![]() ![]() I also have a 2Qute (Hugo 1 DAC w/o HP amp) in my stereo system and the main difference I hear in comparison to the Mojo is a more neutral and maybe even more detailed presentation.īut I have to say I didn't really compare critically, after I heard how the Mojo destroyed my previous €4000 DAC in the Stereo I got the 2Qute and ever since I am just enjoying the music, no matter on the stereo or with my portable solution. The closed Beyerdynamic DT1770PRO, unlike the cheaper DT770AE, sets you back 599 and is a lot closer to the AudioQuest NightOwl price wise. Both are great headphones, just very different. Hard for me to imagine the DFR beating the Mojo in that area. Going back to the DT770 coming from the NightOwl is tough and it takes a while to get used to the completely different sound signature. Before reading this NightOwl article, I do recommend reading up on the AudioQuest NightHawk first should you be unfamiliar with it. The original NightHawk’s price at the release was 599. Prabably gonna have to sell for half price too. The AudioQuest NightOwl’s price is set at 699USD and it is available on and from hundreds of worldwide dealers. ![]() I also love the depth of the soundstage of the Hawks I get with the Mojo, which can even portray a whole church! 400i audioquest nighthawk carbon audioquest nightowl carbon audioquest-nighthawk-headphones Prev. The Hawk just sounds more realistic with especially piano (I used to play the piano, so I think I am more sensitive to how it sounds) The Owl has a better defined bass through, and makes for a great closed HP with a very good soundstage for a closed design. *Shrugs*įully agree on the NightHawks, they really let you enjoy the music instead of scrutinizing it! The timbre is also very good IMHO better than the NightOwl. I've theorized that it's because the AudioQuest cable that came with broke on me and ever since then I've had a more difficult time picking up on spatial cues.ĪudioQuest claims their cables improve timing so it could be that. I've had mine for over 2 years now and I proclaimed them to be my endgame shortly after I got them, but the novelty has faded a little I must admit. I've found that the Nighthawk makes virtually any song listenable because it constructs a song in a way that's meant to be taken for what it is and not analyzed, if that makes sense. I have a playlist of well recorded music that I occasionally visit, but for the most part I listen to Electronic music without the dance part! I've heard that upgrading to Hugo 2 yields an immense boost in transparency and soundstage size so I think I would enjoy that one quite a bit. I just enjoy myself more with the Red, in combination with the Nighthawk specifically.įor me personally, presentation is everything!Īs you mentioned, I also think it's a flavour/characteristic of the Sabre DACs.Ĭhord was more occupied with absolute detail in the Mojo. Now to be clear, they're not worlds apart, but enough for me to tell a difference If I look for it, and I inevitably do. ![]()
