Btw, why is everyone their Mojo 1 sounding "warm"? My Mojo 1 (with the Poly) sounds harsh.

Interesting. I wonder if SD card is the best way to go, and then use the DSP to “warm up” the sound of needed.

This is what I doing depending on my mood, the Genre and or headphones I am using at the time

Guess they don't hear it that way (obviously)

I've compared the mojo 1 to AK Kann, WM1a & AK380. Mojo is better, imo, so I imagine Mojo 2 is as well. i doubt the Shanling will rival it or even come close.

Reminds me of the time I got to compare in a listening room my Mojo/Astell&Kern AK100 combo against (at the time) top Austell&Kern Daps. This was around 2016 (pre Poly)

Using the same SD card and a short playlist I was left to my own to try all and sundry

Astell&Kern
AK100 II
AK120 II
AK240

My conclusion was for what I had paid my combo for my needs matched what the later model AK players had to offer

I have since been able to try the latter AK models
Ak320
AK380
KHANN

All I can say is I am still happy with my choice especially now with the Poly in tow with the new Mojo 2

Is my Mojo 1 broken perhaps if mine sounds harsh? (as I never heard anyone talking about it).

Could be bad synergy with one of your earphone headphone. But if consistent? Yeah, maybe..

What headphones/iem are you using?

Listening to Plant/Krauss on my Grado SR80X via Qobuz on my Mojo 2 connected to my iPhone XR. It sounds amazing. The Mojo 2 is a fabulous companion to the Grado.

I’ve never heard anybody describe a mojo as harsh.

Has anyone tried it yet with the ZMF VC, can it drive them OK?

I have a M2 coming from Moon Audio (hopefully next week) - will try it with my VC and report back!

 

[Chop-Top]

Should I splurge for the M2? I'm totally satisfied with the M1 in my current setup and don't see using the M2 EQ.

Totally satisfied? Why change anything? Enjoy your music.

In my opinion one is better off with a pure dap. I speak from experience having used mojo+poly for years.

It's not even about battery life, heat development, music quality. The problem lies in the usability. And it just doesn't do justice to the pricetag.

I love my Mojo. It seems to get better every week, even after 6 years. I’m really enjoying it with Aeon Noires which seem like an ideal pairing. That being said, Mojo2 is coming. But, you might get more out of a headphone upgrade.
