I got shouted down when I pointed out that Poly seemed like a beta experience. I left the room at that point and ended up at a Hiby R6 - I’ve given up stacking. It’s not perfect but close enough for me.
Yeah the Mojo thread is pretty fanatical. I have seen some senior Headfi members (5k-10k posts) get a lot of flak from other posters or from Chord reps when they point out short comings (micro usb not a sturdy port) or I like this other dac/amp vs the Mojo. LOL some defend their favorite brands more than others I guess.

That thread obviously crossed the line pretty quickly from being informative to just dogmatic. The company really blotted its copybook imo.

WOAH

Welp, there is FiiO Q5 out there, which does things better in every thinkable way (Modular AMP Modules, Hassle-Free APT-X BT, The sonics of X7mkii which was already better than Mojo, Size and Shape for Stackability) :)

And FiiO Q5 is also way less expensive, so my respect to FiiO for designing it so well

Interesting. I was very keen to add a poly to my mojo till I started hearing about the quirks. The concept is visionary. Just really hard to execute evidently.
I just got one and I believe one problem is the variability of networks, in general.

I am no chord fanboy but the Mojo sounds pretty good to me and I own and have used many TOTL DAPs. I haven't heard the Fiio though.

Welp, I never said it is bad by any means :)

Of course it will still be pretty good, but do you carry it stacked to a DAP usually? :)

They are a dream sound wise. I have pull them out of my ears once in a while and stare at them and say WT!? All this sound from a 5.5mm dynamic driver? What a discovery.
