The Mojo Audio Mystique Z is a hand-built, non-oversampling R2R DAC using vintage Burr-Brown PCM58P 18-bit ladder-conversion chips. It features separate low-noise power supplies for the digital and analog sections, direct-coupled signal paths, asynchronous XMOS USB, coaxial S/PDIF, and TosLink optical inputs, with single-ended RCA and balanced XLR analog outputs. The Mystique Z is listed by Mojo Audio at $8,999; the higher-priced Mystique Z Quantum is a separate version and should not be conflated with the standard Mystique Z.
