I personally like the price hike, i hate the fact that the components are compressed in order to sell better. What I'm looking forward to this dongle is a direct Mojo2 killer.

About 300 USD.

I just say that because the game LP are playing is there, they have to be better than 200$ dongles or else they fail. That's also what the consumers want with this release.

Because maybe some people just want better sound than both of those that's in expensive designs?

This in house chip better be at least as good as Chord's Mojo 2 chip, or else I have no interest in this product.

Hi, I was thinking of a mid end DAC solution, just purely on the DAC performance, what would you guys think the Mojo 2 or the Bifrost 2/64 is a better DAC? I've heard they're pretty on par to each other but still can't decide yet....Thanks!

Yeah, that's what I thought too, the 109 are very easy to drive, but I also have a plan to buy the Atrium and want to drive both of them properly. Thanks for the reply!

Hello, I'm looking for a upper-mid end game for my Meze 109 Pro, the Cayin N7 seems to be an interesting choice. Should I buy a full-fledged stack (Bifrost 2/64 and ifi Pro Ican Sig come to mind) or just this small cute but mighty DAP like this?

I would suggest trying out the ifi Pro ican Signature, other than the already lovely Violectric amps.

Details also depend on the amount of understanding of music in reality of the listeners. People who spend lots of time surrounded in and consciously researching how eventful actual sonic enviroments are, usually have more "realistic" hearing ability over someone who listen the gears purely by...

SE output from a fully ballanced design of the circuitry can always be benefited from it, compared to the single ended design of the 202. Aside from obvious beefier output power, that might result into some slight change in sound quality, personally I've not had the chance to do comparisons yet.

109 stock cables be ugly like nahhh, you failed Meze.

You can find it on Meze's website.

I would go for the Bifrost 2/64 if I were you

Can't stand live music in reality cause it measures pretty bad actually. Much noisier than my A90 tbh.
