Mython, I think it is time that Chord gave you a loaner of a Dave DAC for a few weeks (or maybe years) for services rendered way beyond reasonable expectation of any Head-Fi'er?
I understand your POV, but the 'simple' truth is that I can't possibly please everyone
What follows isn't me being stroppy or defensive - as I said, I can see your POV, so what follows is just by way of explanation:
It's simple to expect a 'simple' FAQ, but there are such a vast number of possible permutations, issues, configurations, technical queries, background technical information etc. that what one person would be satisfied with, hundreds of others would find lacking for their particular niche question(s). Mojo is a simple, and yet deceptively-complex, little beast, and it thoroughly deserves an in-depth knowledge-base for a wide range of people to be able to dip into.
Faced with such a vast quantity of information, I have had to try categorise it and sub-divide it, without diluting the depth of information. I can appreciate that that may seem daunting to some (especially if viewing on a smartphone), but I am unwilling to shortchange more technical users for the sake of a few who may find it daunting. Even those who find it daunting, can, if they are willing to invest a little patience, find most of the answers they need, if they carefully scan post #3, and then click on the spoilers headings that seem most relevant. They can also visit Chord Electronics' dedicated website: www.chordmojo.com/support/
Do I think post #3 is perfect? No, not by a long chalk. It will never be perfect, but it provides a wide array of information to help a wide array of Mojo customers, and wherever it may fall short, others will be happy to answer, here in the thread, and I will endeavour to add that to post #3, as time goes by.
I'm not suggesting anyone actually does this, but if one begins at the bottom of post #3, and works their way upwards, expanding every spoiler, and nested-spoiler, sequentially, you'll probably end up with well over 50 pages of information. That's a good & a bad thing, at the same time, but I won't throw away useful detailed information just for the sake of those unwilling to dig a little; sorry.
When you say that no one volunteers to be patient, I think you may be seeing people point to post #3, with good reason, if the information is indeed contained in post #3, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are being unhelpful.
Like it or not, there are a surprising number of people who, one after another, ask basic questions which have been patiently answered many tens of times (or more) in the thread, and included in post #3 for many months, just sitting there, helpfully waiting to be read. Perhaps not formatted in a way that suits your preferences, but nevertheless openly available to anyone who reads the clear thread title and uses a little initiative before jumping into the thread and posting a question.
Where there are more technical questions that may slip in between the cracks of the knowledge-base in post #3, there are quite a number of people only too willing to assist, on a daily basis. I'm sure you know this - I've seen you post, sporadically, in this thread, for quite some time, now, so you will have seen a lot of informative answers posted by people (x RELIC x, in particular, has really stepped up to the plate, in recent months).
So... no hard feelings, but as xtr4 mentioned, I, too, will have to amicably agree to disagree with you.
You are most welcome to add information that you consider useful, to the Head-fi FAQ which I've linked at the top of post #3, since it is open to contributions from all head-fiers:

Like I said, it's your call since it's your own post. It was a just a suggestion.

As a delighted new Mojo owner, post #3 was invaluable and indispensible in my research process and in figuring out how to make this little thing work with everything else it needs to work it (also damn entertaining). I sincerely appreciate having things curated and presented in one place, and not having to rely on search to find these things. Thank you and everyone for the amazing of work that has obviously gone into it, for something that is clearly a pay it forward exercise.
Now I get to work through the FAQ!
