    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    By mistake I ran the Mojo 2 on batteries when listening yesterday. Eventually the battery ran low and I realized that I’d disconnected the charger by mistake. As I reconnected the charger the sound quality took a hit when the almost depleted battery was recharging. BTW, I didn’t notice any...

    Auralic Aries g2.1 + Vega g2.1 - thoughts?

    Stumbled on this thread. And read some of the most sensible comments on Head-fi. :smiley: After having put alot of effort into optimizing Ethernet I decided to compare it to wireless with the Aries G2.1. In my setup I ended up prefering wireless and felt it pointless to put any more effort...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    This is my chain: streamer -> DAC -> RCA -> amp -> XLR headphone cable Works great! IMHO, you should forget about balanced vs single-ended. You’d be very hard pressed to find something as good as the Mojo 2 especially when it comes to timing and transient response. :sweat_smile:

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Yes, it’s an amazingly capable portable DAC. When I wrote ”perhaps not the most detailed” I meant as a desktop DAC in comparison with some other DAC’s I’ve had (either auditioned or owned) in my system. Most recently I’ve had an Aqua La Scala Mk II Optologic and Mola Mola Tambaqui here. Both...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    I also use an amp with the Mojo 2 and agree that these are the main points/reasons. It’s actually one of the most enjoyable DAC’s I’ve heard, perhaps not the most detailed but it’s excellent timing, tonality and impeccable transient response makes it highly musical. Then again, I’ve always...

    New Innuos Pulse Streamer Series

    The Mola Mola will have to wait, this year I got the streamer. If @carboncopy says JPlay I would highly suggest you try it, always gives great advice. Otherwise consider sticking with Sense as it’s integrated with Innuos hardware and sounds great.

    New Innuos Pulse Streamer Series

    The Auralic Aries G2.1 has been a favorite ever since I heard it the first time and, in a way, my ”end game”. When I bought the Pulse it was because a) wanting to move away from using my Mac as a streamer and b) saving a part of my budget for a better DAC. As I auditioned DAC’s I came across...

    New Innuos Pulse Streamer Series

    Agree on the likeness between Audirvana and Sense vs Roon. :thumbsup:

    New Innuos Pulse Streamer Series

    I’ve heard both the Pulse and Zen mk3 but not at the same time so I can’t offer any comparison. However, in comparison with the ZenMini mk3 with LPS the Pulse was a large step forward. FYI, after having owned the Pulse just a couple of months I’m now using an Auralic Aries G2.1 streamer. (This...

    Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

    Would it be possible to have two amps connected at the same time to the Mojo? I’m looking to use two different amps, and with my newfound love for the Mojo, hoping to use it as a DAC for both. 😃
