"Familiar in form but next-level everywhere else, the Mojo 2 is the 'The Godfather Part II' of DAC sequels... Music has the vividity of a stained-glass window here — bright, intricate and demanding of your attention..."
—What Hi-Fi?, five-star review, 2022 Product of the Year Winner: Best DAC
"Bass is bold, straight-edged and loaded with detail both broad and fine. The midrange is explicit in its powers of communication. The top of the frequency range has bite and shine, but is controlled well enough to avoid any hardness..."
—Simon Lucas, TechRadar, five-star review
“There is no shortage of power nor of fine detail; I was impressed on several occasions at the way it could pick out the quieter sounds.”
—Hi-Fi+, 2022 Highly Commended Product Award, Personal Audio Electronics
"Whether plugged into a computer, phone or streaming via Poly and Roon, the Mojo 2 is not only a highly capable DAC/headphone amplifier but a lovely bit of kit that should still be giving great service in five years — and beyond."
—Jay Garrett, StereoNET, Applause Award
