Yes, feeding line out to the Marantz amp and DALI floor standers. Always testing dacs with the amp and the speakers, because it is like a magnifying glass, you can hear much more differences. Mojo was set to line-out 3v, and then with the 4 volume clicks down brought to 1.9V, the closest I could get it to the D50's 2V output.So, on the comparison test the Mojo was fed to the same power amp?.
I would say the highs are prominent and fatiguing. Using a tube amp and darker headphones might help, but with a neutral amp/headphones combo, it could be too much treble-happy sound.Will I have problem with d50's highs if I am treble sensitive?
I am not done yet with the filters, will do a second run with AKG K702 headphones, which can zoom in better at the highs. Although I don't believe in burn-in, you never know. I left the D50 now playing since yesterday evening, will recheck when 24 hours are over. Right at the moment it still sounds "digital".In this description, it sounds like mojo is more of an "analog" sounding dac and d50 is more of "digital" sounding dac. I wish the filter of d50 can do the trick because I like it to be more analog sounding.
