I don't want to bother Dan or others in the company with another email regarding minutia, so asking the community... (tho I know very well it may be Dan or Peter or other empl who answers)

To participants of the upgrade program, did you get a box or just your brown case returned in a brown box? I ask to know if I should put my brown case in my original Ether box or not. Thanx.

I just sent in my brown case.  I saw no need to send in the Ether box.

I just sent the case to Mark Dolbear then to Dan. But got a shiney flow box back from super Dan...

Thanx!

I upgraded to the Mojo + Ether C Flow combo from Dragonfly v1.2 + P7. Went for the Mojo (versus Hugo) based on Dan's recommendation on this thread that this was the better pairing. Still looking for a reason to complain after two months. One of my best investments

 And as several others have stated already, Mojo has no issues driving these. Driven directly by your mobile phone (Galaxy S6 in my case), however, the volume will only go up to comfortable listening levels, not something you can rock-out to.
 
The only bad thing about these headphones is that they leak a lot of sound, simply because the music begs to be turned up

I wonder how the new mojo add-on will do to the flavour of Ether. Another CES messing with people's holiday funds again....

The long painfull wait for
-ether flow upgrade. January?
-chord hugo 2 release. February
-surface pro 5 release. March

See, i have all my ducks in a row.

That I don't understand!
I have both Mojo and Hugo and with my new C Flow the Hugo sounds so much more refined to my ears than the Mojo!

 

[emptymt]

btw, between the open and the closed, which is brighter overall?
 
I never tried the C flow, but I'm not a fan of the normal ether c..

I would say overall treble quantity is about the same but the C Flow is less smooth to my ears.

I believe Dan talks more in terms of musicality than refinement. But this has been the consensus about Mojo in general over the Hugo. TBH, another reason for choosing it was that Hugo is an older product and almost seemed due for an upgrade. At $549 with higher portability and likelihood to hold its resale value in the future, Mojo could act as a good stop-gap, in the least. That foresight sure saved me a lot of tears, now that Hugo 2 has been announced.

Now I might be stuck with Mojo for a while (not complaining). Unless Hugo 2 significantly improves upon Mojo's presentation and details, I will be saving up for Dave.

Tho it has to be better than the HE-1000 turned up loud. Which I'm sure my apartment neighbors above and below me must hear when the streets of NYC become silent late at night into the early morning hours. At least I assume and hope so, and why I went with the C.

lol, the new hugo 2 will have a filter in it to change the tonality, I'm actually thinking of selling my current set up to buy the hugo 2.
I wonder if the filter works before the amp, I like warm signature on some music.

Apparently Hugo 2 use twice as many taps (samples) as the Hugo. With the ability to select sound signatures, it definitely sounds like a worthy prospect. This should also close the performance gap between the Dave. Surely, the mighty Dave will now beg for upgrades too!
 
Which amp?

I haven't really tested mine against any finicky co-workers yet

 Hard to say if the leakage will be bothersome in a noisy office environment.

I mean external desktop amp, was wondering if the filter would still work when using the hugo2 as DAP.
 
The ether flow is smooth as it is, however I listen to music for a long time everyday, and I do get some fatigue after a while, even in my current set-up which is a bit warm already.
at that time, the filter to make it warmer will help a lot.
