Hi all! Is it sensible to use both the Chord Mojo togather with the AR-M2 in order to get the best sound out of the Beyerdynamic T1 gen2s? Or would it be better to get a headphone amp like the Beyerdynamic A20 for the best sound?
 
Thanking you in advance!

The technology already exists. It just benefits the major NAND Flash factories to build enterprise products, because they can charge alot more for the same silicon.
 
32 GB eMMC chip: ($29.33 each)

Here's another example; (48GB per chip)

And another by a competitor; (48GB per chip)

Here's another one... just 6 days ago they released the Intel 600p drive, single sided NVME drive with -two- 3D V-NAND TLC chips they can get up to 1TB.

I wish these mobile electronic designers would consider just making it a plug in module. What I've noticed is micro sd cards typically use binned flash chips.

Not sure I understand? the Class-A amp and Burr-Brown DACs in the M2 are at least as good as the Mojo - You do not need an external DAC or a headphone amp at all

Hello from Germany....

I own a Opus1 DAP, but I read very, very good things about the M2 ....is there any comparsion to the M2?

Cheers
Stephan


The M2 is twice the price of the Opus1 and many many times better. The M2 easily stands comparison with the very best players in the market at far higher prices.

Hi, what are the advantages\disadvantages of the AR-M2 over the Astell and Kern AK300 with the AK AMP ?
 
Is the DAC of the AR-M2 better than the one of the AK300?
 
 
Thank you in advance!
