Could be the output impedance. Many laptop's sound cards have a way to hight output impedance, making the bass uncontrolled and over bloated. The Mojo, with it's near zero output impedance, has much better damping control making the bass drier and compared to the laptop's sound leaner.To me, the Mojo stock without that gear, with USB, sounds thinner than my laptops onboard sound. More refined with better separation etc, sure, but thinner.
