Not double blind tests. Not really tests at all, just my continued experience of my equipment.
My definition of 'better' comes down simply to how much I enjoy listening to the music.
I spend about 4-6 hours a day listening to music while I work, the setup I use depends on my location and what I have with me that day.
I have listened to most of the above combinations for many days/weeks/months each.
I have listened to the Mojo over USB from the AK380 solidly for the last two days now, and enjoyed it. However, today I switched back to AK380 direct to JHA Layla (outside office, not much pocket space) and was immediately struck by the more natural sound that the AK380 always has. The Mojo always sounded a bit like it is trying to impress - a very good sound, but not as natural as the AK380.
The last paragraph. I remember when I first got Mojo and tried Mojo through USB with supplied stock usb cable vs. a $250.00 optical cable through optical port on mojo I thought usb sounded better with stock cable. Only to find out the next few hours later it was only the initial dynamics on the usb port that jumped out at me made it seem that way. Never used usb port on Mojo again after going back to optical. You should atleast listen to it a day or two before making decision.
