Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

If anyone is interested, the Mojo/AK100 stack fits depth-wise in either a Pelican 1020 or 1040 case. If you want to store much else, you'll need the 1040, as it gives you some space (its longer) to put in some CIEM's/adapters/etc. I recommend getting the Pelican foam insert as then you can customize your storage. I just ordered a new piece of foam as my old one was cut-out to fit my X3/Rx stack and my K10's and now I'll need a different layout in the foam for the AK100/Mojo and my K10's. Cheers

We just created this version of our Silver Dragon Toslink Form Fit Cable this week to solve this problem & for a tighter connection between the Mojo & the AK120 II, AK100 II, AK240 or AK380.

I'm presuming the cable equally fits original AK100/120 devices to the Mojo?

Here's some streaming Doom Metal-more on the emotional/softer end of the doom metal spectrum.  From an audiophile spectrum, it has excellent female vocals, electric guitars that fade into oblivion, crisp acoustic guitars, harsh male vocals, pianos, flutes, etc.  Great album from an obscure doom metal band:

and another form the same album(a more up-beat song)

Probably sounds amazing on Mojo, looking forward to getting one in the US soon.

The stack is in the house!

Now just need some 3M DuoLock to hold them together.







And it sounds really nice! Blows away my old portable stack.

Cheers

 
Try adding the CDM into the stack and drive some large headphones. Quite a fantastic experience. My MoJo will arrive this saturday!

have to agree... for everyone...
 
there are no production problems at Chord, full stop.... several hundred Mojo's shipped out today (fact), tomorrow several hundred more will be sent out as will happen on Friday and every day of next week..
 
I can't speak for what Dealers are telling Customers but I will give you updates if there's a problem, hth...

This is all well and good. My question is why you announce a product 2 weeks ago, and you your dealer network starts taking orders after the announcement and expecting payment. Now, 2 weeks later, the product is starting to ship. From a US perspective, it'll take at least a week to get here. And as an FYI, I'm British, so it's not an American thing - it's a deliver what you commit to thing. So there we go.

The only iDSD Micro vs Mojo comparison, of any kind, I'm (yet) aware of is this:

Because the dealers didn't know about it until it was announced?
 
As someone who calmly waited a total of 2 or more years collectively for various new products (HD800s, LCD-2s etc.) I do feel like beating up you guys for being impatient for having to wait a couple of weeks for something you haven't lost and isn't going to harm you having to wait for. 
 
Separately, Normally I'd say that I agree about dealers charging up-front isn't good, but given how often they get screwed around by customers, it would make a mountain more work if they had to chase every single pre-order and wait for payment, then go through re-assigning individual pieces to other customers if they don't, then dealing with angry emails, so I can understand why they charge from the start.

 

[headwhacker]

hah 2 weeks delay is nothing. Compared to how long one CIEM maker make their customers wait when they release new products. They take your money upfront and already made more money off of it before you get the product. 

 

[rwalkerphl]

I understand you waited a long time, but does that make it acceptable? And did you pay for your HD800's and wait a year or whatever? I just don't see why we should accept paying upfront and waiting an indeterminate time. I don't care if it is a dealer or manufacturer. As far as I am concerned, they are the same, representing a product. I reiterate that this is pretty well the only industry I have participated in as a consumer where you pay and wait until whomever delivers. And that other consumers will beat me up for being impatient. How about you pay for a tank of gas for your car, and get it a month from now - is that acceptable? No. How about if you pay for your groceries now and get them in February? Acceptable? No. If someone said to me, they will be shipping in December, I could accept that and make my choice. And Chord are responding because I made my feelings public. Otherwise everyone would probably just have to suck it up...

Is there a perceived difference in SQ on coax vs USB input on the mojo from anyone who has tried both inputs ??

 

[mathi8vadhanan]

  Where would an owner of an AK100 & Mojo go to get a simple (shorter preferably) optical cable to connect the two - that isn't custom made and prohibitively expensive?

Found this on eBay. There are not a lot of short toslink cables out there, unless you go custom route.

Thats a joke unless for home use on a table.

 

[georgelai57]

I saw the Mojo today at a shop and I must say it looks classier than in the pics. Had a brief test AK240SS-Mojo-Nighthawk and was mighty impressed.
 
The shop then tried to connect the Fiio X3II via coaxial out to the Mojo but failed to make it work.

it is a DAP to MOJO connector...
