  I've got another question. I've connected Mojo to my PC that has Windows 7 OS and been playing music through the Foobar player. But the Mojo's power button always stays red irrespective of whether it's a hi-res file or an "ordinary" file I'm listening to. Apparently, the system on my PC is messing with the frequency rate. Can someone please tell me how I can fix that?


1) Connect your mojo and download driver from Chord offical website.
 
2) After follow this website.
    www.audiostream.com/content/how-play-dsd-file-using-foobar2000#cZQHQ01SLpQQDBqV.97
 
3) Then go back foobar setting:
    ASIO Driver: choose ASIO Chord
    DSD Playback Method: choose DoP Maker 0x05/0xFA
    DSD to DSD Method: None    FS: DSD256
    PCM to DSD Method: None    FS: DSD256
    DSD/PCM Transition: 0ms
 
4) Enjoy music

  Mojo takes data + power at the same time, or either by themselves. Any USB will provide power, but if you want it to charge faster I am pretty sure Chord recommends a USB cable that can provide at least 2.1 V. You need a OTG USB cable to provide data to mojo.

  This can seem like a dumb question, but can I use a data only cable for the micro input and a dedicated +5v cable for the usb charging port or does the mojo only take cable with both power+data at the same time?

Hi guys, I'm interested in mojo and I was wondering the same thing.
Did you discovered if mojo micro-usb Input work with "data only" micro-usb cable? I'd like to keep the connection as clean as possible and I thought that DIY a data only cable for input would be the best choice. I'll be using the mojo with android smartphone/tablet.
thanks!

  Can someone please tell me how I can make my Mojo play music using the Hiby Music player on my ASUS Zenfone 5? I've tried playing music through the Onkyo Player and it works fine (I just selected the "USB device" option in the "Output" section of the settings menu). But I can't seem to find the same one in the Hiby Music player menu. Has anyone figured that out? I would appreciate any help.


Try go Advanced Setting > DSD mode: change to DoP
 
But Hiby Music does not support DSD256, i still prefer Onkyo Player.
 
Just my 2 cents.

That wont work, as the USB circuit needs to see 5V to activate. This is how the Mojo figures out which input is connected.

Actually, for that reason I always unplug when I use the mojo, just uses battery power. Really not anymore annoying than turning it on.

I found these settings on my own online.

But I strongly recommend to go for WASAPI instead of ASIO.
ASIO was a nightmare with all its bugs. And WASAPI has the same sq, though more stable.

  So I'm thinking of purchasing a set of these. I'm planning on downgrading my setup or at least start with selling my Auralic Taurus amp since I barely use my HD800 (or rather haven't touched it in months). I could use these at home potentially with a HD800 after I buy an adapter to 3.5mm and also with my smartphone and my SE846. I'm not sure about home use yet since I'm not sure what I'll do but the question I have is does source really matter if I want to use it out of a smartphone and end up using the dac inside the Mojo? My phone would just be providing the files and using the rest of the Mojo so could one potentially just go with that instead of a better source (audiophile dap).
 
Also has anyone tried it with the HD800? I had some recommendations with the Mojo/HD800 but of course I remain skeptical but some confirmation would definitely help.

There is much discussion currently in the HD800S thread regarding Chord products in general. I particularly like post #3468.
Mojo most certainly can drive the HD800. Whether or not you will like how it drives it is up to the opinion of the listener.

Guys, I have ongoing problems where the Mojo just turns itself off for no apparent reason during use.
 
I realise from previous posts that the mojo needs a few full charge cycles to accept a full lasting charge and I have had several now.
 
Mine still just turns itself off even after a new full charge!
 
Has anyone else encountered this same issue?

At the moment it is as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike as I sold my bike many years ago before I got killed.

Once the Mojo is charged, are you unplugging from the charger and running stand-alone? Or are you continuing to charge?
I have had odd behavior, when continuing to charge and using Mojo for music playback - at the same time. Otherwise, I have not encountered any issues.

Yes I have been charging it on its own and not playing it at the same time and when using it I do not continue to charge it at the same time.
 
I have several good chargers rated at 1 amp and over and have no such issues with other amps and Daps that I have.

My suspicions, when I was attempting to charge and play simultaneously, was just a heating issue. I know there is not supposed to be an issue, but my Mojo can get quite warm when just using it for playback. And I assume I would on occasion run into playback issues when attempting to continue to charge. I do not doubt the capability of my chargers, or yours.
 
Sorry though - no problems when using Mojo only for playback.
