[QUOTE="8thMan, post: 845455, member: 14586"] From the advice I've been given on this thread and via PM's the theme seems to be: 1) I will only get marginal increases with an upgraded amp with my EL-8's 2) If I opt to upgrade my headphones to the LCD series then I won't get the full performance using the mojo as amplification. 3) For significant improvements it would be best to upgrade the amp and headphone together As my budget will not allow me to upgrade both at this stage, the best option for me I think would be to get amp that although I might not be able to extract it's maximum performance with the EL-8's at the moment, will allow me to upgrade the headphones at a later time. My preference would be for a one box solution, DAC and amp together but that allows the option for an external DAC to be used if i want to go that route later. Having said all of that I think I may not have thought this through properly as my source for music will be Tidal Hi-Fi with my Samsung S7 as a source so that sort of limits my options. Thanks to all that have replied so far for the great advice :mates: [/QUOTE]
