Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

Don't worry. we can debate whether Mojo is located in the correct Head-Fi forum, 'until the cows come home'.
The reality is that the Mojo thread has achieved 35000+ posts. That says more about the impact of Mojo, than any friendly debates about where the thread is physically located.

Until the cows...

Maybe it is the english euphemism - 'until the cows come home' historically refers to the agricultural day historically being from when the livestock being released in the morning, to when they return in the evening.
Most of my work colleagues do not have english as a first language, and I know that occasionally I use euphemisms that are not immediately familiar from language classes.
However the longer that I work with colleagues from different cultures, the more I realise that many of our euphemisms are very similar, and presumably had common language roots many centuries ago.
I have shared friendly PMs with @Mython on the Mojo thread for nearly 3 years, and we have had an online laugh about todays tease.

I try again with my question:

What desktop dac without the amplifier section for my speakers rig that could sound close to the mojo?

Oh yeah, I did get the meaning. Farming days are still here to stay, at least in Italy. Thanks God, I might add.
EDIT: Sometimes I cannot prevent my mind from going unleashed to John Gorka's lyrics so much full of truth "....No prayers for steady rain this year".

Other nice english expressions I know:
To blow something to the smithereens.
If you want the bounty ya gotta take the booty.
Cloud o' nine
Cat o' nine
Burma Road (military jargon: in the military ships the corridor/communication channel running all the the way from stern to bow)

Mostly learned from Major Peter Ratcliffe's (DCO) own book about his astonishingly long service in THE 22nd.

This is a tough question to answer. Any DAC can be or not be close to the Mojo.

Firstly you need to tell us what you do hear when you listen with Mojo? What audio qualities you spot most of the time? You like the smoothness? You like the realistic stereo placement? You like the resolution? You like the fast response? You like the transparency?

So.. What are your preferences?

Other than the tonality, there are also those fancy utility factors, like the DSD, MQA capabilities etc.

All DACs will be different if you are careful and if you care and if you can hear. So again, it is not just about Mojo, it is about any audio gear. So many similar items yet they are all so different in some other ways.

Chord Qutest. It has the Hugo2 dac implementation with the Mojo output stage (fixed out at 1, 2, one 3V), but no amplifier/volume.

What information do you have that the Qutest has the same output stage as the Mojo? I’m not sure this would be an accurate statement.

Hey @Deftone,

Have you heard Qutest? I have not, but am encouraged by the Mojo output stage. I auditioned the Hugo 2 (tour unit) and appreciated the technicals, but preferred the Mojo tonality overall. I definitely will audition when they hit the States in volume.

Hi, no unfortunately I have not, just Mojo and Hugo 2.

Have you not thought about using the red filter with Hugo 2? The idea is that should give the Mojo tonality but with improved technical ability.
