Will the Chord Mojo work with the Cavalli Liquid Carbon, or should I get a desktop DAC like the Emotiva Stealth DAC 1,, the Cambridge Audio DAC Magic Plus, or some other similar device?

Hi @taz23,
I don't want to destroy your dreams or expectations, but I have the feeling that you will get closer to Dave let's say one or two steps out of the 1000 steps remaining
Kidding and teasing...but interested in your findings with Intona.
Please let us know your impressions
I am also seeking some answers regarding this topic.Yeah I meant powered on 24/7 since I read somewhere that its actually better for longevity than if you turn it on and off since the sudden current spikes can wear down the capacitors, but the Mojo runs quite hot which I guess wouldn't be too great either to have run 24/7.
Is it better to keep the Mojo on 24/7 for capacitor longevity for desktop use or better to turn it off after use?

"The DM+ could not match the Mojo for sound reproduction in mine and 2 other guinea pigs’ opinions. More musical, more going on, more texture to the voices and the guitars, more echo, these were the sorts of comments being traded back and forth in favour of the Mojo."
This what I put in my review all the way back in October 2015. I sold my DM+ soon after on ebay. The Mojo wiped the floor with it. I don't know the Liquid Carbon but several people speak highly of it - including @x RELIC x
I agree with @x RELIC x - the Mojo will last better switched off when not in use to preserve the battery life. The capacitors will last for many many years. The battery will last much shorter if kept switched on all the time
Hi guys,
Yes, I was joking about it sounding like Dave. I am sure Rob put in more secrets into the Dave than just having galvanic isolation. Plus, I have not listened to the Dave, so I do not have any reference to that.
I tried out the Mojo with and without the Intona unit. Here are my unscientific findings:
1) With the Intona in between, the music has a more 3D feel to it; it is like the depth dimension has been fleshed out. This results in better instrument separation and imaging in the depth dimension. It seems to me that the soundstage width remained the same. Overall, I get more of the concert hall feeling.
2) With the Intona, it feels that the bass impact is slightly stronger, but I am less sure about this than the first point. It could also be that the volume increased slightly because it seems that things get clearer very slightly. Please note that I did not meddle with the volume buttons on the Mojo when switching in and out the Intona.
3) As a point of reference, when using my Android device as the source, the soundstage depth was lacking and things are relatively flat. This improved when using my Windows laptop (Surface 3), giving a more 3D feel. The improvement took place further when I placed the Intona between the Surface 3 and Mojo.
One thing for sure, the Intona did not degrade the music. I also heard that people had better results when using the REGEN after the Intona, but I have not tried that.
Happy listening!
Velcro and dont drop it.Any ideas to stack X5 1st gen and a Mojo?
I've been using the official HS9 leather case on the X5 since the day I received it. What's the best way to stack and at the same time protect the X5 + Mojo combo?
