| Six DAC Comparison @zachawry Funny how we all use different adjectives to mean the same thing. What Zach is calling "sluggish" as opposed to "fast" is what gives the music more correct time and tune. And that "correctness" as you put it is what my ear is calling... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @ saeed79 I’m sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with one of our DACs that you purchased used. There is most definitely something wrong with that DAC. And nothing that we’ve ever had a customer report to us. Though it is rare, over t... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Thank you again Mitch2 for the in-depth review. As I always say: "there's no need to reinvent the wheel, just to get it to spin more true." And that is pretty much all we've been doing at Mojo Audio. Our Mystique v3, EVO, and X, were the same D... | |
| Six DAC Comparison WOW! Quite an in-depth review from Tim Mitchel. Full disclosure... Just in case any of you are wondering, Tim doesn’t work for Mojo Audio and we don’t give him DACs for free like many of the big companies do with reviewers. But we do give Tim... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @no_regrets We're going to be showing at AXPONA with Staccato's BU-1 dual mono class A amplifier and with Aretai's Contra F200 speakers. Aretai Contra 200F - Aretai Staccato Black Unique Dual Mono Class A Amplifier - Staccatoaudio And yes, be... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @NO-REGRETS (and everyone else) Our Mystique Z NC (the same model mitch2 has) will be in room #661 with Volti Audio at the Capital Audio Fest next week. Greg got a burned in demo on Monday and he's been listening to it compared to his X'25 NC. ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @ benstelz LOL! I have to agree with you that our DACs are an ugly black box. Of course we could do what most companies do and have fancy looking chassis that cost more than the parts inside of them. We considered a fancy machined billet alum... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @tksteingraber A customer/friend of mine told me about your issue and this post. Thank you Diane :^) I just sent myself an email to [email protected] and Diane just sent us an email a few minutes ago and both came through as expected. So I... | |
| Six DAC Comparison We've been asked "why TOSLINK optical instead of AES/EBU balanced?" I think some people are confused as to what AES is and the difference between a balanced and a single-ended digital input. AES stands for "Audio Engineering Society" and they h... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @ brbrock The Mystique Z is a single chassis DAC built in the same chassis as our Mystique Y. What that graphic is showing is that the Mystique Z chassis is 1" lower than the Mystique X chassis allowing the distances in both the signal and power... | |
| Six DAC Comparison Mystique Z DAC We're starting to take orders for the first production run. We're offering a $1,000 discount on our new top-of-the-line Mystique Z NC. Estimated ship date is late September or early October. We're currently in the process of as... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @brbrock Yes, every Mystique DAC since our Mystique v1 had a similar MSB zero-crossing trim adjustment. The single MSB adjustment on the AD1865 and AD1862 DAC chips we've been using did not require as sophisticated equipment to adjust them as t... | |
| Six DAC Comparison To answer some of your questions... Our new Mystique Z will have three inputs: USB, coaxial AES/SPDIF, and TOSLINK. Aside from the upgraded DAC chips and upgraded power supplies, we are makings quite a few upgrades to our AES/SPDIF and TOSLINK ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison An update on our new Mystique Z... Prototyping is going quite well. The PCM58 DAC chips we're using are the best sounding vintage R-2R DAC chips we've ever heard. Notably better than the AD1862N-Z chips (aka "Z chips") we offered as an upgrade ... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @ SNS Your DAC can have a very advanced USB input. But if the output from your digital source and your digital cables are not equal then you cannot make a fair comparison between USB and I2S. All the inputs and outputs on any component are not... |
