Just so you all know, in spite of my reluctance, I have started altering the formatting of post #3, but I must stress that this will be a gradual process.

This is partly because it's quite a mammoth task, and partly because the formatting options are limited, and extremely flakey! I'm going to be nesting some information, and the forum software-applet editor doesn't seem to behave itself when doing this - it does get there eventually, but it seems to need multiple incremental corrections, for weird behaviours of its own, and I'm finding the most viable way is by trying to complete one level of spoilers before I nest those spoilers within a 'parent' spoiler (rather than trying to edit & add spoiler contents within an already-created parent spoiler, which seems to cause insurmountable problems, requiring deletion and completely starting over).

Additionally, when there is so much content and so much formatting, it slows the applet down to a crawl, with frequent stalling.

So... I am trying to improve the formatting, but please be patient!




As for cable links, they really are in post #3, but there is no 'perfect solution' for UK cable buyers, as yet. Thankfully, Chord should soon be releasing their cable bundle, globally, through their distributor&dealer network, and we should then see most of these cable-sourcing problems go away.

:beerchug:  

Damn that sounds like a real pain in the ass!
Really appreciated!

  is the warranty on the mojo 1 or 2 years?
 
Sonix website say 2, manual say 1, which is it?

 
 
from my understanding 1 year from Chord and Sonic tacks on an extra year for the VIP purchase.
 
is it me, or is it excruciatingly painful waiting 10 hours for the battery to charge for the first time (and yes I am following the instruction manual)?

I've been listening to my Mojo for only a few minutes. It charged in only 6 hours instead of the recommended 10 hours so I powered it up.
 
My first thoughts are that it is very transparent and clean with no forced detail like many D-S DAC chips sound like. I noticed that compared to my Theta the Mojo has slightly less leading edge in the mids and kick drums carry a little more weight on the Theta but nothing about the Mojo sounds out of place. It is a very flat sound signature with good detail and soundstage.
 
As for detail, I think the Mojo also has slightly less grain in the highs than the Theta does, but the Theta has more bass weight (neutral or not it has more) My reason for purchasing the Mojo is so that when I do a lot of travelling this summer I can have a pimped out travel setup for the noisy airplane flights.
 
For the purpose of travel, the Mojo is excelling in just about every way. It reminds me of the Bifrost MB in some ways where there is great detail that isn't forced on you. But I find myself preferring the Mojo to the MB because of just how clean everything sounds off memory. There will be more listening to do but I am very happy with my Mojo purchase and the TH-X00 and Mojo will fly with me this summer to Peru

I used to own the C5, awesome little bugger, but anyway, the micro to micro cable a few are referring to is basically a charging cable for your mobile devices in an emergency. The C5 has enough battery to act as an emergency power bank.
Just FYI.
Cheers

when I talked to one of the reps, he said 2 years and tack on another 1 to make it 3 years.   I then asked if they were and authorized dealer and they said yes.
 
Sonix does a lot of in house warranty when they are not authorized.

my first listening experience with mojo is going better than I expected. my hd 650s sound better with mojo doing the heavy lifting than any portable dac at my disposal. more detail in the music, bass has tightened up, vocals have come forward (but not too far forward). I am definitely pleased with the purchase and will be putting mojo and my soon to arrive Audeze Sines through their paces.
 
I am keeping the chain simple.. NVidia Shield Tablet>USB>Mojo>HD 650

It was confirmed in first post that you only have to charge it until the LED goes off for first charge. That's what I did. I been listening to it for 9 hours at work and 2 hours at home per day. Obviously part of that is with track paused. But I'm very happy with battery life.
