Yes, I would agree that Mojo2 is worth the extra 200. Don't think twice.

The Mojo 2 is more than enough for the SE and Organic. Not sure about 1/2 because I haven't heard those with the Mojo 2.

I found that A/B testing is not as reliable as living with the DAC for a couple of weeks and then going back to the other one. I had an XDuoo X5 Pro and then got the OG Mojo. It was difficult to tell much of a difference upon A/B testing. But after living with the Mojo only for some time and...

Yeah, the treble response on the D7000 truly is a thing of beauty.

Spent about an hour today listening to the D7000, and left really wanting to buy it. I had gone to the shop to spend some time with the Arya Organic, which I did, and thoroughly enjoyed. But there was a new D7000 on the counter so I said what the hell. Couldn't stop listening to it. Improved...

I had this too. A little shot of Silicone Spray fixed it, and the creaking hasn't returned after more than a year.

That won't fit Arya cups.

I've been a Steven Wilson fan since I joined this forum back in 2006 and was turned on to Porcupine Tree at the time, so I may be a little biased, but Holy****MeSideways this album is one of, if not his absolute best recordings. And that's saying something. Damn, thank you Steven.

I joined when I was 40. I got my first IEMs for my 40th birthday from my wife. I don't remember exactly, but I think there were Shures. Now, 17 years later, I guess I'm very close to becoming an old fart.

Unfortunately, the HEK is not an option for me because of the real leather headband. I think I'll continue to save for the Arya. Market price for a used Stealth model here in Japan is 85,000 yen right now or about US$575. New Organics are JPY195,000 so more than twice as much, and it will...

Does anyone have any experience with both of these headphones? I listen to a wide variety of music; everything from Bebop to Electronic to Classical. Staples though are things like Snarky Puppy, Steely Dan (and most 70s classic / prog rock stuff), Rock Candy Funk Party, Steven Wilson, Pat...

The addition of crossfeed and transparent EQ alone made it more than worth the upgrade for me. When I tuned my cans to my liking using the EQ, the difference between the OG and the 2 were instantly recognizable. I'm 56 and have mild tinnitus in my right ear. I feel ya.

I'd like to try it out sometime.

What are you comparing it to?

I can't say that I've tested the XS with other DAC/Amps, but I can recommend the Chord Mojo 2 without hesitation. Soundstage, imaging, and clarity are all excellent, and the ability to transparently EQ has been a game changer for me.

Open it up. Check the battery. Contact XDuoo customer support. Bin it. Take your pick.

I applied a little silicone spray into the rotation points and haven't had any creaking since. It's been months.

Meditation. Gratitude. The urge to get another headphone, amp, DAC, whatever, is usually just that... an urge. If you meditate, you learn to let things like that pass, then return your focus to something else. In this case, for me it's the music. So once I find something that works for me (in...

They're all I've got, and paired with a Mojo 2 being fed by a WiiM Mini, they're all I need. I I think this setup could really be endgame for most people. Having said that, I'm more of a music lover than a headphone lover, so take it with a grain of salt. I may check out the Arya Organic when...

For EQ it's Mojo2 for me. Most transparent implementation of EQ I've heard. Unfortunately, it's only 4-band. But when the Hugo3 comes out with 10-band, I'll be all over that thing (here's hoping)! I really liked the features and customizability of Peace/APO, but was always bothered by the...

Anybody else mount their Mojo under the desk? I don't use it as a mobile device, so I've double-sided taped it to the underside of my desk. Also under there feeding the Mojo is a WiiM Mini. The mini is simply plugged in to a power bar that's also under the desk, making for a pretty clean setup...

Yeah, I've had the chance to audition the Stealth, and from what I remember your comments seem to be spot on from what I was thinking when listening to them. The clarity, precision and detail really put a smile on my face, so it was all I could do to not immediately pull the trigger.

I've been tempted by the Arya Stealth, as it certainly offers a nice upgrade to my Edition XS. But, I really love the XS and don't feel like I'm missing much when I'm listening to them, so I haven't really been in a big hurry to pull the trigger. In the end, I'm glad I didn't, as I would like...

Yeah, don't let the looks fool you. It's an incredibly capable DAC/amp.

Ha. Only just a bit then. Thanks.
