Tiny $650 DAC/amp redefines portable listening for any headphones

Tom’s Guide reviews the Mojo 2, a $650 portable DAC/amp that powers a wide range of headphones with USB‑C charging and a 4.4mm balanced output. It delivers detailed highs and a larger soundstage for on‑the‑go listening, making it a strong pick for audiophiles who need portability, though it’s not without quirks—battery life is about 8 hours and the menu system can be fiddly for some. It’s best for demanding headphones, but not all can benefit equally, and a cheaper alternative like the iFi Hip DAC is suggested for those on a tighter budget.

This change prompted the author to purchase a discounted pair of Focal Elegia headphones, which, when paired with the DAC, provided a satisfying listening experience. The convenience of USB-C has made using the DAC and headphones more enjoyable, marking a newfound appreciation for the iPhone's switch to the new connection standard.
