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

      Ok. I did a 6 hour drive in the Scottish highlands last week. I was using the satnav on the phone, while listening to music through the Mojo. Phone in normal operation, or as normal as it gets in the highlands, signal wise. No noise.    All I'm saying, again, is that ymmv. Maybe you listen...

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

      I think 'tons of noise' is a little bit extreme. I don't have this issue with my LG G3, with generic usb cables used. No noise encountered, on my current setup anyway. More like ymmv with this issue, rather than a definite yes and tons of it. Just saying... ;-)

    Wouldn't the dragongly red win outright portability-wise? tiny and with negligible weight?

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

        To be honest since I stopped using the mojo outside this has stopped being a problem. Now it's always connected to a plug so it doesn't matter anymore. It's just a damn shame that charging can be so charger/cable dependent. If I don't have the same problem with a n y other rechargeable...

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

      Yep me and others here have the recharging issue as well. And yes, unless I unplug and replug I can't guarantee that the unit will charge when I switch it off. It's a minor thing but can be annoying non the less. I found that the charger I use makes no difference. I guess, since it's the only...

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

      I've had zero connection issues with generic cables and my win10 pc or android phone and I bought my mojo over 6 months ago. No squealing either. Everybody worries about the micro usb ports but gotta say they've been solid as! Cannot vouch about iphones though.

    Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3

    well... I've had my T50s for 4 months now and all I can say is that you need to persevere with them. I couldn't use them for more than 30 min max to begin with. I started stretching the headband from time to time and that definitely helped with the clamping force. I started wearing them...

        You could actually have a point. I'll try another charger and see if it makes a difference. Good to see others have experienced this issue

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

    ok, I'd like to discuss the only issue I have with the Mojo, and it's something I've noticed 8-10 times now. Been through the whole thread and the 3rd post and if I missed a mention of it, forgive me. Try this scenario:  Mojo runs out of juice while using it. You want to keep using it there and...

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

    same here, so many possibilities with the module, can't wait for an update. The Mojo is too precious to carry around, god have mercy if I damage it or lose it. PC to mojo, outputing to headphones and speaker amp, gotta love the 2 outputs. Never far away from a charger too. Bliss....

    The pads bother me the most, not really worried by cable quality at this stage. But yeah, it's all about the sound quality with these babies, all else can burn in hell hahah

      Zeos? Not many reviews out there at the moment.  I like the look of the cans with the orange cable so it's my preferred option right now. It will probably get less rubbery with time and (ab)use anyway. I'm not sure I want to "operate" on them just yet though, too new and shiny ;-)

    Right, impressions after a week of using those babies (T50RPs):   Comfort... Clamping force and pads are crashing my ears/upper jaw. Can't wear them for more than 30-45 min at a time without needing a comfort rest. AKG702s have to come to the rescue regularly. Guess I'll wait for the community...

    I don't ever use it on the go anymore, got to agree it's too bulky and heavy and I'm not keen on straps or bands to keep it in place, it's such a clumsy solution. It is permanently connected to my pc and the outputs are connected to my headphones and speaker amplifier. Works like a dream!

    Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3

    I'm actually getting bass overload with the MK3s at the moment, brain/ears burn-in is still ongoing ;-) I can't discern a huge difference in soundstage compared to the 702s tbh but imaging is indeed better. Detail retrieval is better as well, my Chord Mojo has so much more to give. It's only my...

    Fostex new RP headphones - T50RPmk3, T40RPmk3 and T20RPmk3

    Why thank you! My other cans are AKG 702s, and so so comfortable, I can wear them for hours without even noticing. I got the T50RPs, after reading any review and impressions post I could find. The bass is more than enough for me, and I listen to a lot of bass heavy music, but that could be...

    New Member Introductions thread

    Christ I hate introductions.. I started with a Little Dot I+ and a pair of AKG 702s. Did some minimal tube rolling, and then moved to a Chord Mojo which is pretty much end-game for all DAC intents and purposes. Got the Fostex T50RP mk3s today and may this hobby empty my wallet for years to come ;-)

    Just got my pair! Time to burn-in my ears now ;-) First planar and yes the bass is tremendous and the clarity is up there and the comfort is just about bearable. Using a Chord Mojo to drive them and it's not even breaking a sweat haha. time to re-visit my collection
