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

So I was listening to music with my Mojo/Phone stack and Mojo ran out of battery. What now ? Just charge it ?


How long were you listening for?

Make sure you have a charger that outputs minimum 1 amp to charge the Mojo. If the light is blinking when charging then you don't have a powerful enough charger.

If you were listening for anywhere between 8-10 hours and the battery drained then the best solution is to buy 6 more Mojo's for every day of the week to avoid charging (tongue firmly in cheek on this one!).

Well honestly seems I will need two Mojos. I have no issues on charging, its perfect. The issue is real life battery life. I live in Sub Tropics, its hot and humid. I am walking and jumping on trains and buses so I have the Mojo in my pocket so it get hot on top of the hot weather. I play my music somewhat louder than most of my friends. I EQ the Mojo to produce bass. I turn the Mojo on about 4 times a day. I think all this causes my Mojo to drain faster.

Still, how long does it last total for you? Have you actually timed it? But, yeah, it isn't the longest lasting device out there.

4.5 to 6 hrs

  Just a quick question to onkyo dp-x1 owner, are you guys happy about your pairing?

Ohhh yes

Not as compact as my AK100 MKii was but alas optical out is playing up so it's place has been taken up by my DP-X1

The DP-X1` makes a great source  IMO but I'm sure many would consider this overkill but was never bought with that intention.

It is that the idea of taking 400 GB of my music library, which is basically all I own (excluding my SACD) is alluring. I personally could not tell a difference between optical and USB in when it comes to Mojo, I am yet to try coaxial.

Yep same here. I have ordered a couple of these below which will allow the use of full size SD Cards so potentially up to 1TB

Just need a case to fit it all in now, a bit of a tight fit in the Onkyo branded case, but I got them in (had to order some more as I have damaged the delicate lead)

But all in all the Onkyo can be used as a standalone in the event of your Mojo running out of juice.

I wish DP-X1 was smaller but one can't fault it when compared to the current flagship dap. I might have to break my promise and purchase it, I avoided it this long. If chord only were more clear on their upcoming accessories and their release date I could have make more educated purchase but since they like to be a tease DP-X1 seems to be the only right choice considering it has otg feature, decent UI, great screen and seems to be a decent andriod DAP. 
 
It seems to pair nicely with HUGO too, which is the only case I dont use USB but I preferred optical.

So running a 2.1 active sub and horn speakers/full range cones off the MOJO, I guess it needs to be in variable volume mode (not line out) otherwise in the case of hooked up to Audirvana + anything less than full volume at the OSX end would not be bit perfect.
Although the active sub can be independently controlled, the full range cones would be maxed out at full volume in L.O. mode if wired directly into the 2nd 3.5" port (?)

I'm not too sure about all the science and mathematics above


But what I do know is  (Mojo + HP + FLAC)T = Joy³


Please note: FLAC can be substituted with WAV, DSD, ALAC AIFF
T=Time in hours

HP= Headphone IEM/CIEM

 
:L3000:  


It was actually criticism of Schiit's claims regarding their megaburrito filter. Regarding Rob's technological claims, those particular claims seem sound enough for the most part and the results hard to argue, even if the benefits are usually seemingly overstated in audiophile fluffery (and the claims of "timing accuracy" still gets on my nerves, :p ), but then that's par for the course in this trade. Can we be friends again Rob Watts? :p

But regarding point 2, how does >120dB stop-band rejection matter when the SNR of the whole system is below 120dB? :p

Petrol vs Diesel...

You have your protagonists on each side of that fence, and the various car makers can squeeze plenty out of both fuels...

Similar principle, and there are lovers and haters of both, same principle applies here - if there was no desire for different principles and ideologies then you would still be sat with the Philips TDA1540... Also, should be considered that (whilst looking at redbook at least) that it only needs a 14 bit bit depth - the extra two bits were added by Sony very early on in the redbook specification - they are essentially padding.
