    Android phones and USB DACs

    My goodness, I wish that I had found this thread a while ago, been wondering where I should go to ask this:   I have a samsung s6 edge + chord mojo. This bloody combination pops, stutters and clicks with all streaming (spotify) apps! Noticeably too :(    Is there any way that I can somehow...

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    Hey all, Love the sound performance from my Mojo but I was wondering if there is any way to get streaming apps such as Deezer or Apple music to stop popping and clicking? I'm not a fan of Tidal at all, so is there a way to get the same functionality that Tidal has with UAPP through another...

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Is there any way, besides UAPP, to get streaming apps such as Deezer or Apple music to stop popping and clicking? I'm not a fan of Tidal at all, so is there a way to get the same functionality that Tidal has with UAPP through another method on Android? It's driving me insane that such an...

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    I have exactly the same issue. Only solved through UAPP, which makes all my streaming services bloody useless. Can't believe that chord thought that this was OK?

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    What did you change to? I doubt that I will be changing the Mojo for a long time as the ability to listen wherever (especially away from my noisy PC) is a Godsend. I can definitely understand changing the He-400i for something a little more spacious but I'm loving how nice and meaty all the...

    Welp ... it's official: I have baaaaad luck.    After 2 faulty He-400i's shipped back and forth from China to South Africa, 1x faulty Chord Mojo (does this even happen?), ear infection that caused a build up of fluid and me needing to go to the doctor because I thought I was going deaf  I have...

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Hey all, is this issue normal with the Mojo? I'm getting popping and clicking noises with my Mojo whenever I play through DS, like in the Groove app and Musicbee. I switched over to ASIO and the issue disappeared. The same thing was happening with poweramp until I started using UAPP. Nothing...

    Thanks for the reply! That's quite an interesting EQ, don't you find the highs too sharp?

    I've set this up so far :) I'm just not sure if I'm buggering something else up in the process!

    Does anyone have a screenshot of a Fun EQ that they are using with their PEACE Apo?   I've been playing around and had some great results but I'm not 100% sure what I should adjusting to get a nice fun EQ out of my He-400i's   Thanks in advance

    Living in South Africa that's pretty tough ... I phoned two local stores asking for headphone amps, they said they don't really sell those and that they'd phone around ... Came back with Pro-ject amps as an answer! Ha!   Finding a Chord Mojo supplier was a big surprise :)    I guess I should...

    And my bad luck runs deep ... currently waiting on a replacement Mojo due to a faulty LED ball thingy ... Like is that even heard of ?

    Thanks DavidA,   I think that my perception of bass needs changing as it's now an open pair. I've just tried The Shins - Sea Legs with a nice bass guitar running through and it sounds fantastic through either headphones, but that lack of pulsating air is something to adjust to ... I think my...

    Thanks for the reply, the issues for the first was broken grill/scuffed, second was broken right speaker ... Now that I think about it I think I'm actually only on my third!   But I'm trying it now off of my HP jack of my S6 edge and it sounds alright, but again lacking body ... I'm coming...

    Hey all,   In serious need of help: I received 3 faulty pairs of headphones in a row from Head-Director, and on my 4th pair of he-400i's I've got the feeling that I've got another dud ... The bass and body is completely missing. The music is all there but there is no sense of any power or...

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Seems I have dirty dirty USB power coming out of my PC ... My Mojo buzzes like a bee in heat when I charge it through my PC. Should I pick up a powered USB hub such as this Hootoo 7 port (Wirecutter suggestion): http://preview.tinyurl.com/hc4k2vf   Or rather get a Schiit Wyrd?   Any other...

    Fan-f$#@ing-tastic! Really enjoying it ... the rattle seems to be from only one of the buttons ... Damn, every time I touch it I can hear and feel a rattle. Other than that: perfection

    How rattly should these buttons be? Mine rattle a bit even if pick it up off the desk or move it ... and for a portable item it seems a bit weird .... I know rattle is normal, but to what degree?

    Just received my Mojo and started listening ... and this thing is fricken incredible! It's the most effortless representation of music I've heard!!! Super happy with it so far :D ... looking forward to more time with it (it's driving my He-400i to perfection)

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    More than enough, leaning towards a bit much, depending on what you are listening to. It'll pick up on bad quality mp3s etc. and some badly recorded songs with distortion (although sometimes then the distortion is there as part of the song), but sometimes the distortion is a bit much ...

    Thanks so much, yeah I agree with what you said, and as I'm sort of remotely located in South Africa, the tube rolling aspect would largely be lost on me.   I'm leaning towards the Vali 2 as I feel I need to add some more lusciousness to the sound. Power wise I'm hoping that it is more than...

    Garage 1217 Project Starlight seems to be the only one within spitting distance of the Vali, feel it's comparable? Thanks

    Hifiman he-400i Impressions and Discussion

    Thanks, I had myself prepared for the Garage 1217 suggestion already, but I LITERALLY have no idea what to choose from their amps. Any suggestions out there?   Anyone have input on the Magni 2U vs Vali 2?
