DCA Aeon and Focal Radiance (if you can find one). The DCA and Mojo2 just seem to click together, and the Radiance is a much more dynamic listen. However, Radiance is also a headphone that can get a bit too bass heavy, but of course is easily tamed with the Mojo2 EQ.

Agreed. My Innuos Zen Mk3 was out of action for three weeks so I put a MacBook Air in as source, which resulted in me listening to far less music. Digital sources matter

Go the Moon cable. Well built and reliable, good quality connectors.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. A good amp will be lower noise, have better control especially in the bass, have a more open and specific stage, and give you better dynamic contrast. All of that regardless of volume. As for a DAC, yes a good one will elevate your listening in much the sane...

The Focal Utopia III speakers have only seen incremental change since their release in 2010, largely because they arrived at a point of an incredibly high quality expression of what they were aiming for. It’s the Focal way and has been for a long time. It was completely predictable that the 2022...

hi all I’m returning to Mojo2/Poly after an absence of a year. The plan is to use Focsl Radiance in bed, but the warmer weather requires an IEM. Anyone here have experience with both the IE600 and IE900? I’m interested to know if a) the 900 carries more texture in the bass and detail in general...

Each one is more of the same, I think. Happy to be corrected.

A popular DAC, for sure. The thing is, if you’re not really certain what kind of sound you’re after, most of the high quality DACs can be wonderful. Maybe it’s only when you develop a particular preference that different brands and models become more important to check out? I’ve settled on...

100% connectors matter, as do the joins from wire to connector. More or less solder, different materials…enjoy the journey!

Susvara is a wonderful example of why “spend half your budget on the headphones” is an ideology that doesn’t work that well a lot of the time. Budget headphones and IEMs are so far and away better than they were 10 years ago that they can resolve improvements in amplification and DAC that were...

In Darko’s review he compares mojo2 with the top A&K player and says he thinks mojo2 sounds better, but obviously doesn’t have the functionality.

An Aston Martin loving friend bought one from a high end used dealer. Something about it being in Bond films. He drives it once or twice a month for about four hours at a time. He understands why I’d spend big on hifi, and notices it’s in use a few hours every day and five or six hours on...

Up until three weeks ago my speakers of choice have been the Focal Kanta 2. Here in Australia we’ve been fortunate of late to have access to some rather amazing deals on all things Focal, so I took the plunge and bought a pair of Diablo Utopia and matching stands. I always enjoyed the Kanta 2...

My point is just that a lot of criticism is thrown around that is based on anecdote and rumour and hearsay. Unless someone can provide proof of systemic shilling and dishonesty, it’s all just cynical fluff. Check out Darko’s podcast with Lavorgna on “why no bad reviews?” I don’t agree with...

Again, few or no bad reviews is explainable by means other than cash. Skewed I can believe. It’d be damn hard not to be. I’m just not a believer that everything is corrupt
