@grannyring So interesting, after so many recent innovations in formats and multiples of sampling rates, to be drawn back to an non-oversampling R2R DAC. I’m looking at this from the perspective of an Esoteric K-01X, which has a fine DAC section at a higher price point, but I no longer spin discs. Never been a Lampi fan, which IMO always sounded syrupy. Apart from great sound, the K-01X is heroically built to a fit and finish well above Mojo--except that Mojo, in addition to its vintage NOS chip, dangles intriguing cottage industry cues like Lundahl amorphous trannies, graphene, ERS, 2575 nude resistors, etc. I’ve learned through DIY that these do make a difference, and you won’t find them in TOTL mainstream offers, probably owing to cost of goods. They do beckon. BTW, from the PCB photos it looks like the Mojo is not a fully balanced design, and uses a SE-to-balanced converter. Not a deal killer, but a compromise.
