Mojo Audio Mystique EVO

@grannyring @veroguy Your speakers may perform better at louder volumes. For example, there’s a consensus that the Scanspeak Revelator series woofers are power-hungry speakers, which means that the woofers sing their best at louder volumes than at low levels. This information is from users that I’ve talked to for home and car audio systems.

I have experience with 7100 and 6600 AirCirc tweeters on the dash of my car, and I currently use the Revelator woofers in my Ellam-FLEX 3W. These speakers keep their composure at loud volumes, and you’re naturally going to hear more details.

I’m not saying that you’re not hearing what you’re hearing. I believe you regarding the sound swelling as you turn up the volume. You know your system better than anyone, and I’m looking forward to owning a Mojo EVO DAC in the future.

I was also interested in the “can’t get it loud enough” ‘type’ of statements. I’ve had components before that made the system seem like I couldn’t ever get it loud enough. That’s not preferable for me. Not my goal to have to have more volume to ‘get there’, especially not +10db. 
 I’ve always thought this was a symptom of rounded-off transients or a lack of ‘bite’ to the sound, that, imo some music needs. Sometimes smoothness can be taken to far and upset the ‘excitement’ factor... Probably not the case here though ?? 

You folks missed the point and this is so important. The reason it doesn’t sound loud is the harmonic coherency…everything is in proper time and tune. Also, the absense of noise. Distortion sounds loud. 

Looking forward to reading more impressions... this dac has been on my radar ever since I saw the internal construction and attention to detail (especially in the power supply). Very happy with my Audio Mirror T3-SE, and since it uses the same r2r chips, I see the evos as a natural potential upgrade path.

And didn't know you'd made the switch Bill @grannyring Congrats on the extremely positive upgrade experience...

Good to hear. I had a feeling what I was perceiving surely wasn’t the case. 

So to clarify, you guys can still enjoy your music just the same at low levels, it’s just that the ability to play much louder than before is there?    
Because one of @viroguy ‘s statements eludes to more details at that much higher vol. level.
