$100k? Damn. Crazy. I want implying it was over priced, just expensive for me. Plus, my ears probably wouldn't hear much difference. Still would love to hear it.

The price is actually pretty reasonable if you look at it this way  - there is only one other DAC manufacturer that uses its own FPGA circuit for its DACs, rather than stuffing stock ICs into fancy boxes, and the stuff that other manufacturer makes has a price tag of over $100K. 

Do you mind to reveal the other company?

Probably some obscure name that most won't know.

dCS - the latest flagship is the Vivaldi system. Also Goldmund has some really good offerings but I think DAC is not something that it specialises in. Goldmund has recently made a headphone amp for what it is worth - go and have a look at is price tag - the headphone amp is the cheapest product of the house.

Dave seems to be very well received, but at $13k, way out of my budget. I'd love to hear it and I am extremely curious as to how it sounds. I can't imagine it would be a tremendous improvement, but likely I'll never know.

You are talking about PS Audio ?

How about Dave?

 
Not had the chance to listen yet, and out of my price range. But hope to at London Canjam, out of curiosity.

Try here.

I bought two ... they work fine ... Retina MacBook to Mojo.

Thank @Torq unfortunately they do not ship to the UK

I had a chance to demo Chord DAVE and the Hugo TT back to back recently with my LCD-X, I personally have Mojo and Hugo.  I was very very impressed by the TT, I found it a bigger jump in sound quality from the Hugo to the TT than the Mojo to Hugo (I prefer the Hugo to Mojo but the Mojo is very close).  DAVE however is another whole level better than the TT, it was simply sublime and now all I can think of is how I can justify £8k on a DAC, but would be very also happy with the TT.

I hate you for making me want to drop 20K CAD on the Dave. :veryevil:

Nice report though, thanks! :wink_face:

Used a Mojo over the last 10 days, finally managed to send the native sample rate to the Mojo - power light indicates accordingly. Using J River for the PC and USB audio player pro for my Nexus 6 phone. I would also like to use USB Audio Player Pro with my Sony ZX1 Walkman but Google Play Store indicates the device is incompatible. I contacted the developer who said "The ZX1 requires root to be able to modify some wrong USB configuration files, otherwise the Play Store will think your device has no USB host capabilities". Can anyone who is using the ZX1 with the Mojo and USB Audio Player Pro advise how they have done this please?

Chord posted the price will be $95.  Kinda steep if you ask me.

strange things happening. mojo and Hugo produce so realistic a sound from digital files that now a days sound from other digital players in shopping malls etc feels so crap. both mojo and Hugo are blurring the boundary of real and recorded sound. today itself a small dog was hiding between the legs of a scooter driver and i thought the barking sound was coming some where from within the scooter . I meant now I am becoming habitual of recorded sound sounding realistic so much more realistic than ever before.
