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

    Update on my Mojo soap opera: after removing the battery The Mojo works fine and there are no more random shutdowns. The weirdest thing is even the humming / buzzing also stops in 15-30 seconds after I start it. Al in all - I'll keep using it. Less than happy with Chord (on my black list) but so...

    65$ for a battery or to replace the battery? Which dealer - if you don't mind sharing?

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

    I've had it with my POC Mojo. It started shutting down randomly after 1 year of use; the battery hasn't been charging after 18 months - at all. Now it makes some humming sound right after being plugged in - more often than not. When I called the shop who sold me this POC and asked about the...

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    I have to correct a statement made on this forum about my Elex. They do not distort. I had 2 (not 1 but 2) recordings that are poorly engineered and I overreacted thinking it was the Elex. Using other good headphones I came to the conclusion that the Elex accentuates those recording deficiencies...

    Well - I toned down my post. The likelihood is (as you said) they might just be defective. Working on the return.

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    After a few days of critical listening to some of my favorite recordings I made a very disappointing discovery - Elex suffers from really high distortion even at moderate levels. I am not even turning them loud, I have a fairly sensitive hearing. Around half way on volume of my iPhone the sound...

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    Ok - first thing first. The clamping is fine - no problems. Elex is not heavy or at least it doesn't appear to be; a few months ago I gave up my LCD-4 because of clamping and weight. Secondly - I thoroughly checked for sibilance - none. Now I am enjoying the new headphones on my Chord Mojo :)...

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    All is fine. Massdrop should have charged 1$ more and have FedEx deliver rather than USPS - or ship it as fragile. Anyway - super nice box, and superb looking headphones. Listening to them as I type. Happy with my purchase so far.

    Massdrop x Focal Elex Review & Measurements

    My headphones were just delivered - my wife heard the package falling on our concrete porch... The USPS employee just threw it - probably from distance. Massdrop is cheap - the race to the bottom... I'll see if the headphones are ok when I get home.

    RME ADI-2 DAC Thread

    I have a Chord Mojo and to my ears it sounds perfect with my HD 650 / Beyer 880 / 600 ohms. Unfortunately I see random problems with it and the battery doesn't hold a charge for more than 2 hours which means it stays plugged in a lot. Plus - when the power level is lower the THD increases on...

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

    For a while now I noticed that the Mojo's battery light is not turning off anymore while plugged in. At all. I tried different chargers (with enough juice, etc.) - the battery light stays on. Even after 2-3 days left turned off and plugged in. If I unplug it the light turns blue (when Mojo is...

    I have to say you are correct, especially on "99% of happy owners rarely post a review, and so you just see those with issues" Probably my mistake then.

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

    According to reviews from verified purchases on Amazon, the percentage of defect Mojos after 18 months is a lot higher than 5 / 10 000. 1 and 2 star ratings (most of them displeased people with defect mojos after the warranty period) is about 9% + 8% = 17%. That is high and is exactly the reason...

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

    The "good moan" stuff made me smile but I was essentially saying that after 18 months I am looking at a paid repair and according to statistics I can see on Amazon.com there are others in the same situation; I didn't just buy that rare item that's defect. 18 months seem to be the point (again...

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

    My Chord Mojo is almost unusable. First, for more than 2 months it has problems holding a charge for more than 2 hours. I tried different chargers, even though the one I use (Anker) is a great charger and is one of the recommended ones (or it was when I bought it). The Mojo randomly starts...

    Massdrop x THX AAA™ 789 Linear Amplifier - Impressions Thread

    They're not solving Africa's clean water problem nor do they build the first manned flight to Mars... THX could still answer simple questions even if they are at times redundant or simple / simplistic. Part of doing business in a civilized society is playing nice with your potential customers.

    Thank you! That is useful information. Much appreciated. Pardon my ignorance - where did you find out that leaving Mojo plugged in (at all times like I do) is not good? And I was thinking this is actually what I should do... Live and learn.
