By the way, a proper HD 800 successor is in the works. My friend linked me to a photo of it.

Care to share?

During the last year Thanksgiving sale, I have got LCD-2. With Mojo, they sound weak. Sounds like they are not playing with full potential. Is it an issue with Mojo (can't power LCD-2) or my set of LCD-2 got some issues?

I should have asked my friend for the source, because I just realized that it's actually the KuruDa KD-P1, which is a $5,000 Japanese headphone that merely resembles the HD 800. (My bad, and sorry for the off-topic.)

What do you mean by weak? My LCD-2F got very loud very quickly with the Mojo and I had no serious issues with the sound.

i tried with the cable supplied and when i compared to my beyers jack which nicely clicks into place the flow's one just would not. i'm not risking it. anyhow the flow after 3 hours on myhead is just not the comfort fit i wanted. they look stunning and even from my imac sounded great. shame really. i hope mr sony brings me luck. just a TOTL headphone needed to complete this episode.

for iqbalsh have you tried charging the phone whilst simultaneously listening to music?

Sorry for the late reply, yes tried charging the IPhone while listening to music through the mojo. My experience was that I get interference from the mobile signal, flight mode should fix that

Pictures did make me think of a very open back Focal Utopia.

There's a difference between properly driven or controlled and loud. Even with iSine20, only DAP I found to drive it well was Lotoo PAW Gold. You can tell the differences in how different sources drive the transducers, and unfortunately coherency can be effected if not properly driven, and planars can sound shouty or hollow although I haven't experienced with with M1060 which is well controlled by Mojo, but the sound can be refined by better sources I realized.

As for that Kuruda, looking at how open they are, they probably do not run into headphone inner space container sound effects that headphones have. I recently noticed this comparing to speakers. In ways I like the direct sound feed of headphones compared to speakers(which helps in hearing better details), but there are the benefits of how open the speakers are with definition and tonality.

Yes, but Chord and many of their owners would contend that they are being properly driven by the Mojo, Hugo, etc. Here's a good post relating to that:

I still just can get anything to recognize my mojo.... Idk what's going on... Desperate... I don have any warranty, how can I fix myself?

 

[musickid]

Just send it in for repair. Chances are it is something simple, like a bad connection.

No warranty? Did you buy second hand? If that's the case, if you bought from a friend, have them send it back for you under warranty. Or does anyone know if Chord would repair for a price?

Yes, of course Chord supports it's products and will repair for a price.

It kind of makes me sad that you asked that question though. It seems like we have been trained to discard/dispose of products and that there is no point in repairing anything because the next great thing is here, or just around the corner.

Well there are some companies who leave second hand or grey market buyers on their own. I've seen it happen too many times, so unfortunately I ask, no matter who the company is.

Mojo power button lights up red when I connect via otg to a smartphone/pc. But after a few minutes (while no music ever plays) the power button shuts off(no color) but volume buttons are still on. Cannot play any music....

Once I hooked up a bad otg cable to it ever since it doesn't start any music with good working otg cables.... I'm desperate as it was my sole dac/amp. Music is lifeless... It's pathetic how dependent I have become to mojo
