@Hyde00 for desktop only use to drive headphones directly or just using it as a dac to drive active speakers? What exactly is your use case?

@Another Audiophile oh it will be for headphone only. And driving it directly. Headphone is Denon D5200 (24 Ohm). Currently just using Dragonfly Red directly on my PC. Goal was to find Dragonfly Red upgrade which offered a somewhat lush mid range and forward vocal.

I think I was intrigued by the Mojo sound signature. But I'm guessing iFi offer similar warm sound? Just wondering because most gear these days try to go for neutral/analytical or distant vocal and that isn't what I want. Thanks!

@Hyde00 the sound difference was very small as I explained in my review and is all down to features. For a desktop only I would pick the mojo because of its feature to be on desktop mode when constantly connected. Therefore you plug it and forget it.

@Another Audiophile yeah I was wondering if there's other desktop options that would fit the bill. But it sounds like Mojo 2 might just be what I'm looking for. Ok I'll wait for it to arrive first (on the way) before I do anything else lol. Thanks!!!

Great review! How did the mojo 2 and gryphon compare when you used single 3.5mm cable wit mojo 2 and 4.4mm cable with the gryphon? Usually, balanced 4.4mm gives me more soundstage/detail etc. Comparing 3.5mm and 4.4mm connection wiht other DACs, I've always found that 4.4mm sounded better. Whats you take?

@Edyeded86 other than power I didn't observe any difference in the sound. The 3.5 from the mojo 2 is more powerful compared to the Gryphon's 3.5 power.

Very nice review. Thanks. I’m not sure if you can help me: is it serious better than a Fiio BTR5?
used with a Campfire Andromeda.

@Simple Man I have the BTR5 and is different use case all together. As a purely bluetooth device I wouldn't call it better but slightly different. If you just want a portable device to connect your mobile and use the Andromeda on the go then the BTR5 is a better solution.

Find Mojo2 struggling with 300 ohm headphones tbh.

Mojo 2 outputs 90mW at 300 ohms

Guess needs balls to the walls, Diablo Gryphon Black as Night, edition.

Hi, I'm Lorenzo, from Italy.
Do you think the Gryphon works with Audeze LCD 2?

Hello @lollorenzo I have the LCD-X, LCD-XC and LCD-MX4. The gryphon easily drove all these headphones. I don't see why it couldn't drive the LCD-2 with 70ohms impedance and 101dB/1mW efficiency. Is not as efficient as mine but I don't think you will have a problem.

Thanks! What portable amp/dac do you use?

I have to decide to buy the Gryphon or the Fio Q7...

@lollorenzo when I am out I use only IEMs and either the Sony WM1AM2, mojo2 or the Apple dongle

Do you think Mojo2 will works well also with the LCD 2?

@lollorenzo sure. Plenty of power for that. I drive my HD800s and HD6XX with the mojo2 with no issues.

Also without balanced output?

The Mojo2 doesn't have balanced output. The gryphon I used mainly the balanced.

Thanks Another Audiophile for replies and your help!

For my new Audeze LCD 2 I have to decide between:
• Fiio Q7: used but practically new, good price; ...but at home I have a Topping DX7 Pro
• Mojo 2: also used but practically new, good price (and eventually possibility tu buy also Poly at reasonable price)
• iFi Gryphon: new at good price (I like the fact its "all in one")

All are good devices. So, it's down to use case and what you want from a device. If you just want portable wired solution then the Mojo2 is a solid option.
