OK, here are my suggestions: Edit: If you need speaker crossfeed / stereo / headphone crossfeed symbols, just use the drawing for the speaker crossfeed, a couple of unconnected ears for stereo and for headphones put the outline of a head between the ears so it's in-head crossfeed.- eugenius

Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
Yes, they said Hugo2 will get a streamer companion before. I hope they add DSP / Room correction to that, there's no excuse to have a high end digital only product without it in 2020.- eugenius

I prefer the symbols. But I think you can improve the reverb/bass enhancer symbols. You should invert the color scheme and make it matte white with black writing. There's a trend towards white things right now, and it also looks better when you have a lot of writing on the case like you do...- eugenius

Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
A price drop would be a bad idea. Launch a much better product and increase the price a bit, to keep your premium status. People will pay if the ownership experience is excellent. I'm guessing Qutest was a bigger sales success than 2qute, despite the price increase.- eugenius

Terrible customer service experience with Tidal - Im done

Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
I don't see Chord making a balanced Mojo2. They don't like balanced in principle and even Hugo2 doesn't have it. I don't see Mojo2 becoming a player either. Unlike hardware, software is hard for a small company.- eugenius

Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]
I trust Chord to have the sound quality covered. What they are weak on is ergonomics/usability. I'd like to see: - field replaceable battery - well sorted USB-C fast charging - separate volume control for each output - input signal detect with auto-switch Bonus: - latest Bluetooth - desktop...- eugenius

When USB4 hits and manufacturers can make higher power USB devices, this type of headphone amp will become so good it will make solid state desktop headphone amplifiers obsolete.- eugenius

As I see it, there are two ways to do eq: 1. You make the device easy to use for the non-technical people (as in knobs for rumble, thump, punch, fullness, honk, whack, crunch, sibilance, definition, air etc. - each implemented to the best of your knowledge / dsp resources). Then you add global...- eugenius

Topping DX3 Pro VS Topping D50 for Audioengine A5+
DX3 pro, it's AKM and it has a good headphone out and a remote. But the DX3 pro is on a much higher level than you Audioengine speakers, it deserves speakers like these: https://www.trustedreviews.com/reviews/acoustic-energy-ae1-active- eugenius

Amp that has a remote and can power Argon Mk3?
Yes, it's 1W per channel on the DX3 pro. It's pretty powerful for a cheap all-in-one. You can connect almost anything to it (even your phone/tablet with bluetooth aptx hd) and switch between them with the remote (sadly no USB HID transport controls or direct access keys for each input on the...- eugenius

Amp that has a remote and can power Argon Mk3?
1. The cheapest that comes to mind is the Topping DX3 pro for a bit over 200$. It also has a headphone amp that will probably make the Atom superfluous. :) 2. Buying noname / cheap is a false economy, when resale is taken into account you end up spending more money in the end. There are cheaper...- eugenius

Amp that has a remote and can power Argon Mk3?
Options: 1. Replace your DAC with something that has a remote and digital volume control and use that when away from the headphone amp. 2. Insert a remote controlled preamp between the DAC and the headphone amp (Schiit Saga comes to mind, adds roll-able tube buffer for extra sound flavor).- eugenius

Recommendations for high-end DAC with no volume control
The RME is a much better buy but an all-in-one isn't what you asked for in this thread. And I still think the Qutest is a little better in pure SQ than the RME. As for the cringe factor, I understand. Owning a singlepower tube amp would make me cringe as well ... :D- eugenius

Sony NW-A50 Series
Good players like the Sony NW-A55 have nothing to worry about from phones. Phones have crappy battery life today as it is. As for phones like LG, try to use a high end full size headphone with it and the battery dies pronto. If a manufacturer was serious about making a phone into a workable...- eugenius
