I think i will give a try to them. Last doubt: NH are known as warm and so the Mojo, also, I read about back mids. May report if there is truth behind?

What exactly is windows 10 creator as compared to just windows 10? also is it ok to say have hugo 2 drivers and mojo drivers installed on the same laptop at once? obviously only using one dac at a time? so there is no conflict here?

I have Mojo originally and had the drivers for Mojo installed. Then I just bought the Hugo 2.

After getting the Hugo 2, I downloaded its drivers and installed them. Yet I only see one set of Chord drivers in my Windows 7 - 'Programmes and Features'. Secondly I only see one set of Chord WASAPI and ASIO choices in my JRiver settings.

I found that both my Hugo 2 and Mojo are running on the latest drivers that installed. Meaning the drivers for Hugo 2 that I just installed. It's possible that the Mojo and Hugo are using the same drivers. It certainly looks that way.

Mojo + Sennheiser seems to be a great combo in general. I was less than enthused with it and my LCD-X, but I never heard it with the LCD-2.

I'd be heavily tempted to snag a Focal Elear, honestly. That'd be damn near endgame for most.

If you're thinking Nighthawk, get the Dragonfly Red. They pair marvelously together.

No recessed mids to me, but the Nighthawk is a warm headphone. I don’t find it too warm with the Mojo, but that’s me. The Nighthawk are one of those ‘get used to the sound’ compared to other headphones kind of warmth. I like them most for their very low in distortion and I pick that out easily. The Nighthawk are smooth but still have good dynamics and detail. Headphones like the Elear are more punchy / dynamic and grab your attention. Many have said the Elear is a HD650 replacement and others hate the Elear’s slightly recessed 4K region. Again, perhaps you can audition them.

You might also want consider Audeze LCD-2C.

I am still in the return window with the mojo, do you think I could get a better sq from the cheaper Dragonfly?

No. Just no.

Get a pair of headphones that pair well with the Mojo. Anyway the Nighthawks get lots of compliments with the Mojo. Crikey, I am shocked you ask.

You should also be thinking of the Mojo as a component that will survive upgrading the rest of your system. About three weeks ago I upgraded my desktop kit, and to be honest, the Mojo is nothing short of mind-blowing.

Hi @GreenBow

Since Mojo and Hugo 2 are sharing the same microcontroller MCU chip for USB, odds are great for them to use same USB drivers.

I just ordered the NH because I hope to get more dynamics from the Mojo than with the actually Hd650...

I also use the Mojo in the desktop setup and I blame it only for the roll off highs. Do you notice that?

Oh hell no. I thought you were looking at which to buy. I was just saying if you haven't purchased anything, the Nighthawk+DFR pair beautifully, but if you've already got a Mojo keep that. It's definitely in another league.

You made me afraid with that post. Also because, after what you wrote, I read that they are both very warm (Mojo and HW) so I thought your advice was for that.

I will have 14 days to evaluate the HW with my Mojo, I hope it will give me more satisfation than Mojo-HD650. Otherwise, I will send the HW backand, I will place a desktop amp in my bedroom for the HD650 and I will place the Mojo as permanent DAC in the living room main chain.

Mojo + HD650 is a fantastic combo, BTW. I have that sitting at my desk along with my Audeze stuff (well, mojo is getting repaired, but still).

I totally dislike that combo. I mean, it totally lacks dynamic, it sounds "plain", "not filling", how I can say. For all the other stuff (details, musicality, tone) is a great pair yet (to my ears).

Just plugging the HD650 in my desktop dac/amp (Asus E1) and the dynamic back again.

I am trying the Mojo-HW combo now to earn that "missing dynamic". I cross my fingers because tomorrow I should receive the NW.
