that's possible. I just tried it for fun & experiment since I had the P50 laying around. it worked fine so I guess i just stuck with it. maybe that's why with battery it sounds fuller and with the LPS leaner giving illusion of clarity. I'll listen some more.

The LPS I used was the Topping P50 whose outputs are regular USB ports. So its kinda just like powering it via its micro USB port (just with the battery disconnected to ensure the internal battery is not being utilized.)

Here is my quick comparison of the Chord mojo with the Topping P50 LPS (battery disconnected) vs Without : Difference is subtle but audible considering the lots of factors with youtube compression, crappy microphone, room coloration, etc. I also read above that Rob Watts, Kentajalli &...

fun tweak : disconnect the internal battery and connect to a Linear Power Supply (like Topping P50). The result is a more lively & expansive sound. I tried to compare it with the internal battery as well as power bank. Ultimately, the result is subtle, but once I heard the LPS, going back to...

how would you rank the Rag2 compared to AS1100 and PM8006?

Did you mean the brio 2017? Interesting! I currently have the Rag 1 on loan and its quite a beast and one of the best amps ive ever heard however the lack of remote and excessive heat leaves me looking into other amps.

How does the rag compare to $1000 speaker amps like the Rega brio? Has anyone else tried/ compared them yet?

Looking forward to your impressions since you also have the Modi 3, Mimby and Bifrost 4490. Thanks in advance!

Here's my quick take on the Mojo -- against the Mimby and Topping E30 : Mojo is quite impressive -- I always speculated that FPGA sounds just like DS dacs (but with better super-sampling & output stage). That might still be true but I find the Mojo sound a lot cleaner, blacker and more...

that's probably why I also preferred the MM (with V2 firmware) since I use it exclusively for stereo/speakers. Mojo is also nice though, much better than any delta sigma dacs ive heard. I'll give it more time to give a proper comparison.

I'm currently comparing the much more expensive Chord Mojo to the Modi Multibit. I still feel the Modi Multibit is better, more microdynamics, better depth, better timbre, more analog sound. The Mojo sounds super smooth and clean though. The Mimby heck of a lot more musical IMO.

Just restart it

I totally get you. I actually just borrowed a friend's Chord Mojo which is supposed to be much better than the mimby and off-the-shelf Delta Sigma DACs but I still feel the mimby sounds less processed, more pure, more rhythm (albeit slightly grainy). The Mojo sounds so clean and smooth that some...

Do you find the Mimby having a more grainy treble compared to the modius? Do you turn-off the mimby or leave it on 24/7? If there is one thing I noticed between multibit and DS is that the treble is kinda grainy. Then again, I never leave the mimby on 24/7 and just tun it on when I need to use...

This might be highly subjective but my take is multi-bit sounds more like real life and yes maybe vinyl-like. I don't know if its 'pleasing' per se, but somehow it sounds more transparent despite being thicker and softer. It resolves more detail in a different way through larger / deeper...
