got one on order for tomorrow, ive been pining for something new since i had a chord mojo for almost a year having sent 2 back for bad batteries, it was either a soundcard or a new av amp, im still resisting replacing the onkyo 805 (25kg beast) the only issue it has is thats its almost 10 years...

After reducing my mojo to a paper weight and replacing it with better powered solution. I'm kind of hoping the chord would issue an apology for engineering such a monstrously flawed product, over hyped with the technobabble that people like me brought. (sadly i still want to listen to it)...

After changing my ways ie using mojo less turning it off more, i forgot to put the power connection on, and the battery died in 1 hour! This is the worse designed dac on earth!!!!!!!! If i was Chord I would create an upgrade program for Mojo 1 allowing them to operate without the battery, or...

for me personally after going through a ton of brainstorming with its 24/7 battery usage, i've had to change my behavior with it. I unplug it to check its battery status light, i've had to think of ways of turning it off more, in hindsight chord mojo is a step forward but an experiment...

Dairy entry: 27 Dear head-fi: Day 1 of full discharge and charge. 1) Bleed successful i hope, I bleed it to the point where it wouldn't turn on after 20-30 power presses. 2) Full charge 3) Used it for a few hours, unplugged and checked battery Blue, then white plugged-in led. 4) Left it...

its primary function is a dac, it will be useless to me if its not, i'd rather throw it out the window if chord cant rectify this problem, i've emailed them see what they say. if they can take the battery out i would love that, its not super easy, it requires a skilled engineer, and i...

mojo #1 had the 24/7 battery issue aswell, chord said exchange it on amazon, 5 months later back to same issue.

Thanks for continuing the talk about 24/7 Dac use, battery etc Its very annoying being told by Chord that Mojo is good to be used 24/7 and having people who know about the battery more say, it will die and being on the 2nd mojo myself having it happen again. P.S 1) Bleeding: im still...

AGHH Somebody please explain this to me. Please Mojo powered on in dac mode "constant voltage" for 5 months. Turns off, i bleed it dry. Maybe not enough because it can still turn on. Gave it a full charg. Led stays white. 3 days later turns off again. Unplug cable its red. Has it died...

the ambient temp isnt 40c, room temp is normal 17-20c, mojo unit temp is 40c tops (i consider that normal) warm, but not as hot as the previous unit got. Yes, re-reading it to be certain #3 battery and charging, and leaving it on 24/7 Its charged now and i've been listen to music on it...

Mojo #2 has been operating 24/7 for a good 2-3 months. Varied states mostly DAC. This is the first time, its failed over twice in 2 days, [1st instance i didn't bleed it] Now I've let it bleed blinking red. 35-40c I've had to bleed it dry and fully recharge it again, now its squealing...

NOOOO # unit 2 of Mojo working well for a 2-3 months, now it turned off #unit 1 did a similar thing which got worse.. im going to throw this in the bin if thats the case again! :(

Detective marbles might be on to something here, recently ive been miffed about pops/clicks/harshness after a number of windows creative updates ive lost track off my PC software ecosystem. So i've had todo some digging again this time trying something different. Literally all PC's have noisy...

Another moment of madness from me yay, maybe its a local pc problem because im playing around with updates and hpet settings and switching from my carefully placed network usb connection, and ethernet onboard. Powersettings and other PC road-bumps are thoroughly troubleshooted. I havent gone...

I've always found that 3.5mm can be tedious to make connect, you have tried rotating it whilst connected?

could maybe get a usb powered mini fan and a thermometer?

confirming my worse fears ? so usb, line out = its gonna drain the battery regardless of charge from the mains? but its not running low impedance , is it? drains because of thermal? if so what kind of cooling does it need? what about hot days is 30c ambient, will that cook the battery...

eek thats scary im on my 2nd mojo now after having switch off issues, i let its battery drain off 3 times, tried several recharges with different usb cables, 1amp, 2 amp, maplins 2amp wall socket micro usb, computer psu, 2 mains locations. i got a white light charge, first time it died it...

are you listening to it line out mode? (4 presses down volume) line out, can remember its mode if you press up and down volume i believe. if not loose cable?

replying to myself as a followup #craycray brought a new usb charger and its hissing now so i guess thats a good sign, last cable should of been ok, im guessing its because of the tiny tiny usb power connector also still not sure if it did overheat, what would it do? just turn off or...

cant tell if its been caused after it turned off, as i said its been operational for months, but i will explore another cable

it overheated again (or battery) im using it as a desktop dac twice in 2 days, 2nd time i moved it to a cooler place, kind of near a fan what do you guys suggest i do now? is it broke? wait for winter? go to maplins and buy raspberry pi heat sinks and a tiny fan for it? out of all my...

yes, mine turned off because of 30 c ambient i've unplugged it to cool down, re-positioned it to a cooler place, for debate though, can the battery be removed for cooler operation ?

thanks for the idea, as i use the mojo 24/7 daily driver Is the battery the main cause of the heat? Can i operate mojo without it? edit: re-positioned it to a cooler place hoping for the best will monitor it :*(
