New Head-Fier
Pros: Compact size, Good Dac capabilty.
Cons: Poor bundle, not punchy bass, Doesn't charge when using.
Introduction 
 
First of all I would like to thanks Chord to have lend me the Mojo for a few weeks, and especialy their Belgium's interlocutor Bertrand :) 
I'm not an experimented audiophile, so my review will be brief.
I'll not describe the Mojo once again, since all the reviewers before me have done very well (thanks to all of them). 
I will just notice once again that the bundle is very poor: Just a short USB cable. No Iphone cable nor mini jack, to resume : pitiful.
 
The aim 
 
The Mojo is a very versatil small DAC/Amp to use on the go. Due to all his connectivity you can use it with a laptop, a smartphone, or even a DAP.
His small size allows you to easily put it in your pocket with your smartphone. 
I try some Dac/amp with my Iphone, finally I think the Mojo is one of the most convenient (as the Oppo HA-2 who which is a good one too). 
With the Mojo you have a powerfull tool for listening streaming music through a smartphone.
 
The sound
 
The Dac part is very accurate, very natural, without any coloration.
Another positive point is the soundwise, greatly open for a mobile joy like the Mojo :wink: 
I was just disappointed with the bass, it is not as punchy as ohter Dac/amp. 
It sounds like if there were no subbass.
 
USB Charge 
 
First time I used the Mojo on my laptop through USB port, I was suprised that it turns off :xf_eek: 
Actually, there are two micro USB ports : An input one and a charging one.
So if you want to charge the Mojo while listening music you have to plug a second USB cable in the charging port.
The Mojo user manual doesn't recommend to charge while listening because the Mojo may warm a bit.
That's why I found the Mojo less convenient than other models.
 
Conclusion
 
Despite some small inconveniences, the Mojo is a very small and powerfull Dac/amp with an accurate and natural sound. 
To use with a smartphone for streaming HI-Rez it is currently one of the best.

It charges just fine when you are using it, I have ran my Mojo overnight on Hi-Res music while charging and it did just fine, no overheating, nothing. Nor charging the Mojo while listening induces any noise.

Not a real issue.

Sorry, but IMO it doesn't seem like you've really got to grips what this beauty can do for your soul. Where's the passion? The mojo literally has me dancing for joy when I listen. More often than not I'm moved to tears. It's more like you're reviewing a dishwasher or a hairdrier. Nice 1.

@Ra97oR: My Mojo was already overheating just used and not in charging.
And plug an usb input and an usb charging at the same time for one device is an inconvenient for me for a nomad use.
 
@salla45: You got it, it was not a dream for me...
Despite that, it has gave a good result for an electronic can :wink:
