Just finished listening to the man of steel soundtrack on the Mojo/560. All I can say is, Wow. This headphones reproduced this epic recording in all its glory. At some points in the music the drums and brass were so clear, large and visceral I was actually shocked by what I was experiencing through a headphone. I have not experienced this level of overwhelming sensations from a headphone since I put on my first real headphone, the hd600, many years ago.

Well done Hifiman and chord. Bravo!

I hear all these great things about Mojo, it is very tempting. However, does it provide enough current for planars because I can't seem to find specific measurement or specification at 50 ohms.

Bavinck,
 
I have the Mojo-HE560 too so I know what you mean.
 
Now enjoying the guitar and voice of Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight (Slow Hand album).  The guitar and Eric sounds so real and live. 
 
Elton John's Rocket Man (Honky Chateau album) sounds excellent too.

I don't see how this little thing can output enough current but it is suppose to be the latest and greatest..

I didn't think it would out out enough either, but it sounds damn good man.

Might have to hear one at a meet soon, here's a breakdown of the internals. I find it hard to believe this will keep up with a full-blown headphone amp and some real big swelling music (orchestra) but you never know.

States 6 parallel transistors per channel:

As long as it sounds great...^^ I'd love some comparison with desktop setups though. Mojo would be a really nice solution for portability.

I would too. I got the 560 in a trade and don't have a desktop amp anymore. If someone compares the Mojo to something like the micro idsd I would sure be interested.

Rocket man in particular sounds very nice.

It only says 720mw at 8ohms, so I think it's borderline for the 560's, depending on what you listen to and how loud you listen.

I agree on paper it doesn't look good. However, it sounds good to me. I would love someone more familiar than me with the 560 amped well to comment on the Mojo pairing.

I am pretty sure there are people somewhere with planars, mojo, and full desktop amp.

It doesn't look like the Mojo has a proper line-out though.

I heard the Mojo->Liquid Spark (prototype)->HEX at a meet...not the best place really for critical listening, noisy, short listen, but the combo made really nice music.
