Mojo Audio Mystique X - SE or X-24

[No Regrets]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade the digital side of my audio system.I'm in the process of searching for a new dac and trying to learn more about the Mystique X Series of dacs. I would be using it with a CD Transport.

The type of sound that I am seeking from my digital side; I'm looking for...

A fuller, richer harmonic sound, with density and weight. I value the tone of instruments and voices. I want to hear the full harmonic resonance of the body of a cello or stringed instruments. I want to feel the punch of hard hitting drums like from Art Blakey. The breathy tone of Ben Webster on tenor sax. I want to hear the purity and dynamics of brass instruments like trumpets, trombones, etc.

I do not like a lean sounding dac. I don't want it to sound hard, glassy, etched, 2-dimensional.

I want to sense the flesh and blood of the musicians. I want the meat on the bones, so to speak.

I was wondering if anyone who owns/ owned the Mojo Mystique X SE dac would be able to share with me if they think it might give me what I'm looking for in sonics.

I've been dedicated to vinyl for the last 50 years. My vinyl sounds more like real music to me. It's dynamic, without being fatiguing. It sounds more like real performers and real instruments. It sounds more natural and organic. This is what I'm looking for in my digital side of my system.

The problem I face is that I only have a budget of $10,000 and preferably less. Maybe I can't get what I'm looking for sonically for that low of a budget. If that is the case, I will give up on digital and just continue to love and enjoy my vinyl system.

Any help that you could give a fellow music lover would be greatly appreciated!

Best wishes,
Don

Great objectives for the dac that you’ve outlined Don. You’ve given a clear strong sense of the spirit you are looking for.

Hope it’s ok to feed in as I don’t have any useful experience with the mojo dac you’re considering but was wondering how/why you shortlisted the mojo mystique… it’s a reasonably left field choice… what led you to it?

I looked up your gear listing and you have/had an LTA aero… would be good to unpack what you found with that dac (tube zotl output ladder dac) and what you liked and also what you found missing to give some more clues to where you might go in this… I know from reading your posts we have a plenty of overlap in music choice, the visceral verve and drive that your chasing is one of the elements I also love about Art Blakey in full flight… and yes you definitely wouldn’t want to put on Moanin and suddenly have that fierceness and engagement missing in action… that would be horrendous!! There’d be indeed plenty to moan about!

A musically authentic dac at $10k for an experienced vinyl guy into jazz and classical is an interesting proposition... perhaps not an easy task. Subscribed to following how you go. Had you also thought about Lampizator or Abbas?

Cheers
Graham

Hello Graham,

Thank you for your thoughtful post and you are certainly more than welcome to even though you mentioned that you do not have any direct experience with the Mojo line of dacs.

I currently have a new Aero in my system on trial. I feel that I need to let the Aero continue breaking in and that it would be too early for me to come to any conclusions of it's sonic performance. What I can say it that the unit appears to be built very well. I can also say that both Nicholas and Jacob from LTA are true gentlemen in every sense of the word and that they truly care for their customers!

I am new to the digital world. Been kind of living under a rock, so to speak. So, I have a lot of catching up to do!

As to why I ask about the Mojo dacs? I actually came across them by accident. In any case, I have read comments by some that their X series might appeal to a vinyl lover such as myself.

Sometimes you read of people saying that Dac A might sound artificial or etched; or lean and sterile; or tilted up and fatiguing. Others might say Dac B might sound fuller with better harmonics, with better dynamic shadings and better sense of expression, etc.

I would rather have something along the lines of Dac B in that example. Some people have said they feel the Mojo would be more like Dac B. and competes with dacs that are much more costly.

I can't afford much at this time, so I can't play with the MSB, Wadax, etc crowd.

I've read great things about LTA and the Aero Dac and at $4000 I thought it certainly deserves a good trial and consideration.

I am certainly open to other suggestions of dac's that align with my sonic goals as well.

Thank you, Graham for your post!
Best wishes,
Don

Hey Don,

Here is an article I wrote about the different X models. The names are now X '24 to align with in 2024 the base dac being the same but the cores being different. But X SE/X ’24 same thing.

No personal experience with the Mojo. Try to locate Ariet Cerat Helena model , on the second hand market. 10 grand should more than enough, in fact get in touch with the distributors & dealers, as may have a demo unit that would fit in your budget. If you don't mind tubes, try Lampzator. Also, Nagra Dacs are very analogue sounding, second hand hand units can be had for your budget, if you haggle a bit. I, personally have owned SMSL D3 (that uses 2 pairs of NOS 1704 Burr Brown chips) for the last 3 years,(after testing about 15 dacs from 500-15000$ range) which is $3500, or so, and have found it to be quite musical, refined sounding, and devoid of digititis.

Is there anyone else out there that either has or has had the Mojo Mystique X series of dacs that would like to share their thoughts?
Whether they be good, bad or indifferent?

Thanks much!

Hello,

I have the Mojo Mystique X with the Z chip and the nano crystal chokes.

It does everything I hoped it would. It sounds relaxed yet detailed, quiet, natural, effortless.

Most of all it sounds like music. There’s none of that digital haze you can sometimes get with digital playback.

Check out this thoughtful DAC comparison:

Audiogon Discussion Forum

I am in the middle of comparing the sound of six different DACs in my system. I own them all (I know weird) but one of them is still within a trial/retu...

forum.audiogon.com

Mojo is covered nicely.

Also, try emailing Benjamin Zwickel at Mojo with any questions. He’s opinionated but since he knows what he’s talking about I’ve been happy to hear what he has to say.

Hello JJ,

Thank you for your post! Yes, that was a great read over on the A'gon thread. I was hoping to hear from members here on WBF as well. It's great to hear that the Mojo is everything that you wanted it to be!

Out of curiosity, which other dacs have you compared with the Mojo?

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on this thread!
Best wishes,
Don

 

[JJDtown]

I didn’t listen to many DACs before getting the Mojo.

I had a Mytek streamer/DAC for two years that was OK I guess but I always had the sense that something was lacking. It was a bit cold, sterile, or “etched” to use a word you mentioned.

I learned as much as I could about DACs (I’ve since forgotten much of what I learned) and I came to the conclusion that I should get an R2R.

I was very interested in SW1X for a while but in the end I thought the output level might be too high for my system. I was particularly concerned with this issue because the Mytek output was very high and it prevented me from going beyond 9 o’clock on my volume control (with 6 o’clock being zero).

Mojo has a 45 day trial period which is nice so I tried it out. I felt an immediate sense of relief listening to the Mojo DAC. It exudes a sense of calm.

I’m using it with an LDMS server - the two together make for a great combo.

JJ

 

[No Regrets]

Thank you JJ for your thoughtful reply! Based on what you are experiencing and from what I have read from others, it does appear that Mojo is making a very nice dac!

I don't think you can beat a 45 day trial period

Thanks again!
Best wishes,
Don

 

[orrman]

Hey Don,
If you're sticking to solid state I'd add to your research list the Meitner MA3 and TotalDAC Unity (might be out of budget if you can't find it used). If you're open to tube DACs I'd look for a Lampizator Golden Atlantic 3 or something similar.

Good luck with your search!

 

[No Regrets]

Hello Orrman,

Thank you for your post! Great suggestions! I did have an opportunity to talk with a member who has had both the MA3 and the Mojo Dac and he much preferred the sound from the Mojo with it sounding more organic and natural sounding than the MA3.

I don't have any comparison points between the TotalDac and the Mojo yet. However, both of those have been on my radar as well.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me!
Best wishes,
Don

Don,

I don't have either or the 2 Mojo DACs that you are inquiring about but I did have a Mojo Mystique EVO for a few years so I'll give you my Mojo take based upon that. It produced a non-fatiguing, detailed yet relaxed sound that drew me into the music. The only reason that I no longer have it I decided two years ago to purchase a Neodio Origine S2 CD player and offset a portion of its cost by selling the Mojo. As JJ suggested I'd just speak directly to Ben at Mojo about what you are trying to achieve and let him give you his input. I found him easy to speak to and not one to push your decision. With the trial let your ears tell you if it's the right DAC for you should the economics work

Thank you for sharing your experience with your Mojo EVO dac!

Your advice, along with that of JJ's is very sage, indeed. Benjamin and I are corresponding via email and yes, having a 45 day trial is an excellent way to try and find out how well it plays within "my" system. That certainly seems like a very logical path to consider.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me!

If you're open to tube DACs I'd look for a Lampizator Golden Atlantic 3 or something similar.

I am very much "into" tubes and have given thought to the Lampizator dacs. However, I've been in contact with a member that had owned both the GA 3 and the Mojo Audio Mystique X-ZNC dac and ended up selling off the Lampi. The way he described the sound differences to me between those two dacs, align with what I'm looking for in a dac, so I think I may prefer the Mojo over the Lampi.

I do appreciate your suggestions though!

Best wishes,
Don

I want to put in a word for Audio Mirror. I was using the DAC inside my Goldmund 590 and tried the Audio Mirror DAC and there is in my mind no need to keep searching. Tube power supply and output no caps in the signal path. As I have changed other things in my system it seems to add no coloration of it's own.It just never seems to be a limiting factor. Russian tibes and designor in USA. Very helpfull and good customer service. $7500 list price. I'm pretty fanatical about my sound but this is a keeper for me.

So, a lot has transpired over the last couple of months. I guess I’ll just start at the beginning... Warning... I tend to get long winded (my wife often jokes that I should have been a preacher due to my gift of gab, lol).

So, after being devoted to vinyl for the last 50+ years, I have curated probably over 1,000 truly mint records (both in jazz and classical) that play without noise, pops or clicks. They have a full, rich, harmonically fleshed out sound with an excellent dynamic structure, but at the same time plays with a natural sense of ease and flow, without being etched or hard. Just truly wonderfully musical in every sense of the word.

However, I have come to know and understand that there is a great amount of music out there that is performed by some really talented musicians that I cannot obtain on vinyl and I don’t want to miss out on hearing it. So, my goal was to try and develop a digital side to my audio system what will engage my mind, my heart and my soul just as my vinyl does for me.

I figured the best way would be to invest in a separate dac and dedicated cd transport. Unfortunately though, I don’t have a huge budget for this endeavor. I’ve had many medical issues over the last several years which has cost me many thousands of dollars each and every year and sadly, I don’t really see that coming to an end anytime soon. So at the moment, I only had about $10,000 ( and was hoping to preferably spend less ) that I felt comfortable spending toward this project as I feel vinyl will likely still be my primary and preferred source.

So, I ended up buying a brand new Mojo Mystique X-24AM dac from Benjamin. Oh btw, the 24 simply stands for the year 2024. The "AM" stands for Amorphous Cores by the Swiss Company Lundahl who makes audiophile transformers and chokes.

I had given some thought to other dacs as well, but I would have to buy most of them on the used market and then there would be no return options available. I’d have put them up for sale and wait for a buyer; and who knows what kind of loss I’d take. I did originally purchase a new LTA Aero Dac and had it at home on a trial basis. It truly was an amazing dac with an unbelievable amount of what I would simply call a "purity of tone" with dynamics that is unforgettable! A must listen for those of you looking in the $4000 or above price range. Nicholas and Jacob from LTA are absolutely top notch gentleman and are wonderful to work with... highest of recommendations!

I decided to try the Mojo, because i have read that many people who appreciate vinyl playback seem to like what this dac does. That it plays music in a way that doesn’t sound hard or etched or thin or lean or "digital" in the bad sense of the word. I know that digital has the ability to sound really, really good. I just didn’t really know how much one would have to pay and if I could afford to pay for what is considered the really, really good sounding units.

This brand new Mojo was on sale with $1,000 off and it still cost me nearly $7700 including the shipping! Holy Crap; and I still had to buy a dedicated cd transport yet. Oh my Lord... what was I getting myself into, lol.

I’ve had the Mojo Dac running 24/7, with my cd player on repeat, since I’ve received it and now have over 500 hours on it. I am listening to it right now as I type this message and I am getting very excited as the sound has really opened up now and I am really liking what I’m hearing! (It actually really started to sing quite beautifully at around 150 hours - but amazingly, it somehow continues to keep sounding better and better!)

The sound is full; it’s rich; it’s organic; it’s dynamic; it’s got great tone; it’s got detail; it’s got bass; it’s got weight and density...I’m loving that when it plays the "note" that you hear the attack of the note, but it’s not hard or over emphasized. You hear the full harmonic structure of the note (the fullness of sound/ the meat on the bones); and you can hear the decay of the note (ie: ringing of the cymbals/ bells/ or the trailing off of a sustained piano note).

With the Mojo, it sounds dynamic without sounding hard. It plays in a relaxed and natural way without becoming fatiguing, but yet at the same time it still plays with speed, with dynamic expression and with emotion!

So, I recently ended up taking a look at USa’mart one day and just moments prior to me bringing up the site, a seller posted a used black (which goes very nicely with the rest of my gear) Jay’s Audio CDT2-MK3 dedicated cd transport for sale in like new condition which included the Headquarter Qstab bone cd clamp at a price that was attractive to me, so I bought it!

I couldn’t believe the timing of it getting listed moments before I decided to look at the ad’s! It almost felt like it was meant to be! I paid more for the Mojo than I had originally planned on paying for a dac, but I can honestly say that I’m glad I gave it a try as the Mojo, in my humble opinion, is worth every penny I paid for it. It’s got great tone, body, weight, timing, and dynamics without being forced. There is no glare, hardness or digital nasties. My wife actually comes into my music room and comments on how great it sounds. She often looks to see if I have a vinyl record spinning!!! That’s a huge compliment to the Mojo and is exactly what I was hoping for.

Now, with the Jay’s CD Transport, the sound has gotten even better in every respect. The Jay’s does indeed improve the sound very nicely. What I notice with the Jay’s in place is not only more foundation to the music, but also more wholeness to the music. The sound becomes even more full, weighty and dynamic. There is also at the same time more nuance; you also hear more into the soundstage, almost eerily so. There is more space, more ambient cues, more naturalism, just more of everything in a very good and musical way... Needless to say, I’m very happy right now with the digital side of my system and am absolutely amazed at the sound that I am getting from the small $10K budget that I had to work with!

I truly appreciate everyone taking the time to share their thoughts, experiences, and advice with me by posting to my thread. I just really wanted to take a moment to circle back and let you all know a little bit about my journey and where I landed.

Although I am very technically challenged, I will try and post a pic of the Jay's cd transport and the Mojo residing in my system... don't know if it will work, lol. (Please forgive the wide angle distortions)

Thank you for allowing me to indulge you all, with my excitement!

That’s great news Don… good it’s working out and that the audio gods are fully behind your purchases.

It’s a lovely looking setup and that montagnana adds richly to the spirit of the room… perhaps it’s dual purpose and like a fab tonewood room resonator... beautiful instrument! Enjoy it in great health.

I have wondered about the CD2 MK3. Ben at Mojo told me get the CD3 MK3. I would rather spend $2k than $5k. Sounds like its playing well.

I was posting a while back about setting up my digital only in the new room. I was pretty stunned how amazing the whole of the system was playing with the Mojo DAC and Mojo Server. I think many write it off. Its not vinyl. I didn't spend $90,000. How could I beging to enjoy it. Whatever. Mojo audio DAC play fantastic. Especially when fed a good source.
