I stopped reading when he mentioned the Mojo is for sub-100 ohm headphone only and the Hugo is for hard to drive can like HD800. Ton of BS, if he measured the output of both devices they are identical. Both device can reach 5Vrms before clipping.
 
I agreed though they sound different. I haven't done a thorough comparison yet but I actually like the Mojo driving the HD800 than the Hugo and I like my Roxanne on the Hugo than on the Mojo.

 
LOL
 
While I am sure some desktop amps out there can do better with higher impedance cans, many cant.
 
I absolutely loved my Mojo with HD800 and while a completely different combo, I enjoyed my friends 480ohm r70x's enough to start putting pennies away to buy a pair.
 
With the exclusion of a few planars, which mind you are usually sub 100ohm anyway, just inefficient, the mojo has plenty of juice.

In my experience a prominent bass/sub-bass will mask details in mids and highs. And if you hear a clear and heap of details in mids and highs it tends to make me think the bass is lacking.

To me It's just a Sound Signature preference. The sub bass is always the main complaint against DAC/amps that are designed to be transparent. I for one look for a DAC/amp that can extract the most natural detail in a record if I want to boost or decrease a part of the audio spectrum I use EQ.



+1 on this I agree its usually the case.

Given how well they're selling I'd be surprised if anyone discounts them, at least not yet. Cheers

What colour is your Mojo showing when connected to your Android phone? Mine is always dark blue on most players such as Poweramp, Tidal, Spotify and Digitally Imported. Should try Neutron with some DSD128 files and see if it goes white

Same here.
 
USB Audio Player Pro can play native 44.1kHz (Red). All my other apps use Android's native upsampling.

Dang you all!  I was looking for a DAC/Amp combo for my phone and computer...tried out the Apogee Groove...which was great with my HD650's but not so great with my IEM's.  So I bit the bullet and ordered my Mojo today from Moon Audio. Who doesn't need a bit more mojo??

Enjoy - it's an amazing piece of gear!

Hi this might be a stupid question (please forgive me), but I'm playing FLAC 192 on foobar, but the light on the Mojo is red.
 
Any reason why it is not the indicated colour of blue?

Thar
This reviewer nails the bass sig of the mojo: https://m.facebook.com/DAC.ph/posts/1039785902719189

Forum consensus is that usb sounds best.

I should add that my CIEM's bass is weighted toward sub-bass. A more mid-centric bass oriented CIEM would probably shine with the Mojo-probably k10 custom would be great. Just guessing as I've never heard the k10.

IMO it comes down to warmth vs detail. I prefer a warm sound and yes mojo is warm but not as warm/bassy as some others.
Thanks for that! Good review. So you're pairing the mojo with your a12? Have you heared it paired with the solar?

can i ask i am connecting the mojo to my note 3 with a micro usb - micro usb

when i want to stop listening to music is enough to just power of the mojo and shut down the note 3 but keeping the cable connected, or will the mojo drain battery from my note 3 even if both are turned off
haha I'll also be pairing it with note 3 once I get it.

Because Foobar (or Windows, or something) is down sampling and only outputting 44.1 kHz, no matter what the source sampling rate is. I don't use Foobar so I don't know the settings but you need to set the software to output the sampling rate of the file. Any Foobar users who know how to pass through the sampling rate?

Go in Digital Output Properties and select Default Format 2 channel, 24 bit, 192000 Hz (bottom of the list). Foobar then will be able to get up to 192 kHz. If the Mojo is still red, could be that your files are not 192 kHz encoded.

The Mojo is a dream for portability. After seeing how the Noble 3Us I picked up came with a black Pelican 1010 case I doubled up and got another. Problem was there is lots of wiggle room so my kind wife made a tiny blanket to fill the gap.
