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.

The used value of a non-balanced is really closer to $2600-$2700 based on my recent purchase, past used sales and what I see a used Balanced one listed here for ($3400).  Ben asks more, and should,  as he goes through them and offers a short warranty. Just an FYI. I love the V3 and may upgrade the chokes on my own as well as some other upgrades.

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.

I have to post on how good the Mojo Audio Evo dac sounds. While I do not own the Evo, I did upgrade my Mystique 3 to something that is very close to the Evo with most of Ben’s Evo upgrades. I have the latest usb card, op amps and best Lundahl chokes in my Mystique 3.

This dac has transformed my system by delivering a dose of realism I previously thought was unattainable in a digitally based sound system.

I am like a little kid in a candy store with the Mojo dac. I cannot get my system to ever sound loud! No kidding! No matter how much I turn up the volume the music never sounds loud! The music just swells and expands with a live musical experience happening in my space. Uncanny realism and musical delight.

Ben has a very special dac here folks and one I think is transformational sonically. Well done.
