I’ve owned shitt yygy, Denafrips Pontus and terminator. Nothing bad about any of them they all, had their pluses. However the Holo spring may Kte stopped me from looking. Great build and looks. Does not get in the way of the music. Might be better out there, but is good enough.
I am checking out these DAC's for my system
I am building a system and all I have left to get is the DAC and maybe a streamer. I really an at a loss on which DAC to get. I am wanting to stream music and also use my system for watching movies. My equipment currently is SMC audio tic-2 GT24 preamp and DNA.5 GT24 amp with GR Research NX-otica's and Open Baffle subs. The DAC's that interest me are
Mojo Audio Mystique X SE- I will have to purchase used and I will need to use and adapter to connect to my TV because it doesn't have toslink.
Mojo Audio Mystique Y- It only has a USB connection so I am not sure how to connect to my TV. Mojo audio DAC's have really good reviews but If they only had toslink. I am really intrigued with the choke in the power supply. I think there might be something to that.
Holo Audio May KTE- People say the mojo sounds better more natural but this DAC still holds a pretty good price used and doesn't last long on the used market.
Musetec mh-da006- This DAC is interesting but I am afraid it will be fatiguing.
Audio Mirror Tubadour v- This just seemed interesting but afraid tubes won't last very long if I watch a bunch of movies etc.
Denafrips terminator plus- These are always for sale used which make me nervous.
If you have any of these DAC's or have listened them let me know from your favorite on down.

It's been quite the journey Started with the Allo Piano DAC with the clocker card Then the MHDT Orchid with the 6922 tube adapter To the PS Audio Mk1 To the Mojo Mystique SE. I just updated to the USB cable recommended by Mojo and it sounds fantastic. The musical presence is palatable and by FAR the best DAC OF the bunch and better than the others I've heard in the stores. |
@danager Would you please share what USB cable Mojo recommends? TIA |
PineTree Audio braided USB cable. I think it was well worth the investment and I'm typically a skeptic on these things. https://sites.google.com/view/pine-tree-audio/digital/banshee-usb-2-0
