    MrSpeakers Ether Impressions Thread

    Unfortunately, I only heard the Ether with the micro iDSD, but I just got a Chord Mojo to use with my LCD-X, and it's quite the significant upgrade over the iDSD in my humble opinion....

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

    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay so, I'm stunned. I've listened for the Mojo for all of 30min and I cannot believe what I'm hearing. Song after song, the detail improvement is substantial! And where is the fatigue? I'm listening to parts of songs that normally hurt my ears and caused fatigue and now it's...

    I just opt for ignoring such comments and just hope the intent was better than it seems.

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

    With the micro iDSD you had to make sure that the iDSD was on before you plugged your phone into it, otherwise it would try and use the phone battery to charge itself and often it would cause the music to be intermittent, that's one benefit of two usb inputs, one for power and one for data! I'm...

    You know another thing I find interesting, is since I sold my micro iDSD, I've been stuck listening with a Fiio X3 first gen, and I find my ears are wayyyyy more fatigued than they were with the iDSD. And yet, the iDSD had more detail AND I could listen at higher volumes with far less fatigue...

    Good post! I enjoyed reading it. I actually relate in some ways, I don't know how audiophile-esque I am either, so I'm anxious to hear it and see what my conclusions are. One thing is for sure, I do not like the HD800.. I appreciate it, but I don't like it. You might try and audition an Audeze...

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

    When I read about the amount of work and technology that's gone into the Mojo, and the amount of praise it's received from so many on Head-Fi, it's kind of gut-wrenching to even think it could be possible for someone not to appreciate a significant difference in sound quality, whether he be an...

    Sure, I doubt the average joe could tell either, but is a guy with an SE846 an average joe?

    MrSpeakers Ether Impressions Thread

    Forgive me, completely slipped my mind!  I was using the iFi Micro iDSD, plugged in using Apple's CCK into an iPhone 5.  Cables were stock for the Audeze, and the DUM cable for the Ether. I compared many times during my trial period, but the day before I returned the Ether I listened for...

    Can I use a turbo phone charger with the mojo? Would it charge the mojo faster??

    MrSpeakers Ether Impressions Thread

    Time to report back on my findings between the LCD-X and Ether 1.1.   First, I must say I believe both of these headphones are quite impressive, and I could highly recommend both of them. Onto the differences and pros and cons:   LCD-X: It's interesting, because I believe the way the Ether...

    Audeze LCD-X

    Question.. I was listening to some car sound videos on YouTube through my LCD-X playing off my phone, and a lot of videos have extreme variances in volume, and it can sound fairly loud(even if my phone volume is only at half). Should I be cautious with that? I've read some things about amps...

    Didn't want to have to skim through all the pages of this thread, but quick question! Does the Mojo have any issues with channel balance at lower volume? And is the volume suited for IEM's and easy to drive headphones?   I'm selling my Micro iDSD because in order for the channels to be...

    Electrostatic Headphones

    Helpful info! But I should've been clearer in my original post, the question I intended to ask is, is it possible to get into a good electrostatic setup for less than $3000? Currently I have an LCD-X and and iFi Micro iDSD, and was debating whether I should jump ship from planar to electrostats.
