Totally agree with that, I've tried USB w/ferrites compared with optical, and couldn't really tell the difference.
Anyone tried the Focal Elears with the Mojo?
i've created a monster, lol
welcome to the growing world of USB audio, eh?
who'd have thought of this stuff even 4 yrs ago?
sorry but i'm not the best dude to answer that as I'm still wrapping my head around its purpose and capabilities (and limits)
.basically if I'm correct it's a bridge that makes a reg USB into an audiophile USB.
there is a thread towards it, too here:

After long listening, I found mojo, for high-impedance HP, need a decent tube amp, not SS.
With hd6xx it tends to produce a very harsh sound and have an lack of impact.
But with low-impedance HP or IEM, it is full-bodied and very quite resolving.
I will leave some my views after getting my amp and pairing it with mojo.

Thanks for the info, I will definitely be looking into this.

depends on which amp. with fiio e12, it was quiet clinical. unlistenable.
with burson soloist sl, its a different story. with hard to drive hps like hd700, mojo smoothes out a lot of detail. with burson in chain level of detail was very good. sound was enjoyable too. details on vocals was noteworthy. i was surprised how it recreated every breath, smack of lip etc. heard it for first time.

Yes, i'm listening with it directly Also i found last night, that depends on well or poor recorded track.
But when even hearing former, i felt like it's amazing while i wish have some dynamics more.
And for latter, it has less body of sound.
Perhaps you are describing the harshness / thinness of certain recordings?
The HD 650 is more laid-back than hard-hitting, so it's not going to have the strongest dynamics when driven from accurate electronics.
