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

    This works but it produces weird noises when it first starts up and it gets a ton of noise that is audible with iems. My mod with the power supply does it a lot better but its more work and modification. There really needs to be a desktop version of the mojo...

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

    @Rob Watts So I should only be powering this through USB only then? Currently, it works fine with a 7.5V power supply, but I was thinking of getting a decent linear power supply or an external lipo battery to power it. I use it primarily at my desk, so I don't really want to be replacing the...

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

    Hey guys! I recently converted my Mojo into a desktop amp after the battery died! https://imgur.com/a/RO32L0j I used it as a desktop amp for about 2 years and the battery took a beating, as expected. It damn near exploded as there was a ton of pressure when I opened it up. Since I use it...

    On an iPhone, the maximum sample rate is 48khz, but you should have no problem getting the mojo to go beyond that from a computer.

    DUNU DN-2000J -- More Than Evolution?

    I second this. The JVC Spiral Dots are the crap, especially for the Dunu 2kj. They make them sound as open and detailed as possible. The Spinfits sound much duller and closed in, but if the highs of the Dunu's bother you, it might be a better option for you.

    Damn I got mine second hand as well and it died just two days later after using for one day in my pocket. The micro usb series is designed to be plugged and unplugged around 10000 times without failing and its supposed to damage the cable when it fails. But that is not the case in the real...

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    It looks okay. If you are comfortable soldering, I would definitely give it a try. Also what macbook do you have? Most macbook pros after 2009 already have mini-toslink built into he 3.5mm jack, so you don't need an external converter for that, but you should check to make sure your model does...

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    That is pretty awesome but that case is not good for protecting your phone. The lip of the case needs to come up above the edge of the screen more to keep it from cracking when it falls. the way the mojo snaps into it is pretty cool though! Also that short lightning to micro usb is great but...

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    I had a usb problem with my Mojo just after getting it second hand and I contacted Chord. They told me my unit was out of warranty and referred me to a hifi place that could fix it. They ended up replacing the entire main board and it cost around $180. If you are handy with a soldering iron you...

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    I have no idea why it doesn't have a serial number but it definitely isn't fake. It worked well until it broke and I even opened it up and it definitely had a real Chord board in there. After I told Chord that it had no serial, they just told me that it had no warranty and that I would need to...

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    I have an update on servicing my broken second hand mojo. Basically, if you have an out of warranty second hand mojo: you are ****ED. I only had it for about 2 days before I started having usb connection issues and quickly lost the ability to play anything with it. I contacted Chord, found out I...

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    Hey guys, I recently got a mojo second hand and it just started having strange USB connection issues. It is not recognized through usb with my iphone (ios8.4) or macbook anymore even though the red light comes on on the power button when I plug it in! The red light will only come on one time...

    DUNU DN-2000J -- More Than Evolution?

      The fit on the 2002 worries me but what really worries me is that someone in the thread for the 2002 mentioned that the resolution and midrange brightness were not as good as the 2000j. Removable cables and smoother treble though
