    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

      Are you sure it's not the recording? I've listened to high file size but badly mastered 24-bit recordings, so the bit-rate doesn't tell all of the story. Go search around the net for excellently mastered albums. Not all recordings are made equal. Go listen to binaural recordings if you want...

    I thought you have a Mojo?   It is supposed to include a promo code inside for a free DSD album download.

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Ohhhh, that's good to hear.   All those used but cheap AK100s being sold in our local forums seems more appealing now!

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    After I got my Mojo awhile ago, I told the shop owner that I'm eyeing an AK100 to strap onto the Mojo but he discouraged me due to the slugginess.   He's got a point though.Given that the AK100 is an aging DAP already, and with increasing mSD capacities, wouldn't the entire process of browsing...

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

      Hi Rob,   Could you do a similar test on a 300 ohm load?   I'm guessing a power output of somewhere in the 70-80mW range, which should be on par with some single-ended output from other respected portable amps.

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    From previous posts, Vrms output of the Mojo seems to be at ~5 Vrms.   But could someone convert it to this?   • ?mW into 32Ω • ?mW into 50Ω • ?mW into 300Ω • ?mW into 600Ω   Kinda difficult for me to compare it with other amps with that unit.   Thanks!

    Aurisonics ROCKETS: Impressions Thread

    For those who have owned these iems for quite some time now,   Anybody had issues with the lack of strain reliefs on the wires near the earpieces? Unless the cable is not bendable at that point (which is unlikely), it will likely bend/deform in time and eventually fail.

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

      With my search for "bang-for-buck" IEMs, I've stumbled upon a local store which offers the VSonic GR07 @ USD 120 and FLC 8S (which you've praised highly in your review) @ USD 320.   I'd take it that the GR07 is more of a sidegrade than an upgrade from the RE-400, right?   And the 8S...

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

          Dammit, just checked the retail price of IM-02s here in our country and was surprised that it's priced at ~$350 USD. For reference, the Aurisonics Rockets and Kicker are locally priced at US $260, B2 at US $140, RE-600 at US $230 and RE-400 at US $95. It seems AT sets are steeply...

    Multi-IEM Review - 352 IEMs compared (Pump Audio Earphones added 04/03/16 p. 1106)

    I'm currently looking for a replacement for my RE-400, which unfortunately has given up on me. As I always wear them over-the-ear, the wire near the strain relief broke off. Of course it had to be because of that poorly designed stain relief.   From your list, it seems that the Brainwavz B2...

    NEW! iBasso D-Zero Mk2

    I've had the d-zero for quite some time now, but given that it is the first and only dac/amp that I've owned, I haven't experimented it with other equipment yet.   I'm planning on getting a Senn HD600, but I'm quite unsure if the amp section of the D-zero is capable enough. So my question is...

    The NEW ATH-ES700..

    I'm getting kind of paranoid over having scratches on these nice earcups so I'm thinking of putting on some protective film over them.   Obviously those "sticks-using-static" ones won't work on these, so the only choice would be those adhesive-type ones.   The concern I have is whether the...

    NAD Viso HP50 : Another superb headphone from Paul Barton?

    I've only noticed it now, but the headband of my HP50 doesn't seem to be parallel to the earcups.   I mean, if I put the earcups on a flat surface, as it originates from the hinge, the band goes a little off by 5-10 degrees from parallel.   Nothing big really, but now that I saw it, it...

    Sennheiser MOMENTUM Review

    So, that wasn't just distortion due to the bad fit?   Is this the "Sennheiser veil" that I've been reading about? (sorry I'm new in all of this).   This lowered-treble wasn't as evident with the rest of the Sennheiser line-up that I demo'ed (4x9, 5x8 series) as it did with the Momentums, so...
