@turkayguner, thanks for the response. if you would have listened , you would agree that there is plenty of drive and dynamics Hugo has. for those who can't afford Dave or Hugo 2, original Hugo is still has a reason to continue . I believe if the system is set properly ( specially the speakers) the sound is like the performance in that room itself , whatever are the room acoustics and that's what I experience in my untreated room. it's like listening to a person talking in that room. also the reason for wider than natural sound in the video is the mic placement in Olympus LS 100.

That's lovely n' all, but this is the Mojo thread...

Still around 8hrs from a full charge. By chance have you had yours plugged in constantly?

Yes indeed. It is plugged in 95%+ of the time. Is that the culprit?

Lithium batteries survive best when cool and at about 65% charged. They deteriorate more rapidly when hot and either fully charged or flat.

It happened to me as well last year. Chord said it is ok to keep Mojo plugged in 24/7, so I did that. (95% desktop use.) After 8-10 months with my first Mojo I experienced the same problem, battery didn't last longer than 2 hrs anymore. Chord has replaced my unit under warranty. I have been using my second Mojo for half a year now, mostly on battery to avoid another battery failure. It runs around 8 hrs.

I don't know, mine was plugged in 24/7 for a long time and I'm still getting 9hours...

 

[SomeGuyDude]

How has the battery life held up for you guys? Mine seems to be unable to reach past a 2hrs on a charge and I've had it for about 1yr.

I'm not sure, but I do know that I can usually get 2-3 days on mine with a couple hours a day. Then again I've only let the battery die once or twice.

Has anyone tried Chord Mojo with RHA MA750?

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Mojo replaced my whole desktop rig. I might have to consider an external amp if I get LCD-3s, but so far I'm satisfied.

Get an LCD-X, won't need another amp. And the X (IMO) sounds better.

Lmao...

I'm tired of my mojo dropping out w my iPod...crazy frustrating. Even did the most recent apple iOS update that was supposed to fix things...slightest touch on cck and often a disconnection and 'this device not compatible' or something...arrgh.....so am going to sell it with the extender kit.

So please feel free to shoot me ideas for a DAP replacement in the $1000 ish range ...I'm thinking of the ibasso dX200 or something else...I do a lot of streaming with Tidal, using offline downloads.

If you're feeling brave then the iOS 11 public beta is now out - you could try it, and if it doesn't work out for you then you can still roll back - the caveat being that you'd need to reload all the data and apps again if you do roll back.

With reference to bold part in the quote, it does seem to me that in your case you may well have an intermittent connection problem somewhere in the chain, rather than it being an issue with the software.

So try another cck cable...to play it safe.i was considering that too

Not only that, but try a different USB cable as well. I have an audio interface on my computer which is connected via a USB hub, and if I touch the cable it loses connection. Most of the time it's not a problem, but I do need to get around to replacing the hub and/or USB cable.

Thanks...have any in mind? I do use the mojo extender module.

Yeah - that's a point, I hadn't figured the extender module into this. Ok, simply for diagnostic purposes I'd temporarily remove the extender module and connect the CCK to a USB cable (any functioning one will work for a test) and then the USB cable into the Mojo to see if that eliminates the problem. If not then the CCK is the next suspect.

Basically it's a process of elimination.

I had something similar but it seems to stem from my iPhone. I used it with the mojo and dragonfly dac. I found some lint in the lightning port which helped after I removed it.
