Mojo Audio Mystique EVO

Mojo Audio updated their website yesterday with details on the next generation of the Mojo Mystique DAC, the Mystique EVO.

Unlike the V3, the EVO has upgrade options for component, isolation and shielding upgrades - at purchase or to be upgraded later.   The website states there are plans to release new boards for ethernet/roon, and other dac chips like the PCM63.

I pre-ordered an EVO in late February with a few upgrades.  I'm expected to receive it in 1-2 weeks, and I'll post my impressions after some time with it.  I currently have the Mystique V3 and I find it fantastic.  Really looking forward to hearing Ben's next iteration.

I was also interested in the “can’t get it loud enough” ‘type’ of statements. I’ve had components before that made the system seem like I couldn’t ever get it loud enough. That’s not preferable for me. Not my goal to have to have more volume to ‘get there’, especially not +10db. 
 I’ve always thought this was a symptom of rounded-off transients or a lack of ‘bite’ to the sound, that, imo some music needs. Sometimes smoothness can be taken to far and upset the ‘excitement’ factor... Probably not the case here though ??

Good to hear. I had a feeling what I was perceiving surely wasn’t the case. 

So to clarify, you guys can still enjoy your music just the same at low levels, it’s just that the ability to play much louder than before is there?    
Because one of @viroguy ‘s statements eludes to more details at that much higher vol. level.
