Hi Lunah. I have been trawling the audio world off and on for decades seeking the "holy grail" without actually knowing what that should be, lol.
I believe, with the advent of Mojo, I may have found it.
Previously I was hyped up on specifics of sound, "great bass, clear midrange, sparkly treble, soundstage"; all that objective stuff. I have now come to realise that all that is just a smoke screen.
With the Mojo, it's more about how engaged you become with the music; how it makes you feel. It's about the emotional connection with the music. I keep getting immersed completely in the music with the mojo. Never had that before (well not without chemical inducement anyhow... ahem).
It's quite weird; it sort of creeps up on you unawares mostly and in different ways, depending on the music and circumstances of course. It is pretty cool and fascinating to hear really old stuff I thought I new so well completely anew; hearing amazing things I was completely hitherto unaware of. Stuff that's always been there but that's never reached out to me. Eg, percussive flourishes in rock tracks or new interplays in classical or jazz music I thought I knew so well.
All other sources/dacs/players/phones I've heard sound flat and unengaging, even if it's all "there" with the other sources, it just doesn't come together holistically and draw you in.
For me, Mojo is an indispensible piece of equipment.
ps.. only a couple of months before getting the Mojo I had invested some 150 quid in an IFI Nano which I really liked and is a great bit of kit in it's own right and getting rave reviews against the Dragonfly, et al. Never switched it back on since, lol.
John is right, trust your own ears (and spot on with his comment here..."Mojo is a perfectly played performance just as it was recorded you will hear details that you can hardly believe we're originally there"), and I would add, don't try and hear differences in sound quality or listen to the equipment, per se, as it's invariably an exercise in frustration. Rather let the music in and listen to a few tracks without distractions and then try and work out how you feel about it.
Hope it helps
