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

I think you may require a more powerful charger

In one case, switching cable helped me.

 
Yes, Rob has remarked that some cables have unnecessarily high-resistance, which can cause some minor issues, and thus are best-avoided:

However, I think, in this instance, that John is probably correct that the charger needs upgrading.

Hi mates i am currently own fiio e17 with lg v10 now i am planning to upgrade with chord mojo unfortunatly i dont have a choice to audition mojo so guys please can you advaice me will chord mojo gonna make huge different in the sound instead e17
Thanks

I still own the E17 and also the  E18.
But since I got the Mojo, these have never been used again, they have been consigned to that drawer with my Nokia 3110, cassette tapes and floppy discs.

The one thing is you will need decent files preferably 16 Bit 44.1Khz or higher, although good results also have been reported with AAC files too.
Decent headphones or IEM's also required

There's no problem using the LG V10 with Mojo. The V10, btw, has the best mobile DAC I've heard, and obviously it is very convenient to use on the road with my Audeze LCD-X. The Mojo is better of course with the V10, but you need a good cable and connection to make it work the best. I have no issues with cable connections, at least no more than with older iPhones and HTC1-M8. The HTC refused to work with the Mojo.
 
Otherwise I use the Mojo in what I think is the best configuration for it: on the desktop with Curious USB cable from Australia, USB REGEN, Fidelia Audio Player on new iMac using GoodHertz software - as opposed to the older iZotope engine. Wireworld Platinum wire to Audeze. The Mojo sounds superb!
 
The USB Regen takes the Mojo to another level yet...totally relaxed and any digititis one may imagine should become a thing of the past. People speak of "organic" with  the Mojo and a few good DACs... Add REGEN and discover organic.

RE LG5 and DAC module: Not available to the best of my knowledge and the one in the V10 is excellent...with the right headphones. I WAAAY prefer the V10 to the LG5 and just purchased a second in my family.

Let me just move the Radio Gram, Valves and Gramophone first..

I have SE846, in fact two of them. No hiss from my side, even if I put volume to max. Mojo is quite famous to have smallest noise floor possible. Double check your cables!

I use a Silver Dragon.
What do you mean by check your cables?

No, it has no MFI chip inside. They specifically say in the description that it won't work with the Mojo. It's more for people that believe silver cable audio improvements.

Edit: your best choice for straight connectors seems to be the Lavricables solution, though at 3x the cost.

The short right angle from Taobao wasn't working out for me so I got the same guy to make me a 50cm with straight plugs, this actually has the best fitting connector in the too shalllow Mojo receptacle out of all the cables I've tried, it's a little loose at the iPhone end but not too bad

Yes, thanks for the link, i bought 2 and i feel no degradation in SQ.
Previously i was using Monoprice Micro USB cable 28AWG with ferrite cor eon one end + 1 OTG cable.
 
I have one small right angle Micro USB to Micro USB OTG, but that is not of good quality.
But this Penon 1 is nice.
