You know that wow factor you hear when you upgrade your headphones to a much higher class can, that's what the Mojo has done with my X2's.
How can you justify spending £400 on a piece of equipment when the headphones are half that price? To be frank, the only way is to take a listen and you'll realise why. I took a gamble based on hype (which doesn't usually end well) and I'm damn happy I did.
Its not the high resolution support that the mojo offers which sets it apart, ie DSD 1,000,000khz, to me that's irrelevant as I'm only listening via Spotify 320kbps. It makes every sound in the stereo field on par with each other, layered very well in a 3d way, front to back has depth I never heard before in the X'2 and not just left to right clarity as offered by inferior dacs/amps.
Yes there's people out there who claim cables offer such upgrades, as we all know most the time is purely snake oil and placebo. I thought my Oppo Ha-2 was a great companion to the X2's already, it made everything clearer and sparkle and i thought "man this is what the X2 need, but now I look at it, the clarity upgrade was very "digital sounding".
This Analogue, "natural to the ear sound" that every Mojo owner keeps speaking about is very very real and if every X2 owner had a chance to combine their cans with a Mojo the X2's would get 5 stars across the board, especially for their current £200 price tag.
I'm not advertising the Mojo, just saying that a high class piece of equipment can make the X2's shine
