This means Dave is the cleanest soundwise ?

I won't use the word 'cleanest' here. I will say it is certainly the most accurate DAC compared to the other in terms of converting from digital domain to analog domain. In plain English, it is a better DAC as the word DAC stands for.

would the sine wave for hugo and mojo be jagged because of the presence of jitter in the stream, or is some other anomaly causing it?

Now which DAC can be considered portable ?

According the website (which I added in the post),  both use Audio Precision SYS2722 system for the measurements. I am not familiar with 2722, but it should consider jitter in stream. Perhaps, someone more familiar with the tool can answer your question. If you are asking why the output sin weave like that, then the answer is DAC inefficiency. It does not map the digital input signal correctly to analog. That is very hard to achieve perfectly. Perhaps, that is one reason why dave is so awesome 
 

Now which DAC can be considered portable ?

I will say mojo, but this is my personal opinion. If you have hugo, but you are not okay with the size and you want something more portable, then mojo is an attractive option for you. Certainly, it is better than many portable DACs in the market.

I would recommend the Sennheiser IE800 with the Mojo.  It is insanely good with the Mojo.  If you don't like the stock tips, there are comply tips that work.  At the current prices, it is a good deal.

rather than jitter, perhaps due to the differences in the number of taps in Mojo versus Hugo versus DAVE, which would affect the reconstruction of the original analog waveform from the digitised recording?

The cleanest on our univers

that is plausible

Just got my Pure II. I've had three hours with the critical darling Mojo/Pure II combo. With Laylas. And wow! This is very close to end game
 
IF SOMEONE ON EARTH MADE A TRANSPORTER THAT WOULD FIT THE MOJO
 
It would be so sweet, if they made one. The ak100 isn't it - too big for triple-stacking and too slow for comfort. The Mojo amp alone was insufficient to provide the 12 driver monster Laylas with the kind of juice they needed to sound full and not veiled, but with he Pure II -- flawless detail, dynamics and tonality...
 
LOOOKING FOR A TRANSPORTER
 
My full impressions of the combo are here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/698734/vorz-ge-vorzamp-pure-ii-review-and-impressions/660
 
In short, only the soundstage could be wider. Otherwise 9.5 / 10. The perfect amp for the Mojo. Sound signature and physical dimensions are a match made in heaven.

[Mojo ideas]

I'll take one... will they be available with US distributors, or will you sell them direct?

From our distributors and retailers

I'm curious: what is the benefit of a case for mojo? Its aluminum shell is gorgeous!

I want to be able to mount Mojo to my Nexus 5 and at the same time don't want any adhesive on Mojo's shell

A coupe of key scratches here and there. To be honest, it is useless. Don't even bother, spend your money on a dinner much better. Unless you live in a cold place, covering mojo in summer is a really bad idea. It will be cooked like a steak inside your pocket

. 
 
Personally, I went with the Pelican 1020 case. It is a very protective case. The main disadvantage of this solution is that you cannot use mojo in your packet. If that is ok with you, then go for it

Yeah but can put the Mojo say ten minutes in your pocket then take it out hold it while walking then put it in for awhile. The Mojo really cools down really fast once out of the pocket.
