Recent John Franks and Darko interview
http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2016/07/a-new-normal/
 
''A new normal''
 
once opened, scroll down (near the bottom) of the article for Vimeo interview.
trying to copy/paste but vimeo not working for me today.
..but once you click on 'watch on vimeo' it will take you to the interview.
 
snippet:
 
" I sat down with Franks and Sales Manager Colin Pratt for a chat. There was no set agenda but we conversed for over an hour and I filmed the lot. The resulting video runs to 22 minutes, which, I know, is an eternity in the world wide web of two-minute satisfaction but it rewards the patient viewer.
 
Make a cuppa and settle in to hear Franks and Pratt discuss: the audio industry; hifi shows that know how to talk to their audience; the need to visit one’s target market where they live and not expect consumers to come to you, especially the young’uns; the success of the Mojo and its implications for Team Chord’s global travel arrangements; the merits of Bluetooth audio; the possibility of smaller spin-off products and, get this, a Rob Watts-designed A/D converter."

  Anyone have any objections if I delete posts 3 and 4?


The ignorant/lazy/illiterate people who keep on asking the same questions and do not even take the effort to read back 5 posts should not let you down Mython.
I do believe, there is a significant number of more intelligent but invisible masses, who do benefit from the valuable information that can be found in post3 and 4.

Agreed.

I thougt my micro usb to micro usb cable was an otg cable.But looks like im wrong. :p  No expert.lol. So i think an standard otg cable + an otg adapter is the way to go for making tidal work propaply. otg usb micro with usb adapter to standard usb otg cable with usb micro in the other end :)

I know that a lot of lazy individuals do not bother to read those posts before asking questions, and that it must irritate you.
 
Those two posts do represent a valuable knowledge base for the Mojo product, and i find the knowledge base has been useful to me on many occasions.
 
However if the question you meant to ask is whether those two posts are the best way to provide/display the information?, then i would answer not any more.
 
I have started to think that because the two posts contain such a large amount of information, about many Mojo and Chord topics, that the information would be better structured in the form of a wiki.
 
Then posters to this thread could be directed to this wiki. However i also recognise that creating such a wiki could be a large task for you, and you may not have the spare time. I am happy to offer to help you set the wiki up, if you need any help.

Absolutely, I've found numerous answers there that were very helpful where otherwise I would have posted.

Thanks for sharing that. Loved the part when Colin said:
 
"Have you got MP3s on your phone? I don’t care.. Plug this (Mojo) in.. You’ll just get an improved experience.."

Sorry, was just (as politely as possible) cheesed-off. Not angry; just cheesed-off 
confused_face.gif
, and those of you who've been around the thread for a while know exactly why.
 
I don't egotistically believe that post #3 is an oracle of information for everything Mojo-related, but it does contain a heap of information that would answer well over 50% of the questions that are repetitively asked in the thread, and it is clear that some people do not even read the thread title...

FWIW, I don't think there is a truly perfect format in which to present so much information. It's a huge stack of information.
 
That's not meant arrogantly or dismissively.      I realise post #3 isn't perfect, but I did do a major reformatting, end of March, which made things much more accessible than previously (and added a huge chunk of information from Rob's various informative contributions, around the Chord threads, on head-fi), and continue to add info and tweak the formatting, 2-3 times a week.
 
 
 
As noted at the very top of post #3 (LOL!), Currawong started a Mojo FAQ, which contains a decent amount of useful guidance, and which anyone can contribute to. Someone did start a Mojo wiki, but it never took-off, as the Mojo FAQ got more attention.
 
 
 
BTW, in case anyone is scratching their head about why post 4 duplicates post 3, I know it's a bit weird, and I never originally intended post #4 to do that.
 
What happened is that the more post #3 grew, with almost-daily additions, as the thread has matured to over 1300 pages, in 9 months, it became increasingly code-heavy, in terms of all the nested formatting, etc. It still edits (and loads) just fine, and since the parsing engine was upgraded, a couple of months ago, the edits generally submit reliably. But because the amount of content and formatting pushes the editor and the parsing engine to quite a degree, it can get very sluggish during editing and submission, and, in the event of a formatting mishap or browser crash, or similar unforeseen circumstance, I am not willing to risk losing 9 months of content and formatting, so post #4 is used as a safety back-up. So, in spite of seeming evidence to the contrary, there is method in my madness

Thankyou for the supportive remarks from some of you, and thankyou, Canali, for the video of John and Colin

. It must be so hard for John to be forced to travel all over east-Asia, Australia, China, etc. having to deal with adoring fans, at hi-fi events, and socialising, after hours, in numerous different cultures

An hour back I hooked my Mojo to my PC and hit Play and there was no output. I usually hear a very faint hiss through my IE80 when the Mojo is in ON state. I was not hearing this hiss and I was concerned. I tried it with all my devices (PC, Fiio X3ii, iPhone 6), and nothing changed. I restarted it a couple of times and that didn’t help either.  But I did not give up just yet because, every time I connected one of the devices and tried to play, the Power ball always lit up.
 
Then I tried something but I am not certain if that was what fixed the problem. I switched the device off and then started to press and hold down 2 buttons at a time for 5-10 seconds. First the Power & Volume +, then Power & Volume – and then Volume + & Volume -.
 
Then I turned the device back on and I heard that faint hiss on my IE80. Then I connected it to my PC and hit Play and it works fine now.

Just wondering if the Mojo was in a state of thermal shutdown, and just needed to cool down for a few minutes.

Actually, I was turning it on for the first time in the day and was not connected to any charger for almost 48hrs.

Even if it was a thermal shut-off , wouldn't the device not turn on at all?
