Yeah, like they had extra casts of that sony replica headphone they made and needed to use on something.

Those swept back ear cups look like something from a 1980’s anime.

It has a “Topology Diaphragm”. “Topology” and “diaphragm” together with no other words = complete nonsense. And they put “nano particles” on the diaphragm to blah blah blah…

English translation:
“It’s a generic dynamic driver. There is nothing to see here. Oh, yeah we sprayed some stuff on it to lower the resonance frequency and maybe dampen the diaphragm. But really, it’s what everybody does.”

I swear, marketing should be illegal.

It may be a really good sounding headphone but there is no technology in there that’s special in any way whatsoever.

Apparently this came out last year, looks interesting and honestly somewhat promising from what I read

I actually ran into a couple of owners who were quite happy with theirs when asking about small foot print dacs. Not much info out there on it with comparisons though

Also apparently morpheus mk2? Although it looks like it’s only the addition of a -10db attenuation option

Hello,
What do think about maybe nice Dac?
https://www.musicalparadise.ca/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=61&product_id=97

Is a Mk3 edition and option with Vcap odam😍

Not heard it so can’t say, I’ve only heard their MP-701 MK2 preamp and MP-301 MK3 int/headphone amp and I liked both those two for the money

Ohh, too bad, but it doesn’t look bad on paper, I think.
The quick-change system for the capacitors also looks interesting for once.
Otherwise, you rarely see Delta Sigma on a tube basis.

Yeah all the options seem promising, and the design and price looks sensible, wonder how it sounds (that cap thing is interesting, also like the modularity as well)

There are more tube dacs that use SD dacs than you’d expect

Finally Mojo 2 is out!

Why do they still include the micro USB? Feels like would be better if it was all USB C

I just took a glance on Mojo 2’s button control and looks like there will be some learning curve here.

Word dude, looks so complicated with other settings. I guess the og mojo did too when I first got it tho and it ended up being simple enough.

I wonder too if they improved the audio quality in it :eyes:

I always hated the color change to indicate volume, seems a bit of a stretch to make it the UI for EQ.

Volume could at least be intuitive…one end of the color spectrum for low, the other for high, cool to warm or something.

But but how can you assign a color scale to EQ? Completely unintuitive and forces the user to memorize a code to use the device.
