I'm wondering why they do not want to release specs for this. Although, I'm sure there is a reason.. there is a reason for everything I guess
Yeah, I'm super pleased with my Mojo as well as I was intending to use it as a portable (with ie800) and the ease to which it can sit on my office desk. This is definitely a top product of the year. I have not tried many portable solutions, but I'm sure I'd be hard pressed to find something better than this (taking into account the price).
But I was curious and wanted to compare this with my desktop amp (which really I should not), and that is where I found the HDVD 800 more detailed (chord mojo was muddy), spacious, and the music flowed more easily (smoother). Again, the Mojo is a portable solution, so really it should not compete with such a desktop dac/amp. In saying that, I'm sure it can compete with other desktop dac/amp but not the HDVD 800.
Did you check if your comparison is level-matched? I mean not by ear but by measuring voltage at the output and make it close as possible before comparing.
Those "more-detailed", spacious difference is usually a product of one amp slightly louder than the other.
