I felt the Mojo is a very good performer for its size. Price talk will be subjective, but for me yes it is reasonable. Solid aluminium body and very very nice pebble-like material for buttons.

Review by 'aftercrasher' on item 'iFi Audio micro iDSD'
I will be comparing both the iDSD and the iDSD Black Label (called BL for short) with the XBass turned on as default as that is what I am used to listen.

What cables are you using there? Looks sweet. I am looking for a cable to darken the sound slightly. I feel its currently slightly too lean although am learning to enjoy it.- aftercrasher

= HiFiMAN HE-560 Impressions & Discussion Thread =
What do you guys think of trading in my HE560 to the Edition X? would it make a lot of difference in terms of sound? I have not heard the Edition X as no retailers here bring them in. Are they like mini HE1000 minus the metal build?- aftercrasher

Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆
I have been using my Mojo as a desktop DAC since I got it until I recently strapped it to my DAP. It was then I noticed it emitted a horrible squealing noise when I turn it on. When I say squealing noise, its the kind where you can hear it if you put the unit to your ear. Like a discharging...- aftercrasher

NocturnaL Audio Custom Headphone Cables
So who is in charge of the operations of Nocturnal now? I have purchased 4 Nocturnal cables from Treoo this year and did not find any problems with the given delivery date, except that a pair was 1 week delayed. Quite unnerving to trust the brand with 200$ cable when you claim that Nocturnal is...- aftercrasher

Shure SE846 Impressions Thread
Some posts ago, I have written that my SE846 does not wow me sonically despite them being $999 and changing to all sorts of filters don't work quite well. Was close to modding my blue filters but held myself from doing it. Yesterday I collected my NocturnaL Silver + Copper cables which I got...- aftercrasher
