@x RELIC x & anyone else who owns higher-end Chord DACs:
Could you go to 1:50 in this track and compare the impact of the drums for me?
(Mojo first, then the others. I guess you should use headphones that excel at impact too. Crank the volume so you can feel the impact and try volume-matching as well as you can. And feel free to enjoy the entire track. It's from this phenomenal movie.)
I noticed that cheap DAC/amps and the like hit a lot harder than the Mojo in this respect, although the Mojo has much better sound quality. I was hoping the DAVE, Hugo 2, etc. would also hit harder like that.
I also agree that the mojo don't hit very hard. I have a $1,500 US dollars Hifiman 901s and it hits much harder that the mojo. I don't think it is because the DACs are cheap or expensive it is probably just the sound signature of each DAC.
