Just went for a walk with iPhone -> Mojo -> Empire Ears Athena. Played Kangding Ray's latest off-kilter electronic album. It was hard not to groove down the street. Great bass. Spacious without sounding diffuse. Nice sparkle. Then Mojo died, and I was stuck with just the iPhone. It was ok, but the man the Mojo really lets you take so much more advantage of high-quality IEM!!!
:L3000:


I'm happy. Your enjoying yourself, is the Mojo impressive with the se846?

Also how do Dsd files sound
I've only tried flac and a few flac 96,

Still, I can't find any usb micro to Usb micro cable to use for My upcoming mojo

The Mojo with JH13pro (w/custom copper cable from plusSound which really emphasizes the mid bass) sounds overly warm, lush and mid bass heavy. In part I blame the cable. 
The Mojo with HD800 w/stock cable with anax mod sounds thin and bright (at least compared to Liquid Carbon and Audio gd dac 19). Was not expecting this. 
The Mojo with Grado GH1 (which is really warm by Grado standards) I also found thin and bright compared to Lyr 2 with Bimby). Was not expecting this also. 
 
Will try the Mojo with my B&K amp and B&W 705 speaker stereo system.

How long do you want?  Have you looked at Cables to Go?


Looking for something really short, 3 inches or so maybe even right angled, I'm. Going to either stack with dx90 (maybe) or definitely stack (carry around) with my Note 5, I don't need it long that's for sure

  I'm off to bed now, but for any of you needing memory cards, there is a mere 7 hours left to run on this awesome deal of the day, at Amazon:
 

Thx for the info!   I just ordered two.  :)

  its not Mojo's fault, but HD800s. HD800s have treble peaks between 5khz -10khz which cause thin and bright sound. you need EQer to tame HD800s.


Not really saying it's the Mojo fault, but stating how it sounds to my ears.
I'm aware of the 6peak. Which is why I have the Dac 19 and LC to pair the HD800 with. 
But I was under the impression with many stating that the HD800 and Mojo pairs well.
The Mojo just high lights or reveals the weakness of the HD800.

For portable solution, I think it's good. But yeah doesn't really compete with some desktop amps for me. I think hd 800 is also picky with amps. Ultimately it does come down to preference as well.

HD800 shines with a good balanced amp (not saying there aren't other good SE amps, especially tube amps).

Not sure if it needs to be balanced, but it shines with my hdvd 800.

BTW how does it sound compared to your CL?

You mean LC? The Liquid Carbon gives it more bass, body, soundstage and sounds more dynamic. The LC really sounds like the tube hybrid amp. 
I really prefer the Audio gd Dac 19 Dac with LC for the HD800 than Mojo as Dac to LC.

Ahhh ok would love to here the LC.

Did you buy the mojo for your iem or specifically for the hd 800?
