I am using Grace Design SDAC -> Venture Electronics RunAbout Plus (with warp core) -> HD6XX
https://www.veclan.com/engappliance_sel_one...anceVo.eac_id=2
The Grace SDAC is USD79 and Venture Electronics RunAbout Plus (with warp core) is USD158
Around RM1100 including shipping. It is very very good. Well, I find nothing to complain.
Oh ya, I am also using Black Litz cable (around RM260) by Venture Electronics.
I'm not going to have any upgrade for a very long time. biggrin.gif

I used to own mojo and owning nano bl now. It's not reliable to use my memory for comparison but I remember that mojo being more detail and wider in soundstage. The vocal is sweeter too with mojo. But again, take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Just chime in because no one is giving their opinion yet.

I am not sure if you can try it locally unless someone has it. But, you can try starspicker or amplified if they have it.

nevertheless, you can buy it from

Shopee

or
digikey.my

and of course,
its original website

Thank you for your reply. Then i want to know why did you sell off your chord mojo and keep the nano bl ? Any shortcomings that i need to know ? For the amp section of the nano bl , to me it is just nice only. Not much headroom to spare though.

I sold my mojo because I am not using it as portable solution much back in the day. A year later I started to get into portable audio and ifi gave me the nano bl for free (giveaway of the review unit). Not the best but works well with aune b1s thus decided to keep it. Not because the nano bl being better than mojo.

Like you said, the nano bl is nice but not much of headroom. Again, now that I don't have the mojo, I am not sure how they compare head-to-head.
