That was my computer screen. :joy:
Please focus on the box. Lol

Is it legit? Anybody bought mojo with black box? All the seller on taobao seems to have black version

Sorry! My mistake.
 
I haven't seen a black box mojo. but i also haven't seen a new mojo since i bought mine about a year ago. don't know if they revised the box when  they went from sticker to engraved SN's??

There is only one generation of Mojo.So this is most likely a fake/counterfeit/knock off.

Mine came in the same packaging & mine's certainly legit.

No engraving, that's a recent addition I believe. The black outer carton was introduced earlier this year.

Why not email Chord directly?

I don't understand... How do I make it RF free

Iron helps block RF interference.
 
With the Mojo close-coupled to a smartphone you can get noise interference due to its internal cellular (3G/4G) and Wi-Fi signals. Don't really get RF interference if the Mojo is some distance away from the phone or a PC, and some phones seem to be worse than others from what I've read.
 
By fitting a ferrite ring around the USB cable (or get a cable with one already on) it blocks a lot of it but also found that if I placed a thin sheet of Iron between the phone & Mojo it block any other RF interference I was getting. No popping, hissing, crackle noises now when streaming Tidal/Spotify over Wi-Fi or cellular 3G.

I just bought another new one from Nintronics only last week and still comes in white box with sticker on the bottom of Mojo, though they could have shipped from older stock. No engraving on mine.
 
Looks like they may have put in black outer sleeve to promote the WhatHi-Fi award. Your serial is 151478 while my new one is still in the 038000 range.

Judging from the shop review. The inside packaging seems like original. With outer black packaging. I've email Chord customer service to make sure this is indeed a genuine one or not.

John mentioned about an "laser ablated coding for better product security across regions" here http://www.head-fi.org/t/784602/chord-mojo-dac-amp-faq-in-3rd-post/26415#post_13036570 - so I will assume that's a legit Mojo.  I've registered mine (no laser-ablated SN) at Chord's site right after testing it at home.  :)

Only the additional laser ablated coding for better product security across regions other than typical production related modifications that play no part in the operation of the product.

Good call regarding "I've email Chord" to make sure about authenticity of the Mojo.

Good luck getting a reply. I sent an email last week about something else and had no reply :-(
