Mojo Audio, Nu-Vista, Spendor

by hbarrel on Opinions Please

Description

Dedicated power lines feed the hospital grade connectors.
I got Mojo-Audio’s last usb only DAC. (Upgraded the opamps to Staccato.)
Benjamin also built a Linux based i5 32g ram NUC with his Dejavu software and jRiver.
Added a Luminati power supply for the NUC.
Took some doing and ran a cat 6a Ethernet cable to the computer. The Dejavu software has a  Qobuz interface.

    • Diffuser panels / sound absorbing Bought off Amazon
    Initially bought 2 diffuser panels and one sound absorber for behind my head. 
    Set the diffusers on top of chair. The improvement was immediate! 👍👍
    Got two more and set them on the floor. Holy cow. Brought out some bass and settle out the highs. 👍👍👍
    I pretty much scoffed at room treatments. 
    No more.

This is the most intriguing system I have seen on Audiogon. It looks like dollar per dollar an extremely difficult system to beat. I am a big fan of Blue Circle but I have only used their tubed separates. Would you mind sharing your experiences with this integrated? Also, I almost bought a pair of Shahinian Obelisks but I opted for JM Reynaud instead. I was concerned about the imaging. How have you found the Shahinians to perform vs full range drivers? Thanks for your time.
