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.

Does anyone know if the Evo sounds better through AES or USB? Which input is engineered better on it?

Benjamin would be best person to answer your question, depending on your specific EVO.  When I spoke with him about my EVO B4B unit, he replied that in his opinion, USB was pretty much as good as it gets or, at least as good as the other options.  That made my decision easy, even though I am not in general a huge USB fan.

@mitch2 Thanks, does yours have the Lundahl amorphous core for the Spidif inputs?

@divertiti - I had to go back to some email to try and figure it out and the answer is, I believe so based on what I could find from Benjamin...
Lundahl amorphous core, Vishay Nude, Furutech S/PDIF signal path upgrade, 
On the other end, in my Deja Vu EVO Server, he gave me the really good JCAT XE OCXO USB Card so I really don't have a good reason to try anything but USB.  Someday, I might do some listening comparisons but pretty happy with the sound through USB for now.

For those interested in a used  Mojo Audio Mystique V3, I noticed there is one that just popped up on US Audio Mart.
