Wow! It is as if everyone has forgotten how expensive Chord products are. Before Mojo there was pretty much nothing for less than a few thousand dollars/pounds/euros and the average price point was much high than this. It is a small miracle (no pun intended) that they even made the Mojo and...

That is pretty frickin awesome. I was saving up for a Chird Mojo - but this is way cooler. It will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the competition

            Bestula - I think you are putting a challenge down to the people who are sceptical of the possibility of big (or any) improvements between different USB cables....  Maybe this is for another forum!

Thanks for your impressions - very interesting.  I was surprised to hear that the Mojo can hold its own with the Linn system - which must be many multiples of the Mojo in terms of price.

interesting arrangement - I would be interested to hear why you have chosen 4 components in the chain rather than a simple two component chain (iPod Touch and Mojo).  Did you test all the various combinations (ie by adding/ removing components)?  Any observations you can share?

Yep!  I had it in my basket yesterday and almost pressed buy but remembered in time that I am out of money this month!  Amazon make it too easy - they even deliver same day or on a Sunday to fuel your impulse buying...   Hope you enjoy the Mojo!  Let us know how you get on!

Thanks - that is very helpful. A much tidier solution than using the CCK!

According to the Chord website Q&A you need the CCK for Hugo, are you saying that for th Mojo there is no need for the CCK if you get a micro-sub to lightening cable? Or does the Taobao have some special trick up its sleeve?

  If I understand your question correctly, using the same cans/ iems and the Mojo (and the same resolution of music, etc), it should make no difference at all what DAP you use - the sound should be identical.  Which DAP you want to use will come down to what you already have, convenience...

Ah - that makes sense - let us know how the comparison goes!

I don't understand why the AK320's DAC chip is relevant if using it with the Mojo.  The Mojo is the DAC so all the AK320 is doing is sending the bits across -surely those bits are identical whether you use an AK320, AK380 or a much cheaper DAP? or am I missing something?

very classy!

Thanks Cagin (and moedawg140) for your write ups and photos.  Almost made up for me missing it (again) this year.  At least I got to hang out with Uncle Wilson's disciples at Jaben in Kuala Lumpur...

Just as I get my credit card bills under control, this comes along.  Thanks a lot...

Indeed there are!  I think this probably has already been extensively covered in this thread and others but the 6080 numbering is US, anything starting with CV is British Military (CV2984 is the 6080 equivalent and the typically used for Mullard) and the continental European labeling is ECC230. ...

I can second that - I have found Langrex excellent to deal with and a great source of tubes - especially Mullard

I am in! Based in London, UK and would prefer UK baed but will extend to Europe as long as postage cost do not exceed the cost of gift!

White leather? I would have thought a nice brown or tan leather case would go well with silver....

Yep the Music industry just doesn't get it. Nothing stopping me for buying a CD from the US but I can't buy a download. The main reason for this is so they can charge more in certain markets. In the meantime, those that really want the high res downloads unavailble in their home market are left...

Thanks!  That is very helpful. I find the DT880 revealing and neutral and certainly not bass heavy (and perhaps slightly emphasized treble) -- imho.  do you find the Hugo complements the DT880? or does it overemphasize some of these characteristics? I know matching is not an exact science but...

OK, so I am useless at finding things in this forum from even a few days ago (though in my defence this thread does move along!) so I'll dive in and ask a question which I have not been able to find an answer to. Has anyone tried using the Hugo with 600ohm headphones and in particular the DT880...
