I was talking with a fellow headfi'r @kk728 about the Elear and Mojo pairing. He was trying to get more info on the matter. Would you be able to shed any light on the paring? I am curious as well since I have yet to hear them together.

Yeah sure, I will help where I can. The Mojo is all I have to power them so I can't compare to anything else I'm afraid. Is there anything in particular that you want to know?

And as a follow up - any other top of the line cans I should be considering which will fit with my Naim/Linn listening profile? I currently have the B&W P7 wireless on demo which really impress me (for their PRAT). That has me thinking about demoing the P9. I have also been reading up on the Beyerdynamic T1. I don't want to go to Sennheiser as I had the HD650 when I was active here in 2003/4 and sold them - BORING. Grado RS1 replaced them - very nice
Looking for something as I stated above - iPhone>mojo>headphone

Agreed. It's a really kool place dangerously close to me and I've spent a lot of money in both sides of the business. Paul and Wendy are brilliant and I'm glad they're making a success of it.

I'd say these fit that Naim/Linn profile better than most similarly priced headphones I've heard...some image better, some have wider soundstage, better imaging, but these things rock. IMO, of course.

Listening over and over to Massive Attack's Mezzanine through Mojo and Elear. Talk about punch. Angel sounds just insane 
I am using Elear with Mojo. Its good pair. Mojo has enough power to drive this and Bass is tight and midrange is good as well. However just the lower treble performance will make this combo a little dark and laid back but that's the sound character of Elear in general and Mojo goes with it. I don't think Mojo will help to overcome the 4Khz dip but I don't know if any other dac amp would that's what EQ is for.
At the end I would say it is very good pair.

I haven't found the Elear to be hard to drive-my phone and Pono do just fine, went out with Pono/Elear (single ended) for a dog walk today and dug it.
Yes, that's true.
That's why I said Mojo has enough juice to run it to full potential. I would be several clicks below in volume of Mojo when I use it with Elear as compared to using it with HD600.

Thanks for the replies guys. I am getting excited
Nice to know the Elear can be driven directly from a phone. My use scenario will be using the iPhone as a transport. The B&W P9's interested me due to the upcoming lightning cable with integrated DAC. Me thinks however that the Elear will have something over the P9

coming from HD 600, that's what I first noticed about these, the Bass, punch and Weight in the voice

Well played. I was listening to that exact album last night through the Elear and Audeze Deckard amp. Sounded amazing.
