There are a lot of great and cheaper DAC's that you can buy now a day. DAC technology has evolved so much over time that the sonic difference among the high-end ones becomes subtle at best. One thing that I learned being in this hobby for over 20 years is that price and performance do not go hand in hand. Hifi is one of the hobbies where the law of diminishing return clearly applies.
I have a Modwright Elyse DAC which I love. I also compared Mojo against Chord Dave, two DAC's from the same company albeit a large price gap. To my ears, the difference between Mojo and DAVE are subtle. A few other people have expressed the same opinion. I mentioned this on Head Fi DAVE forum and almost was eaten alive by most of the members there! That forum is the most biased one that I have ever come across. Don't post anything there unless your conclusion is DAVE is the supreme DAC! Even the people who have never done an A/B comparison between Mojo and DAVE came out to defend DAVE vigorously. There is one particular Head Fi member whom I think is secretly either getting paid or getting a kick back from Chord since all of his posts are about how DAVE is the best DAC that has ever been made.
