The review sample is 5v so it has the usb adapters. The 12v will not have those adapters. Maybe @iFi audio can chime in.Thanks for the reply. So you mean the 12V wouldn't work with the Mojo?

Yes, you don't want to use 12V for the Mojo. I looked at the product page. It does list a 5V/3A output as a choice. That would work with a Mojo.Thanks for the reply. So you mean the 12V wouldn't work with the Mojo?

9/12V are not recommended I would go with 5.

He did not measure EQ and did not talk about it either. Optical input was not tested too. Sinad could have been still better with higher output.
Someone posted a reply basically saying same thing and I +1 it, so he may go back and do it.He did not measure EQ and did not talk about it either. Optical input was not tested too. Sinad could have been still better with higher output.
I hinted him very strongly a couple of weeks ago to do the review and be the first! so he did. At least now we have an independent lab test on Mojo2.
Don't expect the earth though from Amir, for one he hates to recommend Chord DACs, and two, "How do you measure a DSP"?
We suggested doing a comparison between say a Roon software EQ of the same and Mojo2's hardware EQ.
We'll see, at least this time he had praises all around.
And in the replies, so did non-other than Dan Clark!

Listening to Led Zeppelin - How the west was won through the Mojo 2 and Fostex TH909, what a wonderful experience
one of those moments where you just get lost in the music.
Edit: I think a lot has to do with the depth, the presentation of listening to that album - the music was in front of me, like I was in row 6 at a concert, rather than left/in my head/right like it normally has been.

Hi, I connected my Mojo2 now first time optical to my old Auralic Aries. It really sounds a step better than from my iPad via USB, more details, precision, every aspect a bit improved. How do I get this quality now in a mobile set up? Would Poly with my iPhone be at the same level?

Yes. Poly is as much a benchmark for SQ as the optical input.Hi, I connected my Mojo2 now first time optical to my old Auralic Aries.

Be aware though that the handling needs a little patience and a stable 2,4GHz Wifi for streaming.
I struggled a bit with the 2Go (similar to Poly but for Hugo 2) but am now quite happy with McConnect Lite on the iPhone for playing both local files from the SD card and streaming from Tidal.
I also heard a clear improvement in SQ with the Hugo 2 + 2Go compared to mirco-USB input.

The only good headphone in the world that needs more power than the Apple Dongle for adequate loudness is the DCA Stealth.

That's exactly what this plot showsSinad could have been still better with higher output.

Why use an external DAC at all then (maybe for apple one has to). I have LG G6 which can drive all my headphones/iem. Better one why not use bundled earphones included with the phone itself (for the apple one has to buy separately). Everything sounds the same, right?The only good headphone in the world that needs more power than the Apple Dongle for adequate loudness is the DCA Stealth.
