Quite a pricey fix. Did you consider a USB to toslink adapter?

I don't understand the FLAC v. WAV idea. But noisy USB ports are definitely an issue I've faced. If you're on a desktop, listen for the differences between ports on the front of your PC and ones on the motherboard IO panel. Better yet, compare that to a daughter USB PCI card. For a laptop...

Get a linsoul mmcx cable with the correct termination. https://www.amazon.com/Linsoul-Tripowin-Earphone-Earphones-MMCX-3-5mm/dp/B07ZQC9MZB/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=linsoul+mmcx+cable&qid=1646053600&sprefix=linsoul+mmcx%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-3

I kept my OG. I still love it. It moved to my office work desk. Also, I had it signed by @Rob Watts, so I can’t sell it.

Considering how much I love using the mojo with my speakers, I'm inclined to say no.

I have a Hip DAC. You cannot compare the Mojo 2. It's significantly better with my IEMs.

Thanks for the heads up! Now I just need to find this FIIO cable he ordered for my iPhone :| EDIT: https://fiio-shop.de/kabel/digitale-audio-kabel/1147/fiio-lt-lt1

I'm in Germany. I just ordered one for my laptop at work. Shipping is free. ~135 euro.

Correct. The charging circuit requires the use of the dedicated micro USB connection. That connection does not transmit data. I assume this is done to reduce noise. But I could be wrong; I often am.

You are correct.

Dude. "Yes" would have taken less energy on your part. Let's not become an Arch Linux forum please.

I used the included cable out of convenience. I rarely use a mojo with USB. I've used many many cables with and without intermediates like ferrite chokes, the Schiit Wyrd and Audioquest Jitterbug. My favorite has been the AQ Evergreen cable with an AQ Jitterbug. But still, I prefer feeding the...

Sure! Thanks for reminding me to use my IEMs with the Allo. I usually just walk around with these guys or they are for listening to music while in the office. USB (included cable) v. the Allo DigiOne Signature with Alclair RSM Quad IEMs: Cliche' blacker background with the Allo Smoother drum...

I think perhaps there is a language issue. I found your post confusing and unclear. Enjoy the DAVE!

Well that settles it. I’m an idiot. Why did I get a mojo instead of a DAVE? Oh yea… probably because of the cost difference. I remember now.

What do you like about the Hugo that you don’t get from the mojo 2?

I noticed Chord's hosting of the manual is broken. You can also find it here: https://www.richersounds.com/media/pdf/M/o/Mojo_2_User_Manual_f0dd.pdf

For me, it's been quite the opposite. I think most people venture into more expensive IEMs because it is still more accessible (affordable) than a speaker setup. I know this was the case for myself and my friends until I found these Emotivas. Also, I tend to be more critical when using speakers...

I've had a lot more time to compare my mojo 2 to my OG mojo now. Here are some of my findings: Initially I found that i preferred a +3 dB on the 125 Hz shelf to give it this 'punch' in guitars that I felt was missing from the OG. Now I prefer it flat. To me, the OG is a bit more 'in your face'...

Odd. Some electricians tape on the inside would help, but you shouldn’t have to… Mine doesn’t look like this. Nice Kefs btw!

The included summarized sheet is more than enough. It's not too complicated.

Maybe Poly 2 will use USB-C and require an adapter to work with both mojos. I‘m kidding of course. But that would have the same degree of elegance as Mojo 2 needing an adapter for Poly imho.

Actually, I would strongly disagree. But this is a matter of perspective. I would argue that the battery is an enabling device that doesn't get credit. Without lithium ion, you wouldn't have a cell phone or a laptop. Electrification of vehicles wouldn't even be a discussion. Most renewable...

You should be careful or you're going to get a dozen private messages from men named Dave.
