Hard for me to imagine the DFR beating the Mojo in that area. I also love the depth of the soundstage of the Hawks I get with the Mojo, which can even portray a whole church! 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.
