Hi, been lurking a while, I bought a second hand mojo and loving it. The plan is to replace my Audiolab M-DAC. I can confirm the mojo is better to my ears, I'm getting more detail even on relative budget AKG K550s. Still testing/playing/listening/enjoying
I do most of my listening on PC and sofa (they are right next to each other). I listen to headphones a lot. I'm also upgrading from AKG K550 to Beyerdynamic Amiron Home.
I'm testing it through my speakers, at the moment I'm listening mojo > cheap interconnect for testing > Audiolab M-PWR > Dali Sensor 2 speakers. It works, but I think the M-PWR input is 600mvolts so it doesn't need much power from the mojo and its loud. I take it the downside of this setup is that it's so close to the lowest level (and distortion) that I'm not getting the best out of the mojo / M-PWR combo. Does anyone have any suggestions for a power amp with 2V or 3V input? My budget is less than the Chord poweramps as those are £2000 I think
more like £200.
I read about using attenuators and also read about mixed results with those. I just need to remember to lower the volume before turning the power amp on!!
Older albums tend to but lower volume, so Disintegration needs about 15 presses on volume up (from zero) but something new like Perfume Genius - Set My Heart On Fire Immediately only needs 10 presses. This might be manageable of course. Any thoughts and advice on this setup greatly appreciated.
