Dude lugs around the TT2 and the M Scaler for listening on flights. Not a joke, see the Ask Rob Watts thread.

All I ask is that it's not so significantly better that I feel the need to upgrade something I'm already more than happy with.

If you are happy then why to upgrade?

By the way, what the Mojo REALLY needs IMHO is crossfeed.

That can easily be achieved through most software players.

I think that’s a bit of a stretch to think something that requires a separate box would now fit into Mojo’s package. Even Mojo needs its taps run at “half speed” to keep heat down. I think it will be filters or (better IMO) a “mobile” button that will allow desktop mode with full speed taps (on charge, bypasses the battery, maybe uses supercaps) or mobile mode with half-speed and better battery life.

Good one!
That would be a real selling point.

Just a joke. The Mojo+Poly works great for me and is by far the best piece of audio gear I've ever owned but there's always something new and shiny around the corner. Something that might give you that better sound.

Your thoughts match others that have been posted earlier in this thread. I agree filters makes more sense than inputs. I hope there’s a more noticing difference between the filters if that is indeed included.

Yeah I looked again at the pictures last night, after posting. The M button is a puzzle.

The Hugo 2 etc, filters were more filters than EQ. Like one was a 20KHz filter so high frequency noise caused by high-res files, cuold be blocked. One was a Mojo tonality filter. I never really found use for them. Although I did see Rob say the 20KHz filter cleaned up redbook too, and so he uses that.

Desktop mode operates without user input on Hugo 2.

M could be for 'mode' though. Possibly a switch to turn desktop mode on immediately, as I think you meant.

That's Hugo 2 and M-Scaler.

I remember it because did the same as you. I saw the post, and then over time I remembered it as carried TT2 and M-Scaler. Someone corrected me and I have remembered it right since.

and battery powered. a suitcase only for audio lol

I own a mojo / poly. I like the ifi diablo and ibasso DX300 better. I also prefer the Lotoo Paw S2 to the mojo mostly due to form factor for walking

Loooove my S1… although I wish I’d done more research before I bought, as I would have realized the S2 was dropping like a week later… how do you like your S2? Do you have the S1? Any comparisons?.. particularly battery drainage?..

But that is the same for so many individuals. The grass looks greener in the next field, but s***t it is even harder to chew.
Salesmen get richer on the next field vision, but owners get poorer when they try and chew.

I have the S1, S2 and W2. I got the S1 first and loved it. Then, I got the W2 and it was a step up from the S1 so I used it most often. Then, got the S2 and I found that I prefer it over the W2, but they are very close in performance. The S2 has slightly better bass performance. The W2 is better in the treble. Now, I use the S2 most of the time because it uses much less power than the W2 and my iPhone will last longer on long walks. When I go for a long walk, I am talking 3 or 4 hours.

Nice.

I had the LP W2 as well, ended up returning mine. I think it did many things better than the S1, particularly from a technical aspect, but I just enjoyed the tonality of the S1 slightly more, so for me, that kind of evened things out between the two… The tiebreaker was the W2’s power-sucking issues. Very thirsty little guy, similar to my Apogee Groove Anniversary Edition in silver... Love the tone of that Apogee, but my God, it could eat a 12.9” iPad Pro alive in like 2 hours. The W2 wasn’t quite that bad, but it was pretty bad. Call it 4 hours to kill the iPad.

What has your experience been regarding power-thirstiness between the S1 and S2?

Then use that for storing some upsampled files

Playback with a bog standard headless 2011 mac mini running Roon or Audirvana 3.5 into a Chord Mojo is mind-boggling -- absolutely smashing. My ears have arrived at their happy place. I will purchase PGGB as soon as I can do so comfortably. The best news (for me) is that I find it a complete cure for DAC upgradeitis. Goodness gracious what a wonderful toy this is.

https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/...ew-of-math-and-magic/page/37/#comment-1153649

Having listened repeatedly to the files I upsampled with PGGB during the trial period, I concluded that I no longer wish to listen to the rest of my 2,000-plus digital albums without the benefit of PGGB. The improvements it has made to digital music playback are many and extraordinary, as I listen at 32 bits/705.6-768 via Audirvana 3.5 thru the Chord Mojo DAC direct to a naim NAP160 power amplifier and Spendor/REL speakers. No more playing around with audio settings, and no more EQ/convolution! My only regret at the time of purchase is that this software wasn't available 10 years ago. I haven't enjoyed listening so much since the days when I first discovered the music I would love. Indeed, PGGB enables a voyage of musical rediscovery that I am only now beginning.

I can’t believe the performance this combo is providing. The wifi chip in Apple devices is top notch and I am able to get 768 streaming anywhere my wifi reaches. Even the sketchy service out by the pool. The Mojo is very impressive as well. I never used it much as the Poly is a strange duck and my dap was much more convenient. It’s not the level of my desktop rig with iem’s but very close.

Just flip some switches and maybe this guy could also be paired with Mojo 2 then?
