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

[esm87]

Anybody here have experience of using the mojo with vibro labs Aria IEM's. If so how does it match? Cheers

Still lovin' my Mojo! Though still average IEMs. Can't wait to hear the CA Nova with it tomorrow.

Any recommendations on which wall chargers to use with the Mojo that's available on amazon?
 
Also, is there a way to make the different mini-jacks output at different volumes (or remember to do so)? I just switched from my amp output to my SE846, and my eardrums almost blew out. Still getting some of that PTSD

Sorry; no.

Sorry; no.

I just have to learn how to read the volume colors then Gonna learn how to lock the volumes as well.

Lol, reading it now
 
I think it didn't reset the volume after I restarted the Mojo because I tweaked the volume settings while on the pre-amp mode.

Yes, when setting the Mojo to the Line Level shortcut (which is all it is - simply a shortcut to that volume, nothing is bypassed) the setting is not remembered. However, when adjusting the volume at all from there it is remembered.

Like any piece of equipment, check the volume before pressing play. I actually like the lights for volume as it's an instant visual to see if I'm in the 'danger zone' with my transducers.

Agree. I love that it lights up. It's in your face and obvious. Though it does take a little while to get your head around what colours mean what when it comes to volume.

My Onkyo is a keeper and so is my DSD Micro I just can't get the Mojo out of my head from the tour unit I had. I will keep my RSMs but want there new quad as well. This hobby is never ending. One thing is I don't want multiple setups just 3 and I have 2, so if I get this I hope it will be it for awhile.

I think it's almost pointless bro. Keep the micro and be happy. Definitely not an upgrade, not even sure if it's a side grade. They sound that much alike to my ears. Of course, my offer to you stands (in case you forgot)

Once you blow your eardrums out it's hard not to forgot what color did such damage haha. My first few days my Mojo was on double blue since I was listening with headphones.I forgot to change it back to double red and ended up accidently pressing play with my iems inserted into my ears. From that point on I remembered to check the colors.

Or push play before putting iems in your ear.

I don't know if this is the best place to ask this query. But I am certain that my fellow Mojo users would be able to help me.
 
While I don't have any plans of buying any audio gear in the foreseeable future, I am thinking of saving up for a desktop DAC to pair with my desktop amp, a Lake People G109-A. Currently, when listening to my mid-fi HPs (Sennheiser HD600 and HifiMan HE-400i), I used my Mojo as a line-out DAC to feed the LP G109-A. 
 
Is the Mojo still better than, say, a Schiit Bifrost Multibit (Bimby) DAC or the Lake People RS 06 DAC (which is somewhat similar to the Violectric V800)? That is, am I better off sticking with the Mojo than getting the Schiit or LP/Violectrick desktop amps? As much as I want to "upgrade" to a Hugo, its price is just too prohibitively expensive for me.
 
Thanks in advance!

IMO, currently owning both DAC, Bifrost Multibit is noticeably ahead of Mojo in depth and holographic imaging (Bimby presents a concert hall soundstage while Mojo closely presents a studio room). IMO, both are equal in detail retrieval and instrument layering, but to me Bifrost Multibit sounds more natural to my AKG K712 headphones while Mojo is slightly brighter/harsher sounding. To some, both are just side grades to Mojo. IMO, if you need a decisive blow against the Mojo, you have to upgrade to Gungnir Multibit.
