chord mojo

Dan Clark Audio headphones are well regarded here on Head-Fi. On individual threads for the E3, NOIRE X and ÆON 2 Noire, I’ve seen many fellow Head-Fiers comparing these three headphones. After having a chance to demo them myself I decided to share my findings here. For the sake of transparency...

So the battery on my Chord Mojo died. No surprise, eh? I read how people are running them with no battery or spending a fortune on repairs. I'm a think-out-of-the box person and I came up with a cheap fix. I sourced a battery on Amazon that was 7.4V, 2200mA and 16.3 Wh and only $16.49. It is...

Morning all. I've been through a clearout of my stuff recently and now have just a Zen DAC V2, with a Zen CAN on the way for the HD58X. I like the Ifi house sound but am wondering if the Mojo 1 might offer something different, either by itself or hooked up to the CAN. I would be using the Mojo...

Hi guys, Trying to decide between upgrading my iBasso DX50 by adding a Chord Mojo as a DAC or using the money to upgrade from the iBasso to an Astell & Kern SR15. I like that the A&K will mean I can use Tidal, but I like that the Mojo could also be used with my iPhone. Any guidance would be...

Hi all, I’ve been reading with amazement the depth of knowledge and experience in these forums. As I step gingerly into the audiophile world, I have the following question: I have a Chord Mojo and a pair of HiFiMAN HE1000 (v1), connected to a Mac Mini both high-res files and now listening to...

Hello, I have read several different comparisons between the 2 dacs, but I am puzzled at some of the information that I have read. Some users claim that the Mojo offers a sound that is comparable, or even better than that of the Hugo Chord 2. I live in a rural area where there are no hi end...

TL;DR: Recommend me custom IEMs in range of 1200$/€/£ :) Long-form post: Hey all, returning to Head-Fi after a long break blowing all my student loan on Magic cards :p I had some Earsonics SM64s a couple of years ago, but sadly after ~4 years of love and daily use, the shells crumbled beyond...

I bought a pair of Audeze LCD-XC and I just love the thease headphones. (Previously I had an Opp PM-3). The dealer also suggested to buy a Chord Mojo, and it seems that it smoothens the sound, but not much difference compared to the MacBook. Anyway, I was happily living with both until last...

Hi there, Greetings, I’m a newbie to these forums and after a bit of advice if that’s ok. Have just purchased a Hiby R3, which I’m loving. Have transferred a lot of DSD and Flac files onto the SD card and I’m playing it through a Chord Mojo into my Naim amp. Sounds fabulous - in fact, some...

Head-Fi Family, For those of us up here in the Northern Hemisphere, Summer is just around the corner and with it the famed summer playlist. Now when you purchase one of our favorite DACs, the Mojo Amplifier, with any of our Universal IEMs, you'll save 15% on both! Many of you here are familiar...

Hi! I recently purchased a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PROs and am loving them. I'm currently driving them with a FiiO Q1 Mk2 but I'm not sure whether it's sufficiently powerful enough for 250ohm headphones. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the theory regarding headphones/amp matching...

Thinking about setting up my Chord Mojo through my desktop going through the optical cable. I used to have a Schiit Jotunheim I rather enjoyed with my LCD-X, but have since sold both. How well does the chord Mojo perform through optical going through a desktop computer?

Hello, I'm rather new here but I was getting my first set of in ear monitors which are going to be the Campfire audio Vegas, and in a few weeks my A12T I already have the Chord Mojo I am rather enjoying, but it seems to drain the battery on my phone pretty quickly. I mostly work at a desk...

Hello all, thanks to your help I bought the DT-880 600 ohm. Never regretted buying it. It's a wonderful headphone for the modest prize. But now I am looking for a IEM / CIEM (in combination with a mobile DAC) that has equal or slightly better sound. - sound stage has to be the same or better...

HI All, We are going to have another round of loaner participants now that the Mojo/Poly combo is working well together. So, the normal loaner rules... accepting 5 people. Send your name and address, telephone number and your Head-Fi user name to me (Todd) at todd@ttvjaudio.com. Do NOT PM me...

Starting to move into speakers now that I've finished my headphones set-up. Based on reviews, KEF LS50 is my top choice and may pick up a pair for $700 used. I do not own any receiver or amp for speakers, but I have a Chord Mojo I can hopefully use as DAC. Very excited! Been reading a lot and...

Hello guys, I'm currently looking into changing my workplace headphones to the Sony WH-1000XM3 to be cordless and also have noice cancelling. I'd like to couple them to my Laptop (Dell XPS 15 9560) which doesn't have any special bluetooth features and would only be able to use the SBC-Codec...

Hi all, I am a newby wanna-be audiophile (for now :) who did his research and came up with a combination of a rega brio r / chord mojo dac and acoustics 3020 speakers. Basically the typical fallpit that someone who listens to reviews can possibly do. Does it sound like what’s been promised - No...

I know this fiio L19 cable has been seen working directly from mojo to lightning on iPhone for iPhone 5-6 and iPad mini-mini 2. Videos shown it working up to iOS 9.3.2 and I am wondering since I have an iPhone 7 and iOS 11 if anyone has an info of experience of this working with your Apple...

I have managed to acquire my dream audio player second hand in the form of an Astell & Kern AK380. I’m finding the bass and overall ‘oomph’ in the music played to be missing e.g. Sting, INXS and modern soul and funk. A friend of mine connected his Chord Mojo to it using a Micro USB to Micro...

Good day for every one! I bought Mojo one week ago. I like it but I have a question about sound quality. I would like to know whether it is my device has some issue with sound. Some background: I have a musical education and can hear some difference in sound. I use headphones Meze 99. I use my...

In looking for something to replace my current DAC and heard the Questyle could be used as one. Is there any lag in playback? I may use it for watching videos and playing games. How's the sound quality compared to the Mojo? Especially considering detail retrieval, texture, articulation, and...

i'm not asking for help, i wanna know what you would do chord mojo + poly = 1200-1300 usd chord hugo 1 = 1200-1300 usd on ebay if your lucky which one would you get? which one has better performance? WHY IS THE POLY SO EXPENSIVE?!

Hello Everyone, I've owned my Chord Hugo 2 for a few weeks now, and am still perplexed as to this issue. My Chord Hugo 2 sounds great, but it showed up as "Mojo" in my system preferences on my late 2016 Macbook Pro. Does anyone know how this could have happened? I assume it's a problem on...

Disclaimer: I don't intend this post to be the ultimate "mid-price" buying guide. It will only include my very own impressions about the DAC/amp mentioned, there will be no graphs nor detailed reviews – many great head-fiers have done that before me. The idea only stemmed from my sudden...
