It seems like the Mojo is frequently compared with the DragonFly Red, so that might be worth a look. I'm a big fan of the Schiit Fulla 2. It's like a swiss army knife for audio. Cool big-ass volume knob and a great value at $99. Might have more power than you need though
@imackler That was my original thought about the Fulla 2 with sensitive ‘phones. The usable range on the volume pot is pretty narrow (unless you like to crank it up)
The (just released) iDSD Nano BL is one of the few portable amps that actually interest me. Good price. Not sabre. Has a battery, but the vibe I get is that iDSD does a good job with power/shielding issues on their portable devices. Outside of that, I'd hunt down a Leckerton UHA6S-MKII and pair it with a dac dongle.
The Grace is just better than the Mojo Tom. I've no idea how it fairs with sensitive BA IEMs though. If you try it, be sure to plug it into the wall and let it warm up for an hour or so.
I liked the M9xx/M900 a lot when I had it, as well. DAC section is better (quality) than the amp, IME.. but it's pretty nice overall. It pairs really really well with highly sensitive IEMs, also (multi-BA, custom IEMs). No noise, digital vol. control that's super granular.
