The Mojo Audio Mystique V3 can certainly be considered a tad bit on the warm and full bodied end of the spectrum. It is a wonderful dac revealing nuances that deliver a greater sense of realism and dimension vs other well respected dacs.
The Mojo offers more of this nuance vs the MHDT Orchid and the Lampizator Amber 3. The Lampi was more fussy of the recording while the Mojo just sounds more right more of the time. The Mojo excels in realism, musicality, smoothness and depth of stage. The Lampi Amber 3 is more vivid than the Mojo or Orchid and with its DSD capability can sound more detailed and resolving.
The Mojo is my favorite dac to date. For long term listening it is a joy. I can relax into the music more with it vs. the Amber 3 which had me thinking more about the sound vs. the music. The Mojo is all about the music!
The upgraded Orchid is very close in its musicality and also sounds just right on most every recording. Some may even prefer the Orchid on certain vocals. The Mojo pulls ahead with a greater sense of ease and control and higher volumes by always staying composed and in control. The Mojo sounds more 3D and layered vs the upgraded Orchid. Not day and night, but noticeable.
The Mojo sells for nearly 3-4 times the cost of the upgraded Orchid so one should not be too surprised.
