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

[KT66]

New boxes everywhere at Kt66 towers.

Will try Mojo with Windows 8.1 phone and new Sony Z5 I got today.

Sorry to be so lazy but can someone point me to cables that can connect phones to Mojo, both have micro USB.

Might also try with Nokia N8(symbian) for a laugh it's still the best sounding phone I have heard

My latest report on the battery life is 7 1/2 hours, its better, but by now I should be getting 10 or more.
Did you guys get 10 hours straight from first couple of charges or was it less initially. Should I now charge it for 10 hours or just until light goes off?

Don't bother with WP 8.1, no USB device support there.

Might work with the N8, I've used a few DACs with the 808.

i challenge anybody to do a blind test of the 120 to the 240 as a transport and identify any differences beyond a faulty connection etc...i have both and there is not a scintilla of difference and if there is i cannot hear it..... the discussion is moot because anyone who would purchase a 240 to use solely as a transport rather than a used 100 or 120 has too much money!......i am one who is called crazy by my girlfriend for constantly buying the latest and greatest but in this case it is simply silly

my volume control works on my S6 edge when feeding the mojo... this tells me that it's still not a "pure" signal so I don't think that USB is your panacea either. Plus it adds interference from the radio!

 
Why would it be bad that the volume on your phone affects the Mojo? Isn't that what Chord intended?

It's not bad, despite continued assertions here in this thread that it indicates "impurity" of the audio signal.

Ok, just trying the Mojo with the Sony Xperia Z5 Compact. It worked after I switched off a setting in USB options for installing software when connected. The Sony Music app works ok, but increasing the phone volume also increases the Mojo volume. Switch to UAPP and the phone volume does nothing anymore.

I have also tried the Huawei G8 which worked perfectly.

The iPhone 6S Plus naturally works fine. I use Onkyo HF Player on iOS.

No interference on any of the above phones.

Hows this compare to Alo continental dual mono?

correct! Which is what the guys were chasing a pure signal, and I was sprinting out that the volume working shows it is interpreting the data before they drew the wrong conclusion. I'm already bored of getting attacked every time I try to help!

Which are you referring to as "interpreting the data", dac or phone? You're wording is a bit confusing here. = P

coax cable. It comes in the box when you buy DX90.

Are we talking about this cable?

If yes, which end connects to the DX90? The 3.5mm mono plug?

Motorola X Force is coming to UK.That should pair really well with Mojo in a smaller form factor:http://m.gsmarena.com/moto_x_force_gets_official_as_the_international_version_of_the_droid_turbo_2-news-14734.php

Did anyone have issues with the volume buttons? My unit has issues with the volume down button: When pressing it nothing happens after the "click" down, I need to apply more pressure after clicking to lower the volume. Volume up button still works as before, i.e. each click changes the volume. Written to Chord and they told me to go to the distributor (Custom Cable in my case). Distributor told me to wait for the next shipment so a swap can be arranged.
 
Those buttons add character but not sure they have been tested for thousands of clicks, wish it was a more traditional rotary volume control like on the Hugo or millions of other volumes knobs. And I wish there was a "Hold Button" to stop the device from accidentally turning itself on or off. It is a mobile device, not table top, those buttons are in pockets..
 
I mean the sound blows your mind, I would not go back to an Oppo HA-2 because of these design quirks (or faults), but I really wished Chord had the experience of a high-volume producer like an Oppo. Appreciate the made in England label, but it needs to be made as good outside as the clear jewel it is inside. 
 
OK, just to be sure no one gets too offended: I will keep it and I will use it. But I look forward to the Mojo Mark II. Above design suggestions are free dear Chord

Good question. I'll be looking at this soon. Cheers
