You are welcome. Yes, a lot of devices seem to allow the user to EQ when feeding the Mojo. I must admit though, lately, I have been considering getting a Sony A15 to go with my Mojo. With a dual-tape or a dual-lock, these two devices should practically merge together into a single device.

How many hours of playback do you get on your A17 when feeding the Mojo?

Happy Listening!


I will let you know in a few days. Have not had my Mojo long enough to know yet.

Like I said, love what I am hearing, Mojo definitely has more DAC computing power. Will just have to find some darker IME's to use with it, I guess.

Cheers...

I think you may have mistook the cord to chord. The poster was trying to find out if it was because of the cable (cord) he was unable use the EQ on his Sony player.

Ah, so I did. My bad, apologies!! Must. Not. Read. Posts. In. Haste. :redface:

At the same time, what's with Sony and their proprietary cords?

It's all good man!

Come on, what's not to love about the proprietary plug. It's big and ugly. You get to spend an additional $30 or $20 for additional cables and adapters. You get to carry an additional cable, which, if you happen to forget to pack for your trip, you don't have to go through the hardship of listening to your favorite music. But at least you got your smartphone. But wait, you get to carry one more additional adapter, as the company wants to show the world that it is bold, by ditching the 3.5mm jack. It's all fun.

Here is something bizarre...

Using the Sony NWZ-A17 and the usb cable listed on Page 3 as not working:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YWEHSQY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

After an all night charge, using the above usb cable, the Mojo does not pick up the stream. No sound no light on the bit rate bulb (goes through all the colors, then click - OFF).

But, if I disconnect Sony and take the Mojo over to an optical out from another transport, it picks it up and we have sound.

Unplug optical and plug the Sony via the usb cable above, back in, and it does pick it up and works.

What the heck?

Did it sound good ?

Mojo DAC is more detailed than NWZ A-17.

Sony sounds great without Mojo and definitely has more details and clarity, with it.
cool, enjoy it !

But, EQ 'no worky' when streaming digitally from Sony NWZ-A17 and that stinks!
Yeah I EQ so connect Mojo to a phone and use 20 band eqs.

I am deciding between Chord Mojo and Fiio x7. Which one has better sound quality? To me others features don't matter. It will be my first audiophile grade device. I have Sennhieser HD555 headphones and I am planning to use Mojo with my Android phone.

I seem to remember the Sony NWZ-Axx get about seven or eight hours with the Mojo. I found it every odd since they are supposed to have excellent battery life by themselves. Just the way it works. You might find the info in post#3, or by searching the thread using the search tool.

Has anyone tried to connect the Fiio X7 to the Mojo via otg usb mini cable? Does it work?
