I actually mentioned this a few pages back. Im getting maybe 4hrs before the yellow indicator kicks in. Yours seems worse then mine, i was using the volume just below double red. Im going to run mine down till the red flashing starts and see what i average.


Yellow kicks in at 49% according to Rob (roughly) so getting 4 hours to yellow doesn't seem bad. Time it to flashing red to get a better feel for overal battery life.

I was having some battery issues with my Mojo.
 
Over the last two/three months I've been using the same Samsung charger that came with my S6 Edge and haven't had issues in the past.
 
The battery life seems to have dropped quite drastically, the last cycle didn't seem to last more than 2 hours. I've been charging the Mojo for 12 hours straight now (with the device turned off), but the white LED is still on (steady glow) and the unit is still warmish. When I unplug the Mojo and turn it on the green LED indicator appears under the charging port. The battery has never been drained completely, except for yesterday when the red LED kept flashing after 2 hours of usage. 
 
The charger and the cable seems to work just fine, my AK100 and phone charge just fine using them.I was wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar, thought I'd check here before handing it in to be RMA'ed.

Has anyone had success streaming Apple Music from an android device to Mojo? I have an OTG cable and audio only plays through the phone speaker on my s5. Installed UAPP and apple music doesn't seem to be supported.

The best streaming experience I have found if just around the house is using JRiver media centre 21 and the JRemote app for iOS (there is a android app also but not tried it)

I can stream right up to 24/196 Flac and it sounds excellent, just trying to get DSD to stream now but not having any luck at the moment.

The customization level of Neutron is just so damn epic. Some folks don't like the interface but you can change it...ALL of it
 
The 10 band EQ can be adjusted to rep any freq at any "Q". I think my lowest 3 are 30, 60 and 80Hz
 
Sadly the USB of Neutron does not work with Mojo like UAPP. I can re sample to 32bit and it is the finest app I have heard but if you are a purist UAPP is the best.
 
I use Neutron.
 
IMO
 
UAPP is the best purist app but the ONKYO  DSD up sampling and FIR eq are pretty nice but my mind just feels like it's doing too much and it's GUI is the worst only surpassed by UAPP in sheer plainness.
 
 
UAPP for non eq users with lots of HQ Flacs
ONKYO for folks who like upsampling
Neutron for total tweakers (me)
 
Using:
America - "Tin Man"                triangle strike around 30sec?
Pink Floyd - "On the Run"      multi layer and heavy panning of signal
 
Neutron doing 32bit resample sounds best and most detailed to my ears
 
Hiby...
 
Used to love it as the cover art screen is epic but the sound of that app is rough. Something is off with that app? I can't say what but it's not even an option for me and is no longer on my device.

I agree totally. Onkyo HF and Neutron I have trialled several times and never pushed the purchase button even after extended trials. UAPP I tried and purchased within 30 mins. WHY? It really suited my needs and the UI was user friendly personally.
As you have stated neutron is great if you love to tweek, I fall into the "it's (usually) OK as it is" category
 
IMO also the best UI YMMV
 
   
I had a similar question recently. You should check out the USB Audio Player Pro. It can stream locally stored music or music from Tiday (just not music saved to Tidal's offline mode). I doesn't upsample the music the way Android natively does, and some users prefer it. 
 
Also: They're awesome with support, and have a guy on Headfi who's super helpful. I'm doing most of my listening through this app now. Link to forum: http://www.head-fi.org/t/704065/usb-audio-recorder-pro-uapp-24-and-32-bit-playback-ubiquitous-usb-audio-support-for-android.

Great support from that thread, the DEV also reads and replies to questions, best support I have received from any app

Another option I may look at, although I'm getting UAPP to stream up to 11.2MHz in Native DSD

Mojo is now rated #1 in DAC/amps on Head Fi. Nice job Chord. :)

  As the DAC programmable, can the sound be tuned by users in the future?

 
Given the highly proprietary nature of the software and the trade secrets contained, I'd say no.

Hi. I want to know as well. Haven't gotten my NAS to work with UAPP.




Click on the orange selection button


Choose 'Network' then use the "+" symbol in the top right hand corner


Enter the details as required, i think the username must NOT have any spaces not too sure, plus the ip address you use to sign into your NAS from your PC and the password


Then just search and play

Nice, how are you achieving that, what are you using as a server and what phone/dap are you using ?

Cheers

I have a NETGEAR ReadyNAS 104 and a few phones/DAP that I connect to my network, a OnePlus One, a Nexus 6P and my Onkyo DP-X1.

I find UAPP very capable for my needs and relatively easy to use. None of my phones have expandable storage so while at home this works just fine and also saves being tied to my laptop and Jriver (other Win/OS APPS are also available

)

As long as your phone has a capable CPU and RAM should play with very little tweaking required.
 
Edit:
 

 

 
It's late and I should be in bed so just a quick picture


(Yes I know headphones are connected to DP-X1 and not the Mojo, this is for demonstration purposes only)

According to given picture the samsung adaptor delivers 2A current which is more than mojo's recomminded current rating (1A). I think that may be the reason.
So try to charge your mojo using 1A charging adaptor (optimum one is apple iphone charger which deliver 1A).
If still issue exists , as per my understanding you have to RMA.
Next time never use any kind of adaptor which delivers more than 1A. Seems that this is a good lesson!!!

Not correct. The total amount of current provided by the charger doesn't matter since the Mojo only takes what it needs. It's called a "take" event. For example, you can charge a device, e.g., a portable shaver or vacuum, from your house wall current which provides thousands of times the current needed, but the device only takes what it needs -- the device doesn't blow up or melt since it only "takes" what it needs.
