Hi all, thanks for your replies. I managed to solve it, issue was hiby was exporting as 44khz so I just had to go into settings and select "exclusive HQ USB audio access" to enable bit perfect output.

Yes indeed. . (Cable quality is another matter as you can by some USB c to micro for £100?). Also I'm not sure if I should have the volume on my phone low and boost on the Mojo? Using Hiby to play SACD ISO. Maybe there's another explanation as I listen via my phone on the train so there's...

Hi all, I have a Mojo 2, and noticed it sounds ignificantly better when plugging into my PC than my android phone. I would have thought the DAC would produce consistant sound form both as the data input should be the same? Am I total noob in thinking this? Do I need a better phone for audio...

My thoughts with the Aeons exactly.

I got to demo the Stellia yesterday, (it's definitely not a closed back utopia), and have tried the Elegia and AF closed 1. The Stellias was better than bother obviously, but in some ways I found the Elegia more "fun" and more of a headphoney, hifi sound. The stellia was more natural, silky...

Ah makes sense, no reason why fashion and function can't co-exist! Have a great day too.

Saw a guy wear a pair of these on the tube in blue. They look quite exquisite. But never hear audiophiles talking about them vs similarly priced closed backs such as the Oppo-PM3s or Mezze 99 classics.

Do you know how they fair to the Stellia?

I tried the Elegia from a chord Mojo connected to my phone. Sounded great to me, a step up from my B&W P9s in every way Bass was tighter more textured, soundstage was wider, more detail in the mid-range. Does using a balanced cable really make that much of a difference? The Chord Mojo has no...

Well played Romania :)

Maybe the OP was Bulgarian? (My wife's Bulgarian so I can make these jokes :p) tbh honest I'm more shocked by a French product being great (Focal) than Romanian. But I'm English so I would say that!

I'd also like to see a comparison with the Elegia. I preferred those to the AFC, due to the overly laid back nature of the latter.

Chord Mojo for me, so far I've tried the iFi Nano BL and Spectra Nextdrive - the Mojo bests them all in detail and power. Plus I like the buttons.

Hi all, I've been looking at expensive dedicated DAPs like the A&K cube, apart from conveneince and looks would this provide better SQ than a chord mojo tethered to a smart phone with a hi-res player such as hiby? Grateful for any insight. Thanks, Alex

Good way of putting it. If you like the B&W sound, these are exquisite.

I didn't spend a lot of time with them, but from memory the sound stage seemed wider with the Elegias, separation is about the same. The Elegia's were more forward, especially the vocals and so from a psychological perspective, you notice some details less. Where as with the AF everything is...

I got to try the Elegia and Aeon Flow Closed side by side. The Aeon Flows were much more laid back, relaxed, a bit anaemic in my opinion, but more neutral. I think the new Aeon Flows 2 are a bit more punchy.

Had these headphones for about a week now. Very musical, warm, analouge vibe, a lot of fun. Like that cool substitute teacher you had at school who was really just a grown up pupil like you - you didn't really learn much, but you enjoyed your time with them. Bass is puncy, and clarity is there...
