I'm not disputing what you're saying, I'm just trying to understand it.

So if 5.3Vrms is at +18dB, then -4.5dBV is approximately the reference. So -70dB is -74.5dBV or roughly 189uVrms. Much more reasonable numbers.

Here's what I'm not sure I understand correctly now, so please check me on this...

From -70 (-74.5dBV approx) to -34 (-38.5dBV approx) it's half dB steps? (2 steps per color change, assuming color change = 1dB)

Then from -34 (-38.5dBV approx) to +2 (-2.5dBV approx) colors change together... So 2dB steps?

Then from +2 (-2.5dBV approx) to +18 (14.5dBV approx) it's 1dB steps? (taken verbatim)

So if I wanted a roughly -10dBV output, I would start at the max volume and click down 16 times to get to about -2.5dBV then 4 more clicks to approximately -10.5dBV.

If I take into account power conditions, maybe I want to aim one click higher and stop at -8.5dBV nominal? Is a 1.5dB drop a reasonable expectation? How stable will that level be?

Yes, I believe the steps are in 1/2 dB increments up to -34, but after -34 it's 1 step per increment, and after +2 it's 2 steps (not sure on this though). I am not the authority on the measurements or implementation. You are asking for figures that I am not qualified to answer accurately, but hopefully I can help point you in the right direction. @Rob Watts.

I do believe he's mentioned the power is very stable throughout the power level, but again, I have no data on this.

Just for accuracy - a change in volume is always in +/- 1dB steps.

Ah, so it's simply a visual guide for the two step colour changes on the lower and upper portions. Thanks Rob!

IMO, some say it's weak because they prefer a bright amp + warm headphone (HD650) than a warm analog out of Mojo + warm headphone. Double warm = too polite IMO, but YMMV. BTW, Mojo has enough power to make the HD650 sing, but the synergy varies by people's opinion.

Did you even try the Mojo + HD 650? Because that is not how the HD 650 sounds like on the Mojo.

Anyone using the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphone should know about this potential battery problem!!!

For sake of accuracy too, may we have the range in dB ?
Up to now it has been commonly written from -70dB up to +18dB.
 
Fact is that Mojo allows something like 96 different levels ( 95 clicks).
Fact is each change is always +/- 1dB ( measured).
 
But range provided in threads or reviews is not matching (-70dB up +18dB is 88dB or 88steps)
Thanks.

For those interested Mimouille has posted what his Shanling M1 looks like stacked with the Mojo.
Dang that's small!

Man i don't know how people walk around with stacks kkk

 

[Rob Watts]

Yes its -76 dB to +18 dB with what would be -77 as a complete mute.

seems m1 is a bit too small to stack with mojo. rubber  bands may slip out of m1 and using double sided tape may leave marks on mojo's and m1's  surface. however if the sound via usb of m1 can beat coaxial of fiio x3 ii, m1 may be well worth.

This one wirks really well connecting Mojo to phone.

as far as i know adl is owned by furutech so this cable must be expensive.

Mojo is a wonderful wonderful gadget, but when I used it to drive he400i, I feel 400i is very underpowered. 
So I decide to sell 400i and keep Mojo.

Those of you using the fiio x3ii with mojo via coaxial how is the sound compared to other sources you've used/tried before ?. Planning to get one to pair with my mojo as it's the only dap which is cheap enough to use as source . I'm not planning to use my cell phone all the time as I can't afford to have it on air plane mode to avoid interference.

i use fiio x3 coaxial with mojo and compared with Android usb out via Uapp. I used both with small ferrite clips. I would say fiio sounded fuller and Android was a bit thin sounding.
