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

Weird, I ordered earlier today stating it was AK100 (original) and Mojo and they despatched without asking for photos.
On basis others here already ordered measurement won't change.

The AK100 and 100II have the same measurements at the top of the dap for the sockets. Hopefully the 120 is the same.

I think you need the Apple CCK inline to get it working, at least from what I've read.

 
Hımm, I use 1meter standart lightning cable and OTG. I think I need to buy Apple CCK right?

CCK you mean rather than OTG??

 
No, not CCK just OTG cable. I use this : 
 
 

restart your phone and check if you have enough battery. Cck don't work when battery is too low.

 
I dont have Apple CCK cable but I try to restart but it doesn't work.

  Sys Concept cable
 

 

Nice! Looks like you went with the 5mm version versus the 2.2mm? I'll post some pics of the 2.2mm when I get the pieces all together sometime this week. Cheers

Apple CCK is a must unless you have a specialty cable with the Apple MFI chip inside.

Your connection should be this:

I notice most everyone has their dap and Mojo back to back but then you have no bumper feet on the Mojo if you lay it down on something. I prefer, since the balls used for volume and on and off are each to touch, to put the back of a dap to the top of the Mojo and that way the optical is very close and you have the bottom of the Mojo to any surface. Also all the connections on the back of the Mojo are faced the right direction. IMO I can see the notches on the Mojo are made so it would be back to back against a dap but I don't think this is the best way to use it as you can more easily scratch the top surface of the mojo.
 
Using some 24/96 via optical (Sysconcepts) and the AK100.

Same here. They said they knew that combo (AK100/Mojo) well and already had the measurements.

[COLOR=222222]thats the one same cable for all AK models fits my 100ii as well,just drop them an email they are very good.[/COLOR]

Why 5mm, what's wrong with 2mm cable? Using indoor only.

Only difference between the 5mm and the 2.2mm is that they strip off the additional shielding from the 5mm to make the 2.2mm. That's also why the 2.2 costs a bit more. I'm guessing some people either don't want to pay the extra $, like the look of the 5mm better or want it to be a bit more durable. I went with the 2.2mm to have the profile as slim as possible. No wrong answer IMO. Cheers

Can anyone in the US recommend some optical solutions to plug the Mojo into a AK120ii?

You can use Sysconcepts our of Canada. They have the measurements, use the 1300 fiber cable and make the cable right.

Not surprised. :wink_face:

 

[purdah]

Not surprised.

It is surprising considering that the Mojo was released after the closing of the nominations for the 2015 awards? Maybe they got bored of the current mid level DAC king, the Arcam IrDac?

Anyone hear the Mojo, he560 pairing?

Works well. Good acoustical feel and openness to the sound with very good layering and a taught bass line. Can go way too loud for me, so you are not driving near the end of the volume of the Mojo. It has the mojo.
