Doesn’t give me much confidence about the MicroUSB ports - the only part of my OG mojo that broke over the years.

Mine is also like this. My mojo OG is much better sealed.

Thanks. I didn’t have an OG mojo which is why I contacted chord to see if it was normal. It’s weird that it’s mainly that side as well. My first unit was even worse as it had this issue all around but the screws were loose.

I can barely see the lights on mine as the gap is around 1/4 of the headphone input rings, basically almost no gap. You most likely have a bad batch or bad assembly.

get a replacement Unit. Mojo OG never had such issue.

I’m wondering how the DSP on the mojo 2 compares to what is possible with DSP on the Sony daps?

I understand that it is done differently on the mojo, I guess I’m just wondering if you can do something similar on the Sony’s? Or are the Sony DSPs crappy like a lot of other players?

Any new Mojo2 owners with LCD-X? Very curious whether the mid/upper-mid range EQ adjustments help with the notorious 4kHz dip in frequency response to improve the vocal and spatial cue aspects. Thanks!

Does anyone know how to purchase a good-quality USB cable for the Mojo?
I don't have the stock cable and I get differences in SQ with various USB cables I try.
Thanx

I've got an NW-ZX507 and find the EQ quite useful, and I don't find that it degrades audio quality noticeably. It's a graphic equaliser, so it isn't as flexible as a parametric equaliser, but sometimes I feel that the amount of flexibility that parametric EQs give you can also be their downfall, especially when you try to get too fancy and start using higher q values. The biggest issue with the 507 is that it resamples everything when you use streaming services, but that isn't an issue with the WM1A as it doesn't support sacrilegious things like streaming.

It’s a portable dac just get something from Amazon. Better use optical or poly if sound quality is the main focus.

Well you can certainly take the expensive audiophile route, but I ordered two of these – one for the desktop and one for on the go: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B07FMVF21R/ Waiting for the package to arrive early next week.

Not that many reviews, but all very positive and someone even mentioned getting those for their Mojo. And they seem really well made & shielded compared to the usual thin wires – and if you ask me, that's about the only thing that matters with digital cables. (I'm sure those who pay the extra for the audiophile USB-cables will soon come here to tell you otherwise )

I have a mojo 2 and 2021 LCD-X. I haven't been able to address the 4K dip with the mojo's EQ adjustments. You can add one or two dB to the 3K shelf and then cut a couple of dB with the 20K peak filter, but that's the closest I have been able to get and I prefer to just leave it alone.

anyone tried the mojo2 with the hifiman sundara?

in your case it looks for sure like the gap is too large, heres mine for comparison, its a very slim gap, so much so i have to tilt it at a very specific angle to catch any light bleeding. id for sure ask for a replacement because although the mojo is ofcourse not water resistant in any way a gap like that will only make the risk even higher. some of the other pictures on here of others id say look normal though, im willing to bet everyone can hold their mojo 2 at a specific angle and catch some light bleed through that gap.

I just checked mine, and if I adjust the unit in my hand to various angles I can just about see a very thin blue light coming through the miniscule gap. In short I wouldn't know it existed unless I had seen the post of the faulty unit. Seems like the poster definitely has a faulty unit which needs replaced.

This is what I was a bit afraid of, as I have a 2020 LCD-X, with the more pronounced dip in 4kHz. I'm still going to give the Mojo2 a try to see if its strengths can override the inability to accurately EQ that dip, but that's a bit unfortunate to hear.
