    Chord Mojo Modification ??

    But if you are just talking about the used side of the Mojo, it seemed better as the drilling side. On the opposite side there are 4 connectors (Coax, 2xUSB, Toslink). So there is very little space for a new hole. And even though I only use optical, I didn't want to remove any of them.

    Chord Mojo Modification ??

    I didn't drill through the second 3.5mm audio output. The drilled hole with the cable and the 5.5/2.1mm power connector is placed right in between the two 3.5mm audio outputs 😉

    I know of that and at first, I have used it too. Its PowerStor® PHV-5R4V505-R supercapacitor – 5F/5.4 V. It needs longer formatting to operate in Mojo, but after that it works. Thought there is one big trouble, and it is nominal voltage – 5.4 V, which makes from it a delay-action bomb...

    Interesting idea, you propose to connect linear power supply (8.4V) directly to SC and disconnect USB power to deactivate Mojo charging circuit… Sounds to me like vision of upgrade to Mojo TT :thinking::thumbsup:

    Thanks for you notice about SI units! Now I see that the problem is not in UK, but the trouble is that Mojo miss the boat. So, it is time to accuse Rob Watts of using obsolete inch size screws rejected years ago :deadhorse::smile:

    1. Thank you for the idea of using 3.3k resistors, I will ponder about it :beerchug: 2. Connected picture was taken before closing Mojo, but I used this one, because of clear view on SC block. Before closing it, I covered top of SC and soldered contacts to isolate them, and of course I had to...

    A Review of MandarinEs Foam Tips

    I have just ordered the Mandarines eartips (Symbio W) for my Custom Art FIBAE Black (universal fit) and I’m very satisfied. It brings perfect combination of original silicon tips and Comply SmartCore. The silicone one lacks isolation, dynamics and punching bass. The Comply bring this to the...

    No, it doesn’t. On the contrary it is able to start android completely without Mango player. That’s what I’m using, because I like my Neutron player the most :)
