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

    Heya everyone, I have Dynaudio mc15 active speakers connected to my Mojo (3.5mm > to stereo phono). There's no volume control on the speakers. The speakers are very loud in my room so I have the speakers set to -10db via a switch at the back, this is the lowest volume they will go. Other...

    Chord Mojo issue solutions thread.

    Has anybody had their Mojo's usb input come loose and entirely detach from the board? I contacted Chord who said that I need to contact the dealer, but it's been over two years and I don't think they would be of help. Is it easy enough to solder back on? Anyone done so succesfully? It's a...

    Questyle CMA600i first impressions thread

    Video demonstrating the issue of "popping" after approx 3 seconds of pausing/stopping audio playback. I tested with my iPhone 8 to see if it was isolated to Windows 10, using a camera connection kit (lightning to usb) and the exact same thing happens. Optical input to the 600i no issues. Only...

    Questyle CMA600i first impressions thread

    Thanks for testing that for me and comfirming results, I later edited my post to reflect that it wasn't only the 600i popping between track switching. I do have an issue with vlc media player and Youtube, basically pcm audio, when playing music or streaming videos. After three seconds of...

    Questyle CMA600i first impressions thread

    Post edited.. It seems the 600i may not be to blame for these "popping" sounds whilst skipping tracks using pcm audio, I have not tested Dsd yet. Aside, just a general question for all 600i owners, has anyone experienced a faint "pop" after playing a youtube video clip? After approx (edit -...

    Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)

    I picked up a Questyle 600i. It has a bit more oomph in the bass department, with excellent clarity. A good match for the Hd800S.

    Questyle CMA600i first impressions thread

    I picked up a brand new 600i from a local supplier recently, and found that there's slight channel imbalance at low volume. At zero volume on the pot, the balance is equal (but there is also some sound leakage). At the first tick on the volume pot there is an increase of a few decibels on the...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    Reflecting on my post earlier on.. I popped over to a local chord dealer today and listened to the Hugo 2 . A/B testing against a Mojo. Listening to my Hd800S[s model] what I found was a pleasant surprise. The Hugo 2 does indeed widen the soundstage a little and give the low end a boost. I...

    Chord Electronics - Hugo 2 - The Official Thread

    To those who upgraded from a Mojo to the Hugo 2, and have tested with Senn Hd800(s model), would you say the upgrade is worthwhile, without any additional amplification? Does the Hugo 2 boost the low end at all (in a good way)?

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

    Are there any benefits to pairing a Hugo 2 over a Mojo when combined with HD800S (newer model) ? I'm finding the Mojo lacks punch in kick drums when paired with the HD800S and need an amp/dac that provides that fine warm detail Mojo provides but with more low end weight? Does the Hugo provide...

    Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)

    I thought so. I connected the mojo to a musical fidelity m1 hpa (amp), hoping to increase the 800S lowend whilst maintaining a good level of detail from the dac in the Mojo and even though there was a decent boost, It introduced a spike in the treble which sounded sharp and not pleasant at all...

    Sennheiser HD800 S Impressions Thread (read first post for summary)

    I just picked up these cans, the HD800S, and coming from He-500's, combined with a Chord Mojo I found with some tracks these cans can make drums sound weak, low quality and distorted. In the song, "This is me" from the soundtrack "The greatest showman ensemble", at 1:30, the kick drum sounds...

    Best headphone you ever heard.

    The newer S model. I resisted going for the hd800 (former model) since its release, as all complaints I read about strong peaks put me off - i'm highly sensitive to strong upper peaks. I love my he-500s for everything but its not the clearest in the treble department. I tried a few different...

    Best headphone you ever heard.

    Glad you said this, as after using he-500s for approx 5 years I've a pair of hd800s coming tomorrow (to compliment my he-500s) I bought them blindly so I'm hoping I get on with them :)

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

    Hi guys, I've come across an issue with windows 10 (fall update installed), and the Chord Mojo, which seems to cause Firefox v57 (the default version from their website) to stutter when watching youtube videos. When Chord Mojo is selected as the default sound device (default settings selected...

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    I also found the x2s sounded harsh, but that was when they were connected to a sabre chip dac. Two sabre dacs I tried, an ha2 original and Dragonfly red. However once I plugged them into a smoother sounding dac, that harshness was slightly rolled off, rather than sounding like noise. I now...

    Oppo PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphone Impressions Thread

    Just an update on how I'm getting on with these pm1's. I've been using them for a few days now, connected to a Chord Mojo (usb), listening to Spotify Premium (windows 10), and had 50+ hours listening time with them. I've noticed that I no longer feel the need to hear the slightly louder low...

    Oppo PM-1 Planar Magnetic Headphone Impressions Thread

    I guess that's what I was expecting, a direct upgrade. When I looked at the price and reviews it had an influence to make me believe that.. I have been listening to my he-500s for a few years I suppose I've become accustomed to their sound.
