Sine is on-ear. is it as comfortable as over-ears like pm-3 and v-moda m-100?

PM-3 is more comfortable, but not as good a headphone. I prefer the Sine. Though, I also have mine modded with larger earpads that make them more comfortable than the PM-3 (using ATH-MSR7 earpads). I did very much enjoy the PM-3 when I had them though.

Is the modding process rather easy? I'm not much of a modder.
Also which one of Sines you've got? Open back or closed back?

Easy to Mod. I'm using closed. Check the Sine thread if you are interested, there is a ton of information there. There is information on the 3D files you will need to get printed to facilitate pad rolling.

Here I don't have the 3D printing options. I saw you mentioned you tested both the msr7 and brainwavz earpads. Can I fit either one without the hassle of using an adapter?

They sound great but over my budget (500-600$)

MrSpeakers AEON is the one to look at for your budget then, and early impressions are very good. Very close to the ETHER line but much more reasonably priced and the Mojo will have no issues driving them.

Guys, i might het a second hand Mojo around 360€, and use it as a desktop amp and dac. I have the Sennheiser HD 598's and grado 125es, not really phones that need amping, but if i can het the best for a good deal it still might be worth it. It will be used in desktop only with Spotify premium as source.
A note: i would actually prefer something that would also be able to run my speakers as well, but this one doesnt, right?

I am not at all a metal guy, but I was hooked on Damnation when it was relased about fourteen years ago. One of the best progessive rock albums I have heard since I bough the Led Zeppelins IV in the beginning of the 70s. Now I'm mostly listen to jazz and classical, and this is one of the few rock albums I'm still enjoying from time to time. Now back to my Mojo and Tomasz Stanko Quartet :)

Interesting you say that, as I'm not big into metal either. One of the few genres I rarely listen to, and when it has growling even less so.

As for the Mojo; it pairs brilliantly with my Shure SRH1540s, but I'm looking to add an open-back to use with it. Have my eye on the T1.2, Amiron, Elear, and LCD-2.

Why not? But I need to be sure it works properly and if RCA to Mono 3.5mm supports digital signal as it looks like as analog signal

I used the Coax cable that came with an iBasso DX80 to connect it to the Mojo using an RCA to 3.5mm mono plug adapter and it worked great. Those adapters are fairly inexpensive compared to a custom Coax cable. The Mojo needs a two connection point 3.5mm plug for the signal and ground. The adapter is just metal and passes what ever signal it gets. Mine played FLAC at 192 and DSD without issue.
