    SONY IER-Z1R

    I just can't stress how much I love these IEM's, after switching to HD800S for a few months (paired with a decent tube amp) I still come back to the Z1R for the intimacy and the BASS that hits just the right spot. I really don't know if there's anything that's significantly better than the...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Does plugging in 2 sets of headphones decrease the volume going into each of them? I'm having 1 output into an external amp (xDuoo TA-20) which is turned off while I use the other output to my Sony IER-Z1R. It doesn't sound like the volume is decreased while I use the IEM, but I just wanted to...

    any inputs on this? I did change the 3.5mm->RCA cable to a better shielded one which made a HUGE difference in the noise floor. Still wondering whether it's necessary to use also a balanced input to get the most benefits out of a balanced output. I read that balanced cables are primarily...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    I was under the impression that Mojo 2 has a better DAC than the amp, similar to the Mojo 1. This is not the case? Sure it can drive IEM's and low impedance full sized headphones, but there are amps better suited for headphones that require more power?

    I added the xDuoo TA-20 recently and it really boosted the bass, I was previously using +5 and I feel like anything more than +3 is too much. The amp REALLY made me realize how much an amp helps on top of the Mojo 2. I see, if the EQ on the Mojo is more transparent I might as well use just...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    If I were to use EQ for my HD800S, would it be more advisable to use the EQ on the Mojo 2 itself, or to use a parametric EQ like Equalizer APO (or both)? I'm currently using the Mojo 2 EQ (+3 / +1 / -1 / -1) but cannot but think that the parametric EQ on the PC can be more fine tuned, although...

    How much more heavier is the Utopia compared to the HD800S? Can you draw some quick comparisons between the 2?

    I recently got the TA-20 from a recommendation to pair with my HD800S via Mojo 2 as DAC. Will using the unbalanced RCA input from the Mojo 2 degrade the quality of the balanced output to the HD800S? I'm also using a 4.4mm->XLR adapter since the updated HD800S doesn't include the XLR anymore. I...

    The TA-20 has a great price and I like its small form factor, headfonia says it pairs well with the Mojo as well as the HD800S too. How does it compare to the likes of Woo, Pathos or the Mainline?

    After EQ settings, the bass is strong enough. I don't think it would get as bassy as one of the most best IEM's for bass (IER-Z1R), but it's enough I think. I've listened to it for a few days now and my ears are adjusting. I do miss my old amp driving the HD800 (Mainline), but I'm also...

    The box says it's made in Ireland, does that mean it's the new revision?

    Mine's pretty bright without EQ, but using the Mojo 2 EQ I got it to a very good point (sub bass +5, bass +1, mid/treble -2, high treble -1). My IER-Z1R's are supposed to have hot trebles but they were nothing compared to this lol. My ears got used to the HD800S's today and they feel very good...

    that's great! Will try this. I just got it and it's definitely "anemic" compared to my IER-Z1R's which are pretty bassy. Also, are the EQ settings automatically saved per headphone or would I have to change it back every time I use the IEM's?

    Just bought the HD800S from the above deal. I'm using a Mojo 2 with my IER-Z1R. Previously had a Mojo 1 paired with a Mainline amp to feed my HD800, and it was a beautiful combo. I've since sold most of my headgear and mostly use speakers now. I don't plan on getting a large desktop amp again...

    I don't particularly like tube amps, but was just wondering if the Mojo 2 has sufficient power to power a HD800S. I was going to use a parametric EQ like Equalizer APO to boost the lower end and tame the highs a bit.

    Just got the Mojo 2, def an upgrade from the Mojo 1 for my IER Z1R. I was previously too cheap to make this upgrade, but glad I did. Is there any difference running the micro USB vs the USB-C to connect to my desktop?

    That's well put, perhaps the Mojo OG is a very good pair with the Z1R. I feel like the bass is already at a point where I don't think I can handle or prefer more bass, as I use the comply foam tips which accentuates the bass quite a bit. The Mojo OG is indeed my only source for my Z1R, aside my...

    Currently using the Mojo 1 as a desktop amp for my Sony IER-Z1R IEM. Would it be a major upgrade for me to upgrade to the Mojo 2? I don't play on traveling at all with this, 100% desktop amp on my desktop PC. I don't currently hear any floor hiss with the Z1R so I don't think it's a super...

    I'm sure like many of you, the ear hooks on my stock cables are absolutely disgustingly sticky now. I'm looking either for a way to replace just the outside plastic wrap, or any budget (but still very comparable to stock) replacement cables? I'm mostly using the unbalanced cables to my Mojo...

    OMG, at least I didn't remove the whole thing. But the foam part was literally breaking down and bit and pieces of it were just dropping out so I cleaned it up a bit. I listened to it again with the new comply foam tips, and don't notice much of a difference thankfully. Is there anyway of...

    So I finally took out my comply tips after about a year of using them without changing them, and I found these black fuzzy cloth material inside the nozzle. I tried to take it out but it seems to be pretty difficult. I'm not sure if I'm taking out something that I'm not supposed to take out...
