Thanks for the Elaborate reply, I really do get what you're saying. and it makes a lot of sense. The sound I'm looking for is large soundstage, good detail and neutrality. I'm not a fan of overpowering bass presence, Currently, My setup is Mojo with a Shanling m1, and its exactly what I'm hoping to get. I'm looking for a DAP which can replace this, with somewhat similar sound as carrying a Transport+mojo around can become very difficult for me and I would like to shift to a single solution. Currently I'm considering Fiio X7, Fiio X5-iii, Cayin N3, and Aune m1s. I'm OK with not having android or Bluetooth and I can even handle clumsy UI, But SQ is the most important factor. If the SQ of x5-iii is on par with mojo, or close to mojo then I would go for the fiio as it has android. But I'm really intrigued by the simplicity of the Aune and Cayin and if they can deliver SQ on par with mojo I would really like to get a simpler more dedicated dap instead.
I had the Mojo and paired it with Android phones or Shanling M1. But I got rid of it despite it sounding rather musical with good PRAT; that is mainly because the Mojo is warm sounding and rather colored, in my opinion.
I received the M1s recently and really appreciated the neutral tuning of it.
If you really like the Mojo, you may or may not like Aune M1s as that depends on how much deviation from the Mojo can you take.
