People happy to spend thousands on diy ferrite cables made in a shed but not on the extra it would cost between Hugo scaler and quartet

Most likely @Triode User

£8,000-£12,000

Too cheap to take seriously as a high end cable.

Its the most detailed portable DAC ever created

No need to mess around with amateur upscaling shenanigans just get mscaler and do it correctly.

Mojo 2 is better than dacs over 2000

You’ve always been on point

Flooding the sub forum with my last post? My comment was to point out that audiosciencereview cannot measure equipment correctly. He is not aware of how to measure chord dacs jitter accurately. For a lot of us it’s much more than a hobby.

Chord dacs are 101% immune to jitter no doubt about it.

And I wouldn’t have wasted so much time “listening” to low quality fisher price converters from other so called hifi brands.

Optical is the best definitely

Considering a lot of music isn’t recorded and mastered well and damage is done during this AD process wouldn’t it beneficial to have a selectable apodizing WTA filter?

Thank you for the sensible post, much needed when things can get overwhelming in chord threads from the more obsessive fans who only take robs word as gospel. I myself have multiple dacs, one being an ESS in my Arcam amplifier, it doesn’t impart a particular sound over the music it actually...

100v on the Vali 3 is real nice, there’s too many “hybrid” valve headphone amps that are voltage starved. Will the upcoming Valhalla 3 be OTC or OTL?

$108K tube amplifier will go nicely with my jvc hello kitty headphones

The k2HD technology seems to be extremely niche. ifi loves to over do the marketing so it could just be another addition to the spec list.

If people are feeding ultra high res PGGB files in to a chord dac then aren't you bypassing the internal WTA filter? isn't that what people buy chord for?

I like it, I think its well used space.

Too many audiophiles let the price tag influence the sound quality. If he prefers the mojo 2 then it’s better even if it is the cheapest chord DAC. Look at the HD650, many “better” and more expensive headphones have come out since then but some people absolutely love them so much they are...

I’d rather just get speakers/headphones with a flat and smooth FR, you can go mad trying to “correct” the sound. I’m sure EQ has its uses for some people though and it’s better to have it as an option at least.

Stick with the no name if it works well.
