Sound will be better if you pair dx260 with mojo 2

It is a matter of opinion, as usual. I prefer the detail, black background and dynamics of the DX260. I use both IEMs and headphones.

Hello, is the player compatible with 2TB SD cards please?

There aren't any out, that I know of but the standard is up to and including 2tb, when available.

Hello, I am using a 1.5 TB card without any problems.

Just received my dx260 and letting him burn in. It’s going against my mojo2 and a topping dx9

Hello, did someone compare dx260 to chord mojo2 ? Thanks

Not that I know of, but a local reviewer Lachlan just systematically compared the Poly/Mojo 2 combo with the Fiio M23. Although the M23 isn't quite as detailed and holographic as the DX260 (I own both), it's not terribly far off sound-wise, and Lachlan's comparison might still be helpful.

To be honest I’m not sure if I’m liking the dx260…to me is not as detailed on high frequencies, sometime congested and a cold timbre. Not so musical and not engaging.
Going to order a fiio m23 and one of the two will be returned.

compared to which device it's not detailed on highs and not engaging?

I’m finding it beautifully detailed and engaging. It has become my favourite dap; topping both the DX300/320 when considering SQ and form factor.

According to my observations, the headphones are essentially decisive for the sound. I think that headphones influence at least 85% of the sound perception.

For example, I use the DX260 with a Beyerdynamic Xelento Remote 2nd generation. The resolution is brutally precise and the sound is flawless and absolutely musical.

I also use Denon AH-D9200 closed headphones. A soft, silky sound. High-quality, unobtrusive fine details in all frequency ranges.

If it has to be without a cable, I use a B&W Px8. Of course not really comparable with headphones with a cable, but cleanly divided frequencies without peaks or missing details. Overall unagitated and with punch.

Sounds like you just want the M23 and feel the need to justify it to yourself . I can dig it; I want one too, in stainless steel. But I’m really happy with the DX260; it’s all about synergy and the way you hear things and with what..and maybe I’ll just get an M23, because.. I love daps.

Mojo 2 or topping dx9

I don’t want one, really. No reason. It’s big and I’m not a fiio fan, I returned a k9 pro ess.

Mojo 2 or topping dx9

mojo 2 is not better, it colors sound more, making it warmer and treble boosted and add a lot of noise same time. Feels like v shaped sound.

fiio k9 ess pro same story, just less colored source
