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

  has anyone paied Mojo with X3 yet? X5 seems to be on a large side stack-wise with mojo.

I will be trying this, though it will not be my primary setup. In order from most likely to least, I would be using laptop, cellphone, and disc transport.

Original 120 fits mojo better (100 even more so!)

Getting a bit bored of my own words here, sound like some backwater preacher or something, however - I cannot help but worship at the altar of the AK120/Mojo/Layla combination, I am of the definite belief that for my musical tastes I have not heard a better sounding home rig, so that a portable setup can do this is all the more baffling to me...

Rocking out on a bus right now

Duncan, I can understand! Your comments are pulling me into a deeper veil of confusion! Whether to get the ak100 or get the ak120ii for future proofing!

Hello anyone uses AK100, AK100II or AK120Ii with MOJO? I have a problem with my AK100II with MOJO.

I use Black rhodium Toslink and music files with sampling rate at 192khz and higher (including DSD) cannot be played with MOJO. MOJO's power button has no light and no sound when playing these files.

I suspect that the Black rhodium Toslink cable is likely to be incapable of playing files with high sampling rate 192 or above.

Any comment please?

The quality of the cable could limit up to 192, but for anything above that's a limitation with the Toslink standard, which only goes up to 192.

DSD (at least on the 120 Titan) is converted to 88.2khz (assuming 24 bit but don't know) and plays fine on mine with a vanilla patch cord.

DSD plays at 48khz(orange light)on mojo with Titan and same DSD track lights up blue light on ak100ii,confusing!!
It wont play any 24bit past 96khz!This using generic toslink cables.
All my hires tracks light up and play correctly on dacmagic plus,so i think mojo cannot play above 24/96 with toslink!!

You're right re DSD, I got that muddled up, am out and do not have the colour guide to hand...

I can assure categorically though that I've had the mojo up to its max over optical, was a discussion about that in the thread yesterday (that some original non Titan 120s do have problems unless using a high end cable)

 

[cattlethief]

played 24/192 on my mac via toslink to mojo and no go!(Audirvana)
plays ok withAudio technica AT-HA26D with same cable so I think that confirms Mojo cannot play above 24/96 via Toslink.

Could be that the AK needs its jack cleaning, here is mine, okay, you cannot see the AK underneath, but you'll get the point....

I like the look of that, very neat!! Following on from your Sony feedback earlier, would you recommend the titan 120 instead? I've seen somewhere with new stock for the same price as the ak100ii

Excuse the bands being wonky, I bought the AK for the form factor and then missed the final touches haha!

Me personally, yes, the optical out of the 120 [Titan] really, no - REALLY compliments both the mojo and the Layla's

It seems the surface is scratch magnet?

No need to apologise

My Oppo pm3s have just arrived and partner wonderfully with the mojo so it's a case of looking for the source now, my phone can't contain my whole library and I need to leave SOME battery for actual phone tasks!

I guess I should look at the differences between the ak100ii and the titan 120, looking at your pictures it's a lot smaller than I was imagining it, is it really smaller than your mojo?

Do you find the quality of toslink makes much difference?

As an aside I had a listen to North Jones on 24/192 via my separates on digital out too, I'm even more impressed with the mojo now!

 

[Duncan]

The AK100 (original) is virtually IDENTICALLY the same size as the mojo (perfect stack), the AK120 (Titan) is ever so slightly longer (a few millimetres), but with the screen at the top it allows for the bands to be placed how I have and to have full access to the screen...

The mkii versions seem to have the screens lower down the chassis, so would need someone with a mkii to post images of how they've attached their player to the mojo to be sure.

Edit: a picture paints a thousand words, reverse angle for the 120...
