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

[goodvibes]

I wouldn't expect to discover much here other than a well laid out quality device. The dac is programmed into the SOC so about all we get is to see is which chips are used though mostly not discernable here. The chips are more about how used than what used anyway. I can't tell from the pic but the output may be discrete with 6 pin dual transistor packs. That said, the sound and usage capabilities is all that matters.

voided warranty ?

We've got you number Monika take a note !

There's much more to see under the board also JF

Hi,
Im in a bit of a dilemma and am hoping to find a solution here. Basically I am in confused whether I should get a mojo and pair it with my Samsung Note Edge as a DAC/AMP or get a QP1R as a standalone dap.

Results from my AK transport optical comparisons
 
All default EQs and  Optical input using the sys concept cable
 
All sound very good but these are differences
 
RWAK100 - thickish signature and heavier bass
RWAK120 - Similar to the RWAK100 but not as thick
AK240SS - tighter and better resolving all round, excellent micro detail
AK380 (Un Amped) - same as AK240SS but seems to be a little less bright - this is best for me so far (shame the stack fit is the worst)
 
For my ears and IMO -I rank the AK transport purley on SQ - based on default EQ and optical input as
 
Preferred
AK380 (Un Amped)
AK240SS
RWAK100
RWAK120
Least prefered
 
YMMV
 
Just goes to show the ones and zeros are sent in different orders effecting the signatures
 
Update - they were all on different firmwares - when they were on the same versions differences were negligble

Still not all music player app are written alike. Not to mentioned the underlying platform. Android has an audio subsystem. How it interacts or affect the digital signal may or may not have any audible impact. But, if there are any difference it not be as huge as the difference between 2 DACs or 2 amps.

UAPP bypasses Androids audio framework, that's why connected DACs show the correct sample rates for file playback, rather than 48k like other players will in Android devices without specific USB audio support (such as some of the Sony's have had).

this will probably be seen as a tad biased but I'd heartily recommend the Mojo, hth...

JF doesn't want to void his Mojo's warranty...

Either that or JF doesn't want to get in trouble with the boss

 
 
 
Oh, wait a minute....

No it's fine to leave it plugged in all the time but if your charging from an unplugged lap top you may drain the lap tops batteries. But if your using just the data USB connection ithe mojo takes no power from the connected device. John F.

 
Thanks for the info. In my case a good portion of the time I would be stationary at my desk so I'd keep the Mojo connected to my laptop via the data and the charging USB connected to the wall. Moving around the house and for portable I'd probably end up using my Note 4.
