I never put a thought to clean an amp.

I never put a thought to clean an amp.

Fingerprints and dust are all over the balls. Would like to know a proper soul union to clean them.

I believe if you open it up, you can take the glass balls out to clean them properly. ^^

They add value - they are like the patina on an antique.

Anyone giving/receiving Mojo(s) this Christmas?

 

[miketlse]

Before I forget,
 
A happy Christmas to you all, and enjoy the music.

Is it just me or are here others thinking 'happy Christmas' sounds like an oxymoron

Anyway don't kill each other... it's over, soon.

Not me.
 
I will happily receive a Hugo/TT/DAVE, but the odds of me receiving one are somewhere between 0 and a negative number. 

 
Nevermind, we have CES to look forward to,

Yes, we have only the 12 days of Christmas to wait until CES.

(regarding the Mojo-iPhone combo):
 
1) Is there big differences between the connection you use?
 
-Penoaudio cable
-CCK-usb
-Mojo accessory adapter usb
 
2) Also, anywhere to get a circunvent cable like the Peno in Europe? (which works with iphone 7)
 
Thanks in advance.

Such as Cowon Plenue D

Found here
http://www.head-fi.org/t/784602/chord-mojo-the-official-thread-please-read-the-3rd-post/4275

But using the 3.5mm stereo cable via coaxial will work.

 
Mojo needs a digital signal to work. The connected DAP must be capable of sending digital signal out. Some DAPs do NOT send Digital Signal Out.

- Fiio X1, M3
- HiFiMan Players (Not 100% Sure)
- Lotoo PAW 5000, Gold (Not 100% Sure)
- Luxury & Precision L5

These DAPs CAN be used with the Mojo:

**Please let me know if anything needs correction.

 
Please if this post (http://www.head-fi.org/t/784602/chord-mojo-dac-amp-faq-in-3rd-post/19620#post_12706423
is not included in the first post, please could you add it.
 
I have looked to find it in post one but have not been successful.
 
Additionally I have seen a small player on Amazon for £60 and wondered it if will work with Mojo.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/MP3-Digital-Audio-Players/AGPtEK-IMP-class-Resolution-Music-Separate-controls/B0196GCGHI/ref=sr_1_84?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1482598426&sr=1-84&keywords=sony+walkman
It says it's a high resolution player but I can not see that in the specification. Either on Amazon or on the manufacturers website.
It does take SD cards.

OK - Thanks

I too find the Mojo to sound better disconnected from the charging cable (similar to the Macbook running of battery)
That said, I use the Mojo as my digital source directly into my power amp in my main system, and as such, leave it plugged into the charger (Apple 1A) continuously. I have found using an AQ Jitterbug on the charger USB to be an improvement, similar to but not as great as the Intona on the data line. For me the improvements are subtle but significant, others experiences will undoubtedly vary.

I had the opportunity to try out the new iDSD micro BL from ifi for a week. I was interested what the competion could do. The BL is more expensive than the Mojo - it does have analogue in , otherwise it's a dacamp. I spent half a day volume matching and recording 2 tracks on my AtoD ART Semi Pro recorder. The BL plays the track for 90 seconds then the same piece is replayed on the Mojo.  I won't reveal the results - you can listen for yourselves. PM me and I'll send you the links.
