[kimD]

You still got more work to do, getting rid of the CCK cable, the most simplest thing you could do is straighten out the stack 
this is simple and clean, well put togther 

Lol I do believed your setup, after 30mins can cook egg already

Wow. Grados are a rare sight around here. Especially the 325-series - often see people them dismissing them.
They get fairly little love around these parts, i feel.

 
Main reason why people do not like Grado is because (i believe) they are very source dependent (how to control the brightness). For portable amp, i think Phatlab Sassy so far is the best one for my Grado. Also, as many people who might already know, Grado is not as genres friendly as many other phones as well, especially if bass was the one they looking for. But for instruments Violin/Cello/Classical, Grado, in my personal opinion, still perform best in term of accuracy and realistic level, and they are very easy to drive.

I cannot elaborate on their source dependants, as I have not tried enough sources to have a good picture of that.
In terms of genre diversity, I would politely disagree. To my taste they can play almost any genre well (in this category, the ATH-AD-series for example is worse). But if there are to show their full potential and do what they were designed to do, it is indeed a fairly narrow type of music, namely little layered, acoustic music.

What I meant is that Grados are generally overlooked in favour of RS1e. But out of all the Grados, i think the 325-series brings the most 'new' to the table in terms of the Grado sound. Which why I didn't go for the Alessandro, as they somewhat smoothen the highs.

so there lol

 
People always find them too bright and piercing. I never found them splashy. Aggressive, in-your-face, timbre-focused, treble focused, FUN...yes...but never hot.
We need more treble heads.

Tonight's rig. Disproportionally weird, but for good reason.

That's the real deal mate. Dusted the AK300 screen off, skewed my camera at just the right angle (one-handed) and BAM.
 
Perfect lighting on the screen, NO reflections.

Not my stack i took it off Dignis Twitter but it doesn't matter what source it will sound like the Mojo. For A&K the AK70 is the 1st to suppourt USB out, the rest of the 300 line USB out is comming soon some people already got there hand on a pre release firmware and USB work

What are differences using the Mojo with an Esther instead of an AK100 (or other DAPs)?

Well the first to test the Ak70, Audionewbi, reported a bad quality USB out. So if you don't know just say it, don't give me conjectures.
