Τι είναι αυτό; Ο Ελβετός Magico;

[Dr Pan K]

Ας πούμε.. είναι αρκετά χρόνια στην πιάτσα, σοβαρή πρόταση με καλό ήχο και αρκετά ψηλές τιμές. Πριν κάνα 5ρι χρόνια πρέπει να είχαν κατεβάσει το πιο ακριβό δωμάτιο στο Μόναχο (με τα καλώδια του Zensati και ενισχυτές Viola https://www.google.com/amp/s/parttimeau ... 6-zensati/ )

Πω πω, το θυμάμαι αυτό το σύστημα, υπερβολικό σε όλα του. Νομίζω τα ηχεία ήταν κατασκευασμένα από μονομπλόκ αλουμίνιο cnc αν δεν απατώμαι.

(...) Νομίζω τα ηχεία ήταν κατασκευασμένα από μονομπλόκ αλουμίνιο cnc αν δεν απατώμαι.

Μα νομίζω κι αυτά από μονομπλόκ αλουμίνιο είναι σμιλεμένα με CNC, εξ' ου και ο χαρακτηρισμός μου για Magico Ελβετίας. Τα Viola τα θυμάμαι από τον Θέμη, πολύ ωραία μηχανήματα...

[Dr Pan K]

Εγω Magico να παιζει καλα δεν εχω ακουσει, Stenheim ομως ναι... Και ας εχουν καλυτερη καμπινα τα Magico, και πιο εξωτικες μοναδες. Γενικα απο τα αλλουμινενια ηχεια προτιμω τα Stenheim και τα Hiro απο τα Magico και τα YG.

PS για οσους θελουν να αγορασουν αλουμινενια καμπινα on a budget, ενα απο τα κορυφαια διδρομα της ιστοριας ειναι τα Technics SB-F1-2-3, τα οποια ακομα τα αντιγραφουν (πχ βλεπε Amphion)

Να πω δυο λογια για τον MC3500, ηταν ο ενισχυτης με τον οποιο εγινε το φεστιβαλ του Woodstock και αποτελει τον πλεον συλλεκτικο και ακριβο τελικο της εταιριας. Ειχε καποια θεματα με υλικα εποχης αλλα οσοι τον εχουν πινουν νερο στο ονομα του. Αποτελει τον πραγματικο θρυλο της McIntosh, οδηγει τα παντα και το εκανε σε μια εποχη που δεν υπηρχε Class D για τις μικροφωνικες εγκαταστασεις.

Chord
Mojo 2 portable DAC and Headphone amp

Mute function, four-setting crossfeed adjustment, a button-lock feature for travelling, plus the fully lossless tone controls.

New USB-C data input + optical, coaxial (incl. dual-data for the M Scaler) and Micro USB. Two 3.5 mm mini-jack headphone outputs

FPGA-based battery-charging system. The tech brings much faster charging rates, coupled with a huge 75 % reduction in power loss for cooler, more efficient charging. Capacity is up by 9 %, resulting in better efficiency and improved battery life, which is now better than eight hours.

Mojo 2’s established ‘Intelligent Desktop Mode’ technology has also been improved, with an isolated battery and PSU redesign to support battery-free operation without any losses in sound quality, plus improved filtering and isolation.

Mojo 2 is now DC-coupled with a digital DC servo. It benefits from an improved WTA (Watts Transient Aligned) filter, now offering 40,960 taps (the technical indicator of how complex the interpolation filter is), using 40 DSP cores.

Additionally, an improved noise-shaper offers greater depth and detail perception, plus improvements to the 4e Pulse Array DAC introduce lower distortion and out-of-band noise. Greater neutrality has also been achieved, thanks to the elimination of coupling capacitors.

104-bit custom DSP core running at 705/768 kHz

18 step volume control
The volume control range has also been improved from +18 dB to -108 dB, and now benefits from two distinct operational ranges: low and high volume.

A new four-setting crossfeed function, also DSP-controlled, brings speaker-like spatial effects for flexible headphone listening.

Mojo 2 is fully compatible with the Poly streamer/server, enabling high-resolution streaming and up to 2 TB of solid-state library storage and playback when using the microSD card slot.

New ‘UHD DSP’: The world’s first lossless DSP: unrivalled compatibility with any headphone.
New USB-C data input: Fourth digital input for increased flexibility
New menu system and button: Easy navigation of the new UHD DSP features
Better battery/charging: FPGA-management; faster, cooler charging; capacity up 9 %
Better sound: DC-coupled, digital DC servo, improved proprietary WTA filter, 40,960 taps and 40 DSP cores, improved noise-shaper, improved 4e Pulse Array DAC, plus more neutral.
UK SRP £449.
