I may have just a few minutes ago. A discount was offered on their demo unit and I found it to be very acceptable.
@dB_Cooper we will now have to swap out Mv2XAs to see if USB or SPDIF rules the day.

Very cool! Congrats, a discount means he just wanted to get rid of the thing! LOL

always nice when things work out your way, Iām sure you got a good deal and seems like generally speaking these punch way over their weight and compete with the new stuff

Isnt that what most used sales are?
But yes, now i have some things I want to get rid of.

Can agree with that from my personal experience as well, the v1 and base v2 were nothing to write home about, but the upgraded v2s and above were where they caught my attention

Yeah, be basically was trying to say dont bother with it unless you get it for nothing. Got to admire someone who could just say it is worth it, buy my stuff but instead is like āehhhhhh those were my experimental phase projectsā

I invited the guy I bought it from to join the forum. He got a V3

Sweet! Hopefully he joins.
Found some more info
I still dont know what the A stands for in v2AX, but it seems our units are close to a v3. The dac chip may only be 18 vs 20 bit, and those chokes are different.
Maybe the A is for analogue as it was mentioned before that it shares the EVOs analogue design.

Itās all about the power in the V3 and further still in the Evoā¦ when @M0N doesnāt get rid of a DAC itās because itās probably doing something other DACs arenāt.
Someone asked for additional thoughts on the Mojo v2SE v2Xā¦
Further listening itās just a fun DAC to listen to music with. It can get more technical than a BF2, from Memory, maybe even more detail and technicality than the Yggy or at least in that neighborhood. But with a body and toneā¦ not sure how to put it, maybe just meat on the bones type of sound. Almost exaggerated, but fun and right, but almost exaggerated. Itās what led me to let go of the Aural Audition amp and pick up a Bryston because I think it may be a better match for my chain. The BF2, the Aural Auditon and the Verite Closed seem too much of a good thing. lol
The limited input on the Mojo is something that I needed to deal with as well. Having only one input on my DAC and only one input on the amp, it was too limiting from a connectivity standpoint. Another area that led me to look at the Bryston BHA-1.
Looking forward to hearing that chain sometime later this week actually!
I will finish the commentary as if it wasnāt clear enough already if you run across a v2 SE or v2X or something as described above, better than a basic v2. Just buy it if your goal is to move to the next level beyond a BF2.
I could also see myself going all in on the Mojo EVO type of sound in a few years time should I ever run into a well priced used model.

Itās probably the most fun dac Iāve owned, so I was definitely going to hang onto it, itās definitely not as technical as some of the other days Iāve had (although most at a higher price point), but for me it rides that line of warm, exaggerated, and enjoyable without going too far, while offering plenty satisfactory sound for the money. And considering how well it responds to better digital sources, it can scale reasonably well too. So itās an easy keeper for me at this point

Itās really hard to give up certain things. A friend a while back said something to me thatās stuck. No one speaker does it all. I think that also applies to DACs.
I know that the expectation doesnāt quite apply once you get into the 30, 40, 50K component pricing level. However at t the 5 to 10K level, where I live that is a very real and applicable statement.

Yes very true, same goes for headphones, amps, iems, dacs, preamps, digital sources, etc. Anything in audio. But I think another important thing to consider is that you probably donāt need something to truly do it all anyways. You just need something to do most of what you like the most and do it well enough to not be bothered by what it doesnāt do a stellar job at. Audio is a game of trade offs and compromise, you just have to build a chain that priorities what you want and doesnāt focus on what you donāt, and youāll be pretty well off. Donāt sacrifice things for the sake of ādoing it allā, but also donāt end up with too large of a collection of one trick ponys, neither are satisfying. Balance is hard lol
Still holds, just to a bit lesser extent, but still very there

That is an audio gospel paragraph right thereā¦ if only we all knew that right from the beginning when we start off on the hobby. It does take a while though to develop a sense of taste and then develop a sense of preference which IMO are two distinct things.
Itās also been a painful experience understanding how wrong Iāve been in the past holding certain positions. I am now better able to tell differences in components and cables and even recording that I simply would not have the presence of mind to even be noting just a few years back.
Eyes wide shut open slowly I guess. LOL
EDIT: BTWā¦ I know I wouldnāt be getting into the new car purchase price of audio components. But Iām glad (my retirement fund sure is) to hear that even then there are shortcomings.

What I used to say what my preferences were and what I actually want to pick up and listen to today are pretty vastly different. Tastes may change but I have had a much better cross section. Things like the Radiance made me realize that i may like slightly warmer sounds, and that warmer doesnt mean treble has to be dull.

Iām not quite sure if I understand the difference. Would you care to elaborate?
Haha, and Iām also quite interested in hearing from your experience here 
I believe I still have a lot to learn and your views might yet be enlightening to me.
Already mentioned that your review of the Radiance was the reason I bought them. I listen to the treble first whenever I try new hps and this is something I very much appreciated from the Radiance. With every new hp you learn something new
And to add something to the topic: Iāve been very much eyeing the Mojo Mystique for my Utopia - MZ3. Itās a horrible test for my natural lack of impulse control considering the MZ3 isnāt even with me yet.

Definition of end game for me is probably close to this only with the addition of āā¦ and not make you want to upgrade anythingā.

Isnāt that kind of the hard part about endgame? 
Big part of this hobby is that thereās always more out there and to an extent youāre always gonna wonder what you can get from āmoreā and ādifferentā.
Iām pretty sure that Iāll have to practice being content once the next upgrade would exceed my budget.
