  Guys im still no clearer as to what IEm to pair with my Mojo...EX1000 or AJG 3003i...i can get either for 400gbp. 

 
well i'm testing my newly arrived trinity delta v2 (have tried 3 filters) against the sony 7550 (similar to ex800/ex1000)
and i can understand why these older sony 7550 (and 800/1000ex) babies are still so popular...and i haven't taped the vents like the bassheads like to do.
they're monitors remember...so are pretty detailed and balanced, more neutral...and you'll really hear the quality of the recordings
...still working on fit with new tips coming in.
 
just remember the ex1000/7550 etc are not meant to walk around with as they're not flush to the ear...so wind noise is an issue...they were made for studio use, after all....thus for walking around look at something else...but they still kick ass for price point.
 
for a great bang for buck backup consider the new 1more e1001....good run for money against similarly priced $100 vsonic gr07 classic.
again, however, my ears aren't as refined as many on here, so take it for what it's worth.

would love to hear someone compare these older sony 7550 models to the new campfire andromedas or flc 8s (I have the flc 8s coming in too).
 
will hook 'em up to mojo soon (sorry am being lazy and running dragonfly red right now)

canali I own both ex1000 and EX800st, also had the flc8s on loaner. I'd take either over the flc8s, and it's not even close for me. Not that the flc8s sounded bad, far from it, but the Sonys are just untouchable. They do everything better, other than having different filters. I found the filter system to be a hassle. I'd prefer to set it once and that's it. There is basically nothing I've heard, within $1k difference that compares to the Sonys.

I'm looking forward to my K10s to compare.

hey warrior1975.
i hear you on the 'set it and forget it'...just got in the trinity delta v2, and have tried 3 different filters....none of the configurations thus far
imo can hold a candle to the sony's one balanced all embracing sound... so far at least....amazing that an iem over 4 yrs old
can still hold weight..even makes you bassheads happy by sealing the vent.
 
but i just had to try the flc 8s...esp with the hype, you know how it is. so they should arrive in a few weeks.
otherwise one has to step up in $$$$ to the campfire andromeda or translucent p5 or rhapsodio, or jh or ak liquid metal series ...etc etc.
 
i'll pm you so i don't divert this thread.

So the Dyson right angle from the above post would be a good choice for DX80 to MoJo?


They make good cables at reasonable prices. Just let him know what you want and he'll do it for you if you don't see it on his site, or simply to confirm at checkout.

Tralucent Plus 5 is really amazing. For me to listen to an IEM with less bass... Says a lot. Excellent with the Mojo as well. Add Headstage Arrow 5tx, bass boost on... Near perfection. Mojo keeps it dead silent, adds the magic of the dac, Headstage adds bass. Doesn't get much better for a portable setup.

Not taking away from the flc8s. Best filter system I've used, most sonic changes. Beats out both rha and Shure Se846. Great IEMS, I just have others I prefer.

I already bought the $30 right angle one and was wondering if its the right configuration.


Ah! It should be as the DX80 doesn't share coax with the line-out. Make sure to report how you like it when you get it!!

Cool Thanks!! Are you still using the X5ii with your Mojo?

To add to what Relic said above, for the right angle cable, you may want to request for the Right Angle TRS connectors. The default Right Angle TS Plastic connectors doesn't exactly scream quality. I can confirm that the TRS pin works on the Mojo's end. You can ask in the DX80 thread how the TRS pin should be configured for coax out.

Here is the plastic Right Angle TS connector:


And here is the Right Angle TRS connector:


My cable to connect my Fiio X3ii and Mojo:

I just emailed him and told them what my setup is so hopefully they'll read it first before sending it.

Off and on. I just ripped 50 CD's of the Decca Sound box set and loaded them all on the AK240's internal memory so I've been using that lately. When I get around to loading them on the mSD card for the X5ii I'll probably switch over to that.

I agree with EagleWings, the right angle TRS looks much better. It should work with the DX80 as well without issue but you did the right thing by emailing them.
