| My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey With the room layout and speaker placement limitations, I'd focus on bookshelves placed on your cabinet (on some sort of 2-8 inch stand like Iso Acoustics) and add a small subwoofer.Bookshelves would have at least a tiny bit of room off the back... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO That makes sense, @grannyring . I bought my single-ended v3 used a little over a year ago for $3100. I should have checked today's used prices.I haven't heard a lot of dacs, but I think a $2600 v3 would be one of the best values out there. | |
| What would you Buy? Adding to ELAC Navis & DSpeaker I'd recommend first getting a Bluesound Node2i and use it as a dac/streamer. Figure out if you like the app, it's streaming services, etc. It's kind of the standard streamer for under $1000. Many people are using the 2i with high-end dacs and a... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO @sabrejet - Ben at Mojo offered a very fair trade-in of my V3 as a credit towards the EVO. On the Mojo website, you can see that single-ended V3’s have dropped in price to $3500. That’s around the used market price - maybe a little higher.The upgr... | |

| Which good discrete R2R multibit DAC & why NOS ? US-based Mojo Audio makes R2R NOS dacs. Their Mystique V3 has won a few awards. It uses the 20-bit, AD1862 R2R chips. They have dacs from $2500-7500.I thought I had read somewhere that the Reimyo DAP 777 used PCM63's, but now can't find anythin... | |
