    Would an amp be benefitial with my Master & Dynamic MW65's

    Sorry ro join/necro this conversation years later. I only just upgraded from MW60 to MW65 and I think I have a lot to contribute to this and indeed any thread on the MW60/65. Unfortunately, no Mojo will help, or any amp. They have a much lower SPL capacity than the MW60, and lost all the bass...

    Thanks, I'll contact them. I think it still helps to have my voice added to the pool though.

    Master & Dynamic MW60 Impressions Thread

    Thanks very much for those detailed observations @erich6. They make me happier about keeping my MW60s and not taking a punt on the MW65. The two apparent changes you mentioned that concern me the most are if Bluetooth volume is any quieter, because I already thought it could use a notch or two...

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    Can someone please help me with advice on getting my (Chord) Mojo fixed? :beyersmile: One of the headphone ports is intermittently cutting out and losing (I think) a channel of audio. The other is fine. So the unit is still very much functional for single-person use, but it's nonetheless...

    Master & Dynamic MW60 Impressions Thread

    I did very much consider the VK1/2 as well, but they are on-ear cans and my ears are very sensitive to pain/fatigue caused by physical compression/clamping on the ear lobes. So it rules out every single on-ear (supra-aural) headphone for me, unfortunately. The MW60 is perhaps the slimmest and...

    Master & Dynamic MW60 Impressions Thread

    Congrats! These headphones deserve a bump! I’m a relatively new owner too, about a month in – and I love them! I plan to write a review that addresses why I love them and why I think they’re pretty great value and an impressive effort from a young brand, but I want to comment on some of the...

    You expect Lavricables not to be biased and selective in his response? In the interest of transparency for this thread I will publish the full transcript of emails to a site in which someone who wishes to take his side might like to see the evidence first. This is not a support experience that...

    You'll simply need a micro-USB to USB-C cable. Many are now popping up. Go for something of reasonable quality but don't spend an excessive amount. I'm on the side that silver isn't necessary for a digital signal, but by all means go for something with robust, quality connectors and cable to...

    Thanks very much for the reply. Obviously the most I could do is report it to a relevant EU authority (I have the purchase receipt and all emails including the initial contact within 6 months reporting the fault). But I'm not expecting a resolution other than what he offered (which I'm not...

    Hi all, I've been away from the thread for a while. Look forward to catching up! Unfortunately I have to report a poor experience with my Lavricables Lightning to Micro-USB cable as it broke/ceased functioning after about 5 months of use. I previously reported that I was very happy with the...

    On a Mac? Use optical while you still can, since Apple seems intent to kill that off in all their cost-cutting wisdom. >:|

    Mojo's Greatest Hits

    Hey thanks. Yeah it's not usually standard CDs I have trouble finding but the high-res ones or in this case a live album that was never released outside the US as far as I'm aware (and only ever released digitally). I sometimes have trouble finding foreign language music too, but I recently...

    Mojo's Greatest Hits

    Sorry if this is off-topic or inappropriate but I'm having real trouble trying to buy some albums from HDTracks and 7digital.com. The problem is they don't sell the vast majority of their catalogues to Australia due to regional content-licensing restrictions. In the case of 7Digital, their...

    Can I just say there's a lot of crap in this thread lately but nobody should blame everyone in the community or discount a device because of certain overly-zealous positive or negative posters or posts that have zero real value when there are so many here that do. It happens everywhere on the...

    The official case is outstanding and very robust. Well worth the asking price. The only shame is it wasn't available at launch because I dropped my first one while caseless and it got a small dent. The case adds more grip and would've protected it. Sadly that unit was subsequently stolen (yes I...

    Mojo shines with highly dynamic source material (I'd say it prefers it, or that could just be my ears too), which includes movies and gaming!

    Well I just got the iPhone 7 (256 GB) and man this is end-game as far as portable audio is concerned for me. I have Mojo with the official case (which is necessary in my opinion) and the iPhone 7 with a slim (but rugged) Tech21 silicone case and the ergonomics couldn't be better. Perfect to...

    Also just tested my Lavricable on iPhone 7 and works perfectly as it was on my iPhone 5s through all versions of iOS 10 I tried (10.0.1 and 10.0.2).  It's a cool little cable that beats the Apple CCK for style at least anyway.   Been listening to Mojo through my little MM-1 computer speakers...

    This thread is really kicking along again! Does anyone (else) have feedback on iAudiogate iOS app from Korg? I have it and I notice it doesn't let you control volume from the app which I assume means it's "bit-perfect". Is that likely? It has a pretty good EQ as well. In iOS 10 you can delete...

    Yeah Mojo (well any good DAC/amp really) really shines with properly dynamic audio of witch films are generally a lot better than modern CDs.   In fact, the apparent standard for dynamism in video may even be a bit too much for music, I don't know.  All I know is that DVD and Bluray audio is...
