No intention to derail the thread, no offense or criticism, just curious then why in your review you have not included any classical music. I am sure Mojo is great. 

At the end spoiler I listed the majority of albums I used including a nod to various classical recordings.

I don't know if you listen to or test gears with classical music. IMO classical music especially the symphonies and orchestral work are the most demanding (due to a large crowd of instruments) for separations, speed and dynamics ranges. In my experience, anything can survive Brahm's and Chopin's No.1 piano concertos for the first 1 minutes each without sounding slightly muddy is a winner. Those pieces were composed to be muddy prone. 

Classical is a large part of what I listen to when testing new gear. Alas, I really don't want to derail this picture thread any further. We should move on...

I have a massive collection of classical music, all FLAC 100% no lossy... 730GB approx

Manson sounds great with balanced AK120II>Angie.

I bet marilyn manson likes how your player is dressed! Have not listened to that album in years

Mechanical Animals holds up very well. Still has a wonderful, unique sonic quality.

well you learn something new everyday. the £1,700-2,000 AK240 is beat by the £500 Mojo.

is the mojo that good? i have seen claims that its 90% of a hugo. i think i need to experience it, do an AB with my modi 2. :blink:

The Mojo have the same components as the Hugo, including the DAC, the differences are the amplifier, features, input, size and....price

The Mojo has been optimized for iems and on-ear headphones, the Hugo has been made to handle high impedance full size headphones.

At roughly 275 MB per album (for 44/16), we're talking about 2718 albums. That's well over $27,000 worth of CDs and about 1000 hours to download or rip all of them! That's a lot of time and money.

I have roughly a Terabyte of mp3, CD quality FLAC and some hi-rez FLAC. I started collecting digital music about 12 years ago. I still buy physical, mostly vinyl, hardly ever CDs.

Used CD's @ $1-$3 have been my favorite thing since getting a nice DAP.  I rip lossless FLAC and they sound better than any CD player I've ever heard. I hadn't bought a CD in 12 years and now I buy a few a week.
 
I probably have about 400gb of digital music now but only 10% of it is 24bit.  I legally purchased most of it (did some library ripping sessions and also friends still burn me their favorites).
 
I argue against 16/44 being "the best there is" even though I listen to it all day. I listen to multiple formats all day on shuffle and usually the 24bit records catch my ear immediately, they seem to be 'bigger' in the speakers and soundstage.   The MP3's make me look up like there is an error in the player/speakers. The 16/44 FLAC is right in the middle - listenable, decent, but not the best. It doesn't take away from the experience but it really doesn't push you to tears or action like the 24bit files.

Curious...what is the sample rate of your 24bit files?

I also do have 530GB of rebook alac files. all of them are from my cd collection (currently at 1.257 albums). then there also is 200GB of HiRes Music and 150GB of DSD Files. There is not even one single album that i don't own as a physical medium. I just think there is nothing better then getting your monthly stack of 15-30 cds.
