What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
FiiO K11
Positive but single-sourced: among whitelisted testers, only SoundGuys published a hands-on review of the exact standard K11 (What Hi-Fi and TechRadar covered only the R2R variant or other FiiO DACs). SoundGuys praised the clean, detailed output, plentiful I/O and compact size, but flagged a clunky menu, over-bright default LED and too-light chassis. No lab measurements taken. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Clean, detailed output with no noticeable coloration; Plentiful I/O (optical/coax/USB in; 6.4mm + 4.4mm outputs run simultaneously; line out); Compact, desktop-friendly size with Mac-like aesthetics.
Flagged: Clunky, unintuitive menu; changing gain is a 4-step operation; Default LED is too bright blue and awkward to turn off; Too light; feet lack grip so the unit slides when plugging in headphones; external power brick.
Chord Mojo 2
All three whitelisted reviewers (What Hi-Fi?, TechRadar, Digital Trends) rate the Mojo 2 a standout portable DAC/headphone amp with musical, highly detailed sound that transforms laptop and phone audio; none ran instrumented lab measurements, though Digital Trends hands-on verified the ~8-hour battery life over about a month. All three flag the convoluted colour-coded control interface that requires the manual, and two call it too bulky to be truly portable and criticise the dated Micro-USB charging. (3 sourced reviews, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Musical, highly detailed, reference-grade sound that transforms laptop/phone audio; Extensive inputs and can drive two pairs of headphones at once; Customizable lossless tone/EQ via the UHD DSP to tailor headphone sound.
Flagged: Convoluted, unintuitive colour-coded control interface that needs the manual; Too big and heavy to be a truly portable device; Dated Micro-USB charging port.
