[Mojo ideas]

This may have been answered since it  is pretty hard to keep up with this forum and i haven't caught up on the next 50 or so post but It sounds to me like your Mojo has a defective charge LED.  the portion of it that shows white or blue is bad which is why you get green when charging and nothing for the first two hours when it should be blue.  I could be wrong but seems logical to me.  I would suggest sending it back for repair or replacement if ti bothers you.  It really should not affect performance but it is a defect.  Good Luck

Please understand that the white charging light is made up from equal parts of three tiny led die one red one green and one blue. This is how we have one LED able to show three or more colours. But if you do not look straight on to the led look from an angle you might only see just one of the three coloured LEDs so the white light can look a little bluish of greenish or even reddish just to confuse you further.

Likewise. Those remarking the treble sounds hot via coax with dx50 must have better hearing than me as I can't hear a difference between usb optical or coax.

 


Iam getting a dap while Chord sort out the SD module .
The reason dx50 is enticing because it's almost half the cost of an AK100, not sure of resale value.

How is the Mojo compared to Audioquest Dragonfly on a Sonus Faber pryma headphones? Im not an audiophile, just a girl that enjoys listening to music maybe a bit more than the masses...

Dragonfly is 1/5 of the price. The question is if its worth 5x the price for a "casual person"..

  I thought digital coax was 75 ohms?

 
yes it is, you should use a 75ohm cable to have lower attenuation and capacitance

Yes absolutely Mojo was designed totally for people just like you. Please go to a good retailer and listen carefully to both units take your time and listen when your calm and what you will hear with Mojo is a perfectly played performance just as it was recorded you will hear details that you can hardly believe we're originally there. Trust your ears then decide

News on the SD module please while you're here ?

Good advice

yes its much better than a dragonfly BUT if your headphones are not up to par then it wont show what a mojo can do then it might seem like a waste of money, just being honest.
 
i am not familiar with the sonus faber nor have i heard them so i dont know how well they perform.
 
somone else might be able to help more.

yeah push the wifi one to the back and let the SD come first 

 

[Deftone]

Hi Lunah. I have been trawling the audio world off and on for decades seeking the "holy grail" without actually knowing what that should be, lol.
 
I believe, with the advent of Mojo, I may have found it.
 
Previously I was hyped up on specifics of sound, "great bass, clear midrange, sparkly treble, soundstage"; all that objective stuff. I have now come to realise that all that is just a smoke screen. 
 
With the Mojo, it's more about how engaged you become with the music; how it makes you feel. It's about the emotional connection with the music. I keep getting immersed completely in the music with the mojo. Never had that before (well not without chemical inducement anyhow... ahem).
 
It's quite weird; it sort of creeps up on you unawares mostly and in different ways, depending on the music and circumstances of course. It is pretty cool and fascinating to hear really old stuff I thought I new so well completely anew; hearing amazing things I was completely hitherto unaware of. Stuff that's always been there but that's never reached out to me. Eg, percussive flourishes in rock tracks or new interplays in classical or jazz music I thought I knew so well.
 
All other sources/dacs/players/phones I've heard sound flat and unengaging, even if it's all "there" with the other sources,  it just doesn't come together holistically and draw you in.
 
For me, Mojo is an indispensible piece of equipment. 
 
ps.. only a couple of months before getting the Mojo I had invested some 150 quid in an IFI Nano which I really liked and is a great bit of kit in it's own right and getting rave reviews against the Dragonfly, et al. Never switched it back on since, lol.
 
John is right, trust your own ears (and spot on with his comment here..."Mojo is a perfectly played performance just as it was recorded you will hear details that you can hardly believe we're originally there"), and I would add, don't try and hear differences in sound quality or listen to the equipment, per se, as it's invariably an exercise in frustration. Rather let the music in and listen to a few tracks without distractions and then try and work out how you feel about it.
 
Hope it helps

  In my experience upsampling isn't really noticable. Is it with the mojo?
 
I guess you would know by switching between USB in and optical in?

Big time. When I tried a Mojo before buying, I just used my phones stock music player. I was underwhelmed.
When I installed UAPP so each track had the correct sample rate, I could see what the fuss was all about and bought the Mojo on the spot!

Thanks for your answer! So in other words, its worth it even if its the same price as my headphones and i dont have tons of money laying around?

Only you can decide if it's worth it or not. We all have priorities ref our disposable (or not) income. I had to sell a son and a kidney to get to where I am now, audio-wise. - that was a no-brainer for me, lol.

I don't know a lot about audio. But like buying shoes, I always believed in purchasing the right fit off the shelves, and not expect them to be broken in. I'd suggest the same mind to be applied.

From my long, close to 850 pages worth of research, it all comes down to musicality, i.e. How engaged you are with the music. Of course soundstage, details etc are important, but IMHO, you'd get the best value for money the more you want to spend time listening to music.

I guess Rob and John's response to musicality is "timing", "transient response" and "transparency" (all terms I'm still grappling), which results in music that emotionally engages you.

I listened to it once, and being an uninitiated person in the world of audio, I dished out 700 dollars on the spot for my very first audio purchase (yes, my very first audio purchase). I understood what they were trying to convey, and goes to show the impact it had on me.

We can talk for days and weeks about this, but try it out, and I'm positive you'd pull the trigger (if not struggle for days and weeks, unable to shake the temptation).
