But i am using Digitally Imported internet radio which is supposed to be 320k mp3 during a trial period.

Finally got my Mojo "pimped up" and working exactly as needed without RF interference from streaming over wifi or cellular.

Best portable setup I ever had. Slightly less ergonomic than the Sony ZX2 I used but combining the Mojo with a Z5 mini works great, and the battery life on the Sony set to Stamina mode is great lasting twice as long as the Mojo itself and minimal power drop in standby mode. Also 32GB plus 256GB SD capacity. Z5 is used purely as a source for the Mojo, not as a phone.

Small 7CM USB OTG cable that I fitted a custom ferrite ring around with heat wrap plus thin iron sheet in back of case which together totally eliminate any RF interference I was getting. Only reason I might change now depends on what the Chord Mojo SD adapter ends up being, but unlikely to allow streamed media like a phone.




Custom cut carbon fibre effect vinyl to give some scratch protection, ferrite ring around cable



Piece of thin iron sheet in back of case

I don't understand... How do I make it RF free

Im sorry to hear that. What should be realised is that an anodised surface is porous at the micro scale and still chemically reactive. Therefore it's quite possible that the sulphur or another chemical in those particular rubber bands were out gassing and they've chemically altered the structure of the anodising in some way. We did test our bands and they seemed to be fine though I wouldn't guarantee that over s long period.

Thank you, John, for replying to my inquiry. Funny how something so innocuous as rubber bands can have such an effect. I'm glad I decided to stop using them after a month or else the markings may have been even more noticeable.

  Penon Audio now gives L-Shaped plug and Straight plug option for the Lightning to Micro USB Hugo/Mojo/PHA DAC Pure Silver Decoding Cable:

Anyone already ordered/tried the L-Shaped execution?
 
Was about to order the "standard Straight plug" execution today (thnx to a lot of recommendations here on head-fi!) and then I noticed the L-Shaped option.. now I don't know what to do again. 

I'm interested in the 10cm silver micro USB to micro USB OTG listed here. In the pictures of it they show a right angle version which would be perfect for my setup, and hopefully better than the $6 like cable I bought off eBay.
 
The option for right angle isn't present when adding to the cart, so I messaged the site about purchasing the right angle version. I'll follow up when I hear back ...

I have this cable, offers a reassuring build quality for the price, length is perfect aswell for me to stack. Cable fairly thick and sturdy, both connections seem well constructed also. Hope this helps

Thank you for your reply. I'm getting one but I hope I can order the right angle version.

Lol!
Blue balls mean 3V (line level) according to the manual. According to the Stereophile's measurements Mojo doesn't clip until 4.8V.

This means you have more than enough headroom left.
Just FYI - Mojo can drive Audeze's LCD-4 just fine.

Is there any new version of Chord mojo? My friend are going to buy 1 and he found option on a 2nd gen (new version).

Looks like the Chinese counterfeit artists jumped the shark this time. There's no Mojo MK II yet
