MOJO + DHC interconnect waiting patiently to work with my SHURE KSE1500. This will be a neat 3 pcs brick






In the mean time I am using AK100+MOJO with my HE-X with my just received DHC Cable.

I think the Mojo/KSE1500 combination is truly beautiful because both Chord and Shure prize transient response as a cornerstone of audio enjoyment.

And yet, bizarrely, Shure felt compelled to force an unnecessary DAC into the KSE1500 product. That really irritates me.

I only engage the DAC when flying to minimize my portable stack. One look at the design of the KSE DAC/amp (a simple USB/ line in switch, an analog pad and analog input) and I believe you can see Shure engineers understood most would use an analog input. I look on the addition of the DAC as a nice little extra.

Well, DAC notwithstanding, I don't doubt that the KS1500 sounds great with acoustic recordings. I look forward to hearing it one day.

Is MOJO+ KSE1500 better than HUGO+KSE1500 ??

In my opinion (although anything anyone posts is their opinion) yes. The slight warmth of the Mojo pairs really well with the KSE. The Hugo comes across as more clinical paired with the KSE1500.

I use Audirvana with Tidal. While the exclusive or other modes are all bit perfect, these programs, by accessing the USB connection direct, supposedly eliminate all the USB negotiation, throttling and other things that go on apart from sending audio. Since the USB receiver on the other end, having to do less processing, generates and injects less electrical noise into the DAC, the sound quality is supposed to improve. 

Thanks Currawong for the explanation

This will not be relevant to most Mojo users, but for the few of you who are interested in Rob's ADC project, you might care to read this

And what of windows users...aside from $$$
roon...anything?

What exactly does Amarra do that improves the sound quality? Considering Tidal has an "exclusive" mode that bypasses OSX and talks directly to the Mojo, I assumed that meant it would be bit perfect.

Roger that.

Yeah, relationships are the number two driver of the second-hand personal audio market (after upgrade-itis).

I've been on a head-fi hiatus for about 5yrs... Picked up a mojo last week and OMG!! Damn hobby has it's claws into me again.

Using JHAUDIO Roxanne customs with it, and in love

My advice is to be very careful that no-one ever tells you about Rob's TOTL DAC, 'DAVE'.
 
 
Ooops...

Saw a Mojo today at the Spring headfi meet. It was used alongiside a Stax combo. I also tried it with other headphones that were around.

Just found out that with the Mojo, EQ won't work with Deezer or Spotify (Android 6). Is there a solution for this? Any EQ you have tested that works?
