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

    Got my Chord Mojo in earlier today, and have been listening to them for about 3-4 hours after they fully charged.   When I first got it in the mail, I was a little taken back. I thought the thing was supposed to be small, but didn't expect it to be THAT small! In my mind I was thinking, I paid...

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

      Will do. Would be easy enough to A/B, so it makes sense to do it.    I got my Lyr years ago, and it's a Lyr 1. I'm still using the Stock tubes that it came with, and have never changed them out or done anything with them since I first got it. I've been satisfied with the Lyr + the Fiio, but...

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

    Yeah, I think I read in the HD800 thread, people that had the Mojo and HD800 said they preferred using the Mojo for both DAC + Amp. They had even tried using a separate amp, and ended up liking the sound better by only using the Chord Mojo. I'll just try that first. I'm not a super audiophile...

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

    Sorry for the late reply. Had some things come up. Thanks for the advice. I did a lot of thinking, and decided to take the plunge and order a Chord Mojo. Currently I have a Schiit Lyr + Fiio E17 combo amping my HD800. I know my set up isn't what most people would use. Truth be told, I'm not...

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

    Going to take the plunge and order one. Had a quick question about cables. I currently have a Schiit Lyr +Fiio E17 DAC. I have all this running to my PC, and my HD-800 directly connects to the AMP (with the big Jack). I assume I need a cable adapter, since my HD800 would plug into the smaller...

    The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread

        Ah. Unfortunately I have no place to check them out (no hi-fi shops near me, and I would have to wait for the next Headphone convention and drive 4 hours to it). And Amazon isn't selling it (so no 30 day return). Hmm. I'll have to think on this. The more I read about the Chord Mojo, the...

    New Member Introductions thread

    Hi guys,   My name is Ellie (and I have freckles lol). I've been an audiophile for 10 years now. I've loved collecting headphones. I would say, I'm a casual audiophile in that, I don't really understand all the technical aspects. And I don't have the best ear for stuff. But I still enjoy high...

    I don't have anywhere near me that has this to test. But I'm seriously considering getting this for my HD800. Think I'll order this off Moon Audio, as I can't find any other retailer I know that is selling it, and that has it in stock. I currently have a Lyr/E17 set up. I'm saving up for a...

      Cheers. The Mojo is def tempting since I'm using an E17 DAC. And my original idea was to have an $800 budget to get an "inbetween" set up. Basically, not endgame, but something to hold me over for the next 2-3 years. I'm almost willing to give the Mojo a shot, and it it sounds much better...

    The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread

      Yeah, the praise for this is crazy. I keep reading site after site, review after review. It's almost too good to be true. I still am drawn more to the Schiit set up. Kind of a lame reason, but I think the Schiit + HD800 looks aesthetically pleasing. Would look amazing on my desktop. Plus...

    The (new) HD800 Impressions Thread

      Thanks!   Question, I have the first Lyr model. I keep getting recommends to get Vahalla 2 + Bifrost. The Lyr 2 is more than the Vahalla 2. Is Valhalla 2 better than the Lyr I have? Or is it a downgrade?   Also as a side note, I'm also looking at the Chord Mojo. Doesn't look like Amazon...

    Totally new here. But I'm absolutely amazed by this device. Barely just heard about it, and it's so impressive to me given its size and what it does. As well as what other people are saying about the quality. This is on my list of what I am considering getting next.

    Hi everyone, Wanted to first apologize for not replying sooner. Had some family emergency come up, so had to deal with that (everything is okay, phew). So yeah, I'm reading through all the replies now. I just wanted to thank everyone for being so welcoming and kind. For all the advice and not...

    Hey guys, I'm new here.    Hopefully this is the right thread to ask this. If not, I'll edit my post (I apologize). I recently got the HD800. Been dreaming about getting them ever since they first were released. The money was finally right, and so was the timing. So I grabbed one for my...
