Yeah, I couldn't really get into the LS50 Meta as much as I love the Monitor Audio RX1 with my setup. It wasn't a power issue since the 8300XP has plenty of it; it just didn't suit my taste. It sounded too thin and didn't justify the cost. Have you ever experienced Monitor Audio speakers? I'm really interested in trying out the MA Silver 100. Another one I am eyeing is the PMC Prodigy 1

I'm really impressed with the sweet, smooth, and clear sound of the Audiolab amps, and the amazing soundstage they offer. I've been comparing the Topping LA90D with the Audiolab 8300XP using a Mojo 2 Dac and an Aune S17 preamp. While the Topping LA90D excels in detail and clarity, it doesn't quite deliver the musicality and midrange weight of the 8300XP!

Having two 8300XP would be insane! Let me know how that goes!

It seems to be a current trend for brands to incorporate DSP into their devices, requiring analog inputs to be converted to digital and then back to analog. I haven't tested the RCA connection for this reason, so I can't comment on any potential delays

Mind me asking what you got instead?

Good shout! I agree with you. I didn't realise both speakers have an amp. That makes sense now!

Hey there! To connect the Mojo 2 to the L30, you'll need an RCA cable with an adaptor like this one: www.amazon.nl/AudioQuest-3-5MM2RCA-STEREO-FEMALE-RCA/dp/B003VJX2F2/ref=asc_df_B003VJX2F2/?tag=nlshogostdde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=430565391586&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6808184549159304102&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1010351&hvtargid=pla-309635873656&psc=1&mcid=a154005cd01f333286d38b1a1ac309a2 Another option is to get a cable with an RCA on one end and a 3.5mm on the other such as this one: www.amazon.nl/-/en/Amazon-Basics-Adapter-Amplifiers-Speakers/dp/B01D5H8JW0/ref=sr_1_9?crid=22OUK2FFZYMHU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.DIXnbewKIvhjWc1m_gPziFXEC_QyFpUVFUMNc07RskMJX_wUIUsu5C7T4sFZY0N-fH0y0c6HLtJ27Ot-0no-l4ID3n7GMx6H3h--8pCteTGPihHfjYeZBaCD4bZ5kaDDnQi3i3dTyMoABO94sCYSwcF1ixn0-pAxtL3bsFgabReSb80dhEB6GTDf0f1LQS-hL-DFKhmI0QDYQXfi64qEIG04TO7ISJW4MSW5B0Z1yD2jHsm51rR9Z1W6slVMLdsIVUEl9iyZeX1jx4FQaFlP24pfKR8CxNaAPSiDYFYr6O4.YfKLzUoKKhbPbOIHRGY9CAF50qwG6ndp8KhnnjAMLd4&dib_tag=se&keywords=rca%2Bto%2B3.5mm&qid=1725010788&sprefix=rca%2Bto%2B%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-9&th=1 If you want to connect an iPhone with a Lightning port to the Mojo 2, you'll need an Apple Camera adapter: www.amazon.nl/-/en/Apple-Lightning-Camera-Adapter-White/dp/B01DGDNL2G/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1EM01EKBE6ZYU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.4sSWehQ-VLeiaSA4jiX8r25KE5dhrcIPvZiC-0dkfMYGxGJHk7Oio_oOWgzz3CGMoWmsecRGUb2lLd5UaldxVhIwW5O2LlUPWcxVY9RITSNRhIpxyndk5wl28IFaspAlwk-4kvtAdVyfau8vs5PjhEltS2AeHhAFbDl_vc_J9ja53DJGvOYPJoFzixVkln90IG0pVwE76_lRzoqkJXytK9QtSggzy4E_i2bGOJU42_SlbBI5vX2Oy-6T4vzruktB2O0fEOVqdBjvYlmFI5iA4cuQvResiYibBd7xCOKgyDY.hyDzd4hzob-oEiiZoMKrAEMqyKo7ib9qIQJz8_DGqSw&dib_tag=se&keywords=apple+camera+adapter&qid=1725010835&sprefix=Apple+camera+%2Caps%2C106&sr=8-3 You will also need a regular USB-USBC or USB-MicroUSB cable to connect the Mojo 2 to the camera adaptor. An iPhone with a USBC port just needs a cable direct to the mojo :)

I was shocked how off they sound and I can't get my head around it hehe

Massive disappointment for me. However, loads of people seem to love the Denons. I am happy there are options for everyone!

@@AndrewUA-camhandle yes the IE600 is a phenomenal IEM much better than the IE200. Specially with better gear and high res music! It’s my daily driver at the moment and I use a Mojo2 and Qobuz streams. The review was done with a pair from auditorium which I returned. The pair I have now was bought direct from Sennheiser and I can swear it sounds much better! No more dry sound. Did I have a dodgy pair initially? Hmmm

@@SirMesko agreed

I keep it powered on all day. It has the option to adjust the duration of inactivity before it automatically powers off.

@@SirMesko Thankyou mate i was just curious about having a Amp staying on for that length of duration every day

@@gabech2789 I’m happy you found my review useful. The Mojo 2 is better than anything I’ve tried so far :)

@@SirMesko I was able to get the Gryphon on the used market for a heck of a deal bc it had a cosmetic imperfection, thanks again 👍

Hi, thanks for your feedback :) Yes the M3 is such a good headphone, Hi-Fi, especially through that cable connection. Never heard the M2 but can imagine

My videos are raw hehe just the phone click and go!

Nao ha volta a dar. Por muito que se queira estes equipamentos pequenos nao tem a mesma performance dos equipamentos maiores. Obrigado pelas palavras de apreciação, abraco!

When I ran the signal through the Aune S17, the sound became much smoother and more open. I believe that the type of speakers used also plays a significant role. Since this product is targeted at a specific demographic, it's intended to be used with affordable speakers, which may not be as revealing. With those speakers, the sound quality might be just right, but this is just a guess.

I am trying an Audiolab 6000A. I got it really cheap, and this thing is another level! I don't think small amps are what I need at the moment. Got the Kanto Ora + Sub8 installed right now, and it sounds okay, not hi-fi!

4.4mm would be a dream. However, I suspect the Chrod architecture isn't balanced and I read somewhere there's a good reason for that. We can always wish :)

Got 2x Fozi Audio V3 mono right here to try. Something in me tells me they won't match the Audiolab 6000A which I am loving right now!

True, I think these amps are a bit of a con and won't deliver sound like we deserve. Better save some money and buy a real amp, like the Audiolab 6000A, which goes cheap these days and sounds like the proper deal!

Glad you found my opinion/review helpful :)

@@SirMesko Before I Watching Your Video..I Am Confused Because I Want To Upgrade My Quad To Penta. But For Now, I'll Stick With My Quad..It's Still Sounds Great & Durable Build Quality.

He actually said the Fosi was warmer. Tonality was not the issue. I've also tried quite a few of these Class D amplifiers and they simply don't compare to a traditional, entry level, Class AB amp.

@@danielrodrigues4814 yeah you're right. i continue to think that when you're really used to a type of sound (and enjoy it) you won't like a change right away (sometimes neves of course) I guess it's what some call brain burn in.

70hz hipass class d great Class ab for subs best

@@danielrodrigues4814@danielrodrigues4814 Just to throw a spanner in the works, did you know Marantz top-of-the-line amps are pure class D, such as the Marantz 30. Go figure, but I suspect there is a lot more than just amp class going on. However, I love my class A always hot Aune S17 :)

​@SirMesko When a manufacturer can throw more money at a product, generally (not always, obviously), flaws can be amended. I think the problem here is with cheap class D amps. These can be made cheaper than AB amps (less materials, smaller power supply) but currently need good spending to sound good.

Muito agradecido pelas palavras positivas! Abracos!

@@bryanjenkins8147 hi, good luck with your hunt for a good iem. To my ears the Quads are very smooth, punchy and detailed. If you get a chance let me know how you find them :)

Thanks for your comment. The Mojo 2 is a tremendous piece of audio engineering and a must-have for discerning audio aficionados!

I'm sorry, but I can't help you with that as I need more information about the Hiby FC6. What I do know is that the Mojo 2 does not use an off-the-shelf DAC chip; instead, it performs the digital-to-analogue conversion using a dedicated bespoke circuit. I would be surprised if anything using an off-the-shelf DAC chip would sound like the Mojo 2.

@@SirMesko FC6 is an R2R DAC, I think it wouldnt use a chip for the conversion process. But yes, Mojo uses a specialised IP for the process, too.

@@eboboboy that’s interesting I have to investigate now! Thanks for the insight

@@SirMesko Youre most welcome! Dont forget to share your experience here then 😃

@@Yokai2510 I’m glad you found it useful :)

@@RX-rd4sc when it comes to resolution the source is very important. Good headphones will reveal a lot more detail with a good source. If you are listening on Spotify you might not take full advantage of a resolving headphone for example. Dac and amp also play a role and you want to have good enough gear to make use of high quality files. To my hears the HD660S2 are much more resolving and detailed than the D7200.

@@SirMesko do you think its because of closed back vs open back nature? The difference in resolution

@@RX-rd4sc No! Closed backs tend to be more boxy sounding but the difference I saw wasn’t to do with that, but rather the inability of the Denons driver to play detail. It felt to me like it was missing tweeters if you like. Something really off with the sound. A lack of hi fidelity

@@portugasanwa viva Portugal! Nunca ouvi os HD560s e gostava de experimentar. Pelo que vejo online of HD660S2 estão acima em todas as categorias sonoras. Boas viagens

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm not very interested in modifying headphones.

Remarkable device. IE600 sounds amazing through it!

Yes very well engineering in that sense too

I am very happy to know my review was useful to your purchasing decision! Welcome to the Mojo 2!

I really wanted to like them but they were not for me. I’m glad you enjoy them so much! Happy listening :)

Why is it so painful I wonder?i got the same feeling.The best I have so far is the Momentum 3 in wired mode. However, it could be more refined. Thinking Focals now

Yeah I did. Once you get used to positioning them lightly on your ears they seal fine.

Easy tigger, I’m not a Sennheiser fanboy, I’m a good sound fanboy!

I’m glad you found your DAC/AMP! I know the Mojo 2 is horrendous money in the US

The chord is way better but it comes down to budget (I've got both). Better than the Fiio is the Onix Alpha for around $100.

Yes the bass on the HD660S2 is not so present but I found it to be deeper and cleaner than the 7200. Not sure what configuration is required. mojo 2 connected to an Aune S17 is all the configuration required right?

That it does

I do wish the S17 had all the cool features of the a70 ​@@SirMesko

@@ancientalien815 well, it’s got the main feature, which is sound quality ;) What features did you want more?

@@SirMesko The ability to turn the pre amp out on and off, select which output you want to use RCA/XLR, also has selectable headphone output with volume level memory, a70 has way better volume control and gain stages. Really the a70 only lacks in the sound department. In all other aspects its a very good device. I should have said the s17 shits on the a70 as far as sound goes. Not to say the a70 sounds bad at all. Just not as good as s17.

@@ancientalien815 as you say the A70 is a very well specced device indeed, it’s even got a screen! However the S17 does all I need from an amp. Sound in, magic, sound out :) All the extra features in the topping are bound to divert budget away from the audio components. An S17 with all those features would not cost what it costs.

Yes! Unquestionably! If you have good IEMs you’ll notice the difference
