    Topaz Low-Capacitance Isolation Transformers - for Affordably Clean Power

    Tinnitus always gets worse in the silence, due to the adaptive nature of the brain's gain. No exotic explanations needed for this. It equally tends to get worse if you concentrate in trying to hear it (similar effect) so you might just be being fooled by your brain on this one.

    Topaz Low-Capacitance Isolation Transformers - for Affordably Clean Power

    Hi Shyamwanne, interesting observations. I especulate if it could be the side effects that come combined with magnetic and electrical fields like ultrasonic noise or something else, but not them directly. Would you feel sick also when passing beneath high power transmission lines? The fields...

    Topaz Low-Capacitance Isolation Transformers - for Affordably Clean Power

    Hi shyamwanne, very interesting observation. I sometimes have headaches when listening to music especially when there is any excess brightness or harshness. It generally turns out that these days I forget to close the blinds which help to kill the 1st order reflection from the glass wall, then...

    Any reasonable explanation as for why the main thread was locked?

    I've seen this behaviour before when setting up the Mojo in native (perhaps?) instead of DoP mode, therefore my curiosity to know if you have tried fiddling with the settings...

    Did u set it up correctly? Sounds like if it is using the wrong mode. I haven't received mine yet so I can't help.

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

    Actually, yes. The maths behind it are actually complex (and Rob knows this very well), but in few words you start with the highest frequency of human hearing, add a band for the low pass filter roll-off, and double it. In the best case scenario, this sample rate will reproduce the analog...

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

    Sorry but that doesn't make any sense. 44.1 kHz is just above twice the limit of human hearing due to... mathematical reasons.

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

    It depends a lot on what the master file is and what DAC you're using. On the Mojo it's hard to identify the difference due to upsampling, especially if the 44.1 version is simply downsampled from a higher frequency version. Also on the Mojo, DSD and DXD sound exactly the same to me, on my other...

    New Hidizs AP200 double DAC Android-based smart music player

    Thanks dude. Yes it takes some effort to go to the post office, fill in the form, then go again to get the package, etc etc. But I agree it would be the right thing to do in the end. It's just a pity that I need a player mostly for traveling...

    New Hidizs AP200 double DAC Android-based smart music player

    Since it is a pain in the neck to set this up and costs me money, it would be rather nice to know the unit is going to be shipped isn't it? Besides, the idea was to bring the player along...

    Not much to look forward anymore, I guess. The other day I thought that had arrived, however it was something else worth the same value. In a week time, I'll be going away for several weeks. So if the AP200 arrives in between, it will likely be returned by the post office.

    New Hidizs AP200 double DAC Android-based smart music player

    Hi, short answer: I don't think any smartphone will be at the same level of the the Mojo period. There's no such thing as an "audiophile smartphone", they may have been paying more attention to sound quality nowadays but it's still a delta-sigma DAC that shares the board and power supply with...

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

    Hi styks, thanks a lot for the feedback. Yeah, the S5 is very bad in pairing with the Mojo regarding interference. People have been luckier with other models however with the S5 it is truly unbearable. Your data point confirms my findings (at least I feel less weird in this thread now). There is...

    New Hidizs AP200 double DAC Android-based smart music player

    Risking having to eat up my own words, but I don't think that any current portable DAP is on par with the Mojo. The Mojo is quite competent (PCM only by the way) even compared to much more expensive DACs. I much prefer my home stereo DAC for DSD, however for PCM the margin is much narrower...

    Pretty soon, I'd guess - DAC mode in Android should not be rocket science. However, for me it's a matter of timing - I'm going on long holidays in few weeks and since I have no transports at the moment I need something that just works.

    If that's the case, then I may have one for sale tomorrow (got a notification from the post office). I only needed it as a transport for the Mojo. Anyone interested?

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

    This is clear, however electrically it is advantageous to have the port directly soldered. Everything is a compromise in the end, I'm happy with the implementation but then I only transport the Mojo inside a waterproof Peli case. Dude, would you mind awfully to make a small test with the S5...

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

    Hmmm ports soldered to the board should be good!? I wondered before if moisture, oils etc. would not actually get in through the marbles. That's what I considered a weakpoint in the design - not only they're natural smudge collectors, they also roll. I try to keep mine as clean and still as...
