MOJO AUDIO MYSTIQUE X DAC INTRODUCED

Mojo Audio of Albuquerque, New Mexico, has introduced the new Mojo Audio Mystique X DAC.

The Mojo Audio Mystique X DAC uses the same non-oversampling direct-coupled R-2R topology, NOS AD1862 ladder DAC chips, and LC choke-input power supplies, as their Mystique EVO Pro. This is all housed in an extruded aluminium chassis.
