    Using Chord Mojo as standalone?

    Is this possible? By this I mean using it as a desktop dac/amp, powered into the mains all the time, instead of a portable that requires charging. If it is possible, should you keep the battery charged full or what? I am thinking of picking one up, there doesn't seem anything this side of £400...

    Bit of a tricky question. I want to upgrade from Philips X2 headphones. But I just want more of everything it offers. More bass, more slam, more highs, more mids... etc.   So far I have LCD-2 in mind.   Is there anything else? I listen about 50% drum and bass / dubstep and 50% ambient...

    My headphone jack (on the headphones) is faulty. Suggestions?

    So I bought some Philips X2 from Amazon warehouse. Because Philips took 12 days to get back to me, they are now out of their 30 day warranty. Even if Amazon fulfilled it, it would take 5 days to send back, a week to process the refund, then 5 days for a new pair to arrive. Fixing it myself will...

    Stuck! What do I do?

    Hi all! First post so go easy please! So I love music but I listen through a yamaha A-S700 amp and a pair of accoustic energy floorstanders.   I borrowed my Fathers DT770 PRO 80's and listened to them through this amp and fell in love with headphones. But I didn't like the DT's, the bass...
