    Alan was a pleasure to deal with. Good communication, prompt shipping, safe packaging, and item was as described. A perfectly smooth and pleasant transaction and I'm very happy with my new headphone amp. Hope to do business with you again, Alan. Cheers!

    Hello, anyone know if this amp runs class A/B or Class A? Also, are the NFCA chips considered discrete components? Thanks for any help!

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

    Yeah, you’d still have the quality Mojo 2 source, but with around four times the output power with the JDS. Should be a fantastic system and some serious peace of mind! ~600 mW into 32 ohms vs 2,300 mW into 32 ohms!

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

    Thanks so much for all the replies! I don’t have the Mojo 2 yet, so how do you know what voltage you’re at? Do we know which colors correspond with which voltage? And is 4.5V the max volume? Thanks so much again! :)

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

    Hello! I can’t find in the manual how to run the Mojo 2 strictly as a DAC. The Mojo 1 had a line-level mode by powering on while holding down the two volume buttons. Is there a way to set the Mojo 2 to line-level mode? Thanks for any help.

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

    Hello there! I was thinking of doing just this as well. Could you please tell me how you connected the iFi power supply? A lot of others are talking about soldering a female DC plug onto the board, but were you just using a DC-to-mini-USB adapter cable. And do you notice the auto shut-off issue...

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

    Hello! Just got a Mojo 1 and am wanting to use the Mojo as a DAC in my main system. I read that the "line out mode" is set to 3V. Does anyone know what volume color is closest to the more standard line level 2V? Thanks so much for any help.

    Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2

    I know I’m replying to an older post, but I agree in general. My Yammie CR-1020 vintage receiver has a fabulous and powerful headphone out as well. Huge power transformer….and resistors off the speaker taps—not just a cheap add-in headphone amp board like we see in today’s receivers. Goes to...

    Hi! I'm really on the fence about this one... It's a bit rough on the top of the case. I think I'll wait out and hope for a better-condition one. Sorry, but thanks for your reply.

    AKG K240 Sextett--Grado'd AKG?

    I agree about the AKG K240 Sextett + Bottlehead Crack combo….so lifelike in terms of tone and excitement IME. Vintage 70s receivers are a good option though if you can find one in good working order for a good price—they typically have tons of power through the headphone output.

    Whoa, a small version knob and a larger one! It has very nice OCD-level wiring as well. Hope it's still getting lots of play time. :)

    Crack;Bottlehead OTL

    Given that one of my messages SHIMACM quoted had been translated, I was thinking there was some loss in translation. But yeah, to be clear, the iron should stay on the joint long enough to be reheated sufficiently, so that all the solder melts....and then making sure the iron is touching both...

    Hey, I was going to let someone else answer, but since you haven't gotten a response yet, here you go: The brand and model aren't so important here, the main thing is to have film caps, in general, handling the audio signal. The Crack is a simple circuit, so no need to spend crazy amounts. Just...

    I think you can get there with practice! If there’s something else stopping you though and you want one of these amps, PM me and perhaps I could build you one for a reasonable fee. :)
