What a long, strange trip it's been -- (Robert Hunter)

My place on the schiit queue has moved up one! Hopefully I will be able to do a bifrost/mojo comparison review. It's certainly a handy, whimsical little device, but ultimately I am not bullish on the portable amp/dac market. If you want portable, make better AirPods ala sennheiser. If you want desktop, invest in a traditional chain. The best I could imagine would be if you already require a dac/amp as in KSE1500. Then, adding in an a lossless chip for streaming and the proprietary code of a really good DAC might make the difference. Having a cable go from phone to dac in my pocket has always been a dreadful experience for me.

I can't even handle wires on portable earphones now. Apple has ruined me.

Headphones can be wireless? I thought wireless was the devil.
Yes! And they can come with a really cute carrying case that can match your ensemble.

Generally, Apple have excellent design. However, sometimes they drop an absolute clanger!

That handbag/bra is simply hideous!

That‘s up there with the „Fisher Price“ iMac G3 🙂.

Wireless 'phones for watching TV at night are awesome. Loved my Senn RS-120. OTOH, not all TVs have headphone jacks :-O

Just started Mike's talk from yesterday. As a non-specialist, a lot of this information is good to hear repeated to me.

Chord Mojo is a nice little device to use while Bifrost is out of commission & awaiting the upgrade system. Clearly a different use case - better for my European travels - but I am generally warm to it. However, the battery powered operation is clearly a poor fit for desktop/living room locations. As with KSE1500, I have to think about charging "yet another" device.

Late as in deceased? Then it has to quite indeed.

"Late XXXX" is how Apple differentiates between models that were introduced late in the model year. I suspect you knew that but I'm just trying to help. :)

Yeah.
Some of my lame jokes are so lame I hate myself for making them.
