Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

I hope this helps:  here is the breakdown:

Order was placed on 10/16.  I paid $83.77 (including shipping) for the case, and $435.69 (including shipping) for the Mojo.  They were sent in 2 separate packages, hence maybe slightly higher shipping charges?  I feel a little bad about taking advantage of the pounds' currency deflation......... on the other hand, maybe it is karmic balance from when I was married to a Brit and had to take his relatives to the outlet mall every time they visited. 

  Every.  Single.  Visit. 

Wow thats amazing, Im hoping to sell my iDSD Micro soon to fund this. Hopefully it will stay that price for awhile.

I would buy a mojo again, but they don't pair well with the Campfire Andromedas................so I guess I have to find an alternative.

Buy my DSD Micro!

That is my last big purchase for a while.  I can get away with buying cheap IEMs from China,

but I am on a spending hiatus for a while...... I convinced Husband to go to Cam Jam in NYC, so I am trying not to buy stuff, as we are still negotiating what my Cam Jam budget will be.

Seriously considering buying a second Mojo as a gift through Amazon UK and having it shipped here to the states. The shipping speed you received was impressive. Was that normal shipping or Global Priority may I ask? BTW, is the Mojo you received the newer vintage with the inscribed housing or like mine with the sticker - just curious.

Hell no, that would be really strange )

Ha ok , by having a second look at it , it's sort of a nice looking piece of leather .
Pricing is quite reasonable consider it's a handmade+ free shipping leather .

So thank for sharing

M1 is a good pair. But imo a used ak100 + Sysconcept is the best match.

After a lot of reviewing I will be going with the Fiio X3ii for various reasons, only downfall is only 1 mSD slot. I like the scroll wheel and UI is simple, real native DSD playback. The form factor with the two is really close and I like Coax connection the best. Have you tried this combo before?

Try the Sony Walkman A15/16/17 or the A25/26/27. Very portable and amazing UI. But the battery life will be brought down to 10-15Hrs when used as a digital transport for a DAC. As a standalone player it can last close to 35-40Hrs.
 
Your other options are as suggested: Fiio X3ii, AK100.
 
I hear the Hidizs AP60 will soon receive an update that will enable it to be used as a digital transport for DACs.

You should have waited till her birthday and just swap birthday and Christmas present... Now when you give her the birthday present as well, you will most likely cave and buy her another 'small thing' for Christmas...

Hm or is this thinking the reason I'm single?

Shoulda woulda coulda, but....
 
she is so happy!  
 
Sharing Mojo was fun, but we do have different moods for different music and the savings is significant!   UK Amazon shipped immediately and all is well!

The Mojo will give you about the best sound that the SR80e has to give.....
however the 325e IMHO is a big step up - esp in the bass reach, definition and weight,
but also giving a more refined and detailed sound, with better soundstage, layering and imaging.
 
Still, if the 80e is your maximum amount....the Mojo will do it justice. 
However you may get upgrade-iris and later want a better hp; if the 325e has
the signature that agrees it's a better long term bet for musical satisfaction.
Some find the high end of the 325e's too sharp...I can understand that esp. if you listen at louder levels....
I listen at pretty low volumes where the qualities of the 325e really benefit. So
be sure to audition whenever buying any audio equipment...one man's meat is another's poison.
 
I also think that the 325e is likely the most economical Grado to really reveal the sq of a dac/amp such as Mojo.
 
BTW I bought my last two Grado's used...good way to get the best 
value (from a reliable seller of course).

Have you (or anyone) paired Mojo with Ether Flow?
Now I am using Mojo with Ety ER-4PT and HD600 and I would like to complete it with planar technology in Ether Flow price range.
Any other alternative to Ether Flow in planar space?

Yeah you got a good point there.
How about a pair of Nighthawks as a Christmas gift. They are also offered at a great price right now

Mine are still burning in, but they are really special and at about 350$ they are a no Brainer and a nice compliment to your T1s, I would say.
Together with Mojo this is the sub 1k combo to beat.

Cheers

I agree with audi0nick128 in the Nighthawk recommendation. At $350 they're a steal, and Skylar and the other people I've interacted with at audioquest have been super nice. And they sound great with Shanling M1 + Mojo

Tonally different, but I prefer HiFiMAN Edition X for a planar in this general price range and you can pick up the original at a discount now that HEX v2 has been released. It's going for $1200-1400 at the sites I've looked at. A bonus is that HEX even sounds good straight out of a smartphone. Con is that Ether Flow most likely scales better.
