Chord Electronics ☆ Poly ☆ (wireless & microSD module for Mojo) ☆★►USEFUL INFO on 1st PAGE!!◄★☆
Thanks for all the encouragement, but I have owned Poly since day one and it was barely functional. Now it functions, but promised features are still missing. I don't have much faith in Chord to get this sorted. Heck, they can't even maintain an update server.- captblaze

New Sony Walkman NW-A300 Series (Android 12)

FYI - the native player asks for permission to use the external DAC (Hugo2 in...- captblaze

Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience
I tend to believe a person who paid for a device has more interest in what the product is vs what was promised and will be more critical and less likely to accept the littlest of issues. Now I'm done with the hijack if you want to further discuss feel free to PM- captblaze

Cayin N3Ultra: an Entry-level Portable DAP that Delivers a Complete Vacuum Tube Audio Experience
A reviewer's perspective is a far step from a consumer's perspective. Name one consumer that has had an OEM send them expensive electronics for a try and buy? As long as the consumer has skin ($$$) in the game, their opinion matters. The cost of the device is irrelevant because most consumers...- captblaze

Do you lock the output on the Mojo2 to 3v and switch to -10db, or do you run volume up to almost the clipping point and leave it that way|?- captblaze

IBasso DC-Elite . . . The no compromise DAC/AMP with a true Stepped Attenuator
In my opinion the only one that is IEM capable is the RU7. The Hugo2 and DC-Elite pack too much punch at the lower end of the volume range. I prefer HP with those 2- captblaze

There was a progression from Mojo to Mojo2 and a similar progression in Hugo. Both pushed the product forward. Perhaps there is nothing left to gain and aside from some cosmetic changes adds nothing to the sonic ability of each device.- captblaze
