.Hello. Does anybody have tried this external PSU. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152000419424
Does it really improves the sound greatly?
Or any other suggestions about external PSU for a home use?
Thanks in advance.
I cannot stress more firmly than this. I'm sorry for this my next response! Please do not use these external power supplies. If you do you maybe risking seriously damaging your Chord units and it will be on our shoulders to repair the mess they've caused. Companies that make these products are often not capable of analysing what they trying to achieve. Also the Companies producing these units will often propose that their power supplies can improve the performance of chords designs which is total nonsense. Therefore we strongly recomend you save your money and disregard the complete twaddle put about by these companies. After all had their engineering capabilities been good enough they would be producing complete products rather than just parisitising ours. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm annoyed it's because I am!
Mojo is designed in accordance with the USB specs, which would be 5v.
However, it is not necessary to use a fancy power supply with Mojo, and the owner of Chord Electronics advises against it. Although I should clarify that John Franks was not explicitly discussing the LPS-1, it would still be wise to heed the following:
If you choose to ignore this advice, it is at your own risk, and could invalidate your Mojo warranty.
After some weeks, maybe two months with Mojo, that's my feedback:
IN THE MAIN SPEAKERS RIG
Excellent performer, I sold my previous desktop DAC for the Mojo. Even it's not confortable for a stable use, the SQ is far better to every DAC I ever had. Dynamics are astonishing, the control of the bottom end is like I have a software of room correction without having one.
FOR HEADPHONE DAC/AMP
I dislike the pair with HD 650, I liked more the pair with AQ NightHawks and now I enjoy it VERY MUCH paired with my new AEON Flow Open. Everything is bold and well filled, detailed, musical.
So, is the conclusion really that you don’t like the HD650s that much?
Maybe a very dumb question, how can you connect your mojo to desktop amp?After some weeks, maybe two months with Mojo, that's my feedback:

3.5mm Male to 2RCA Male?
I just wonder if I do that amp will loss some sound quality, correct me if I am wrong.
I also think mojo is too good to be true I may purchase another one as desktop dac, however, lack of other connection always hesitate me.
For me there is absolutely no comparison to my standalone home DAC. I admit though as a portable device for this cheap mojo is just amazing, but I prefer four digits gear.After some weeks, maybe two months with Mojo, that's my feedback:

That's exactly what I do. Just get a reasonably good quality cable that splits the 3.5mm plug into L & R RCA plugs if your amp has RCA inputs. The Mojo make's a great DAC for home use with external amps IMO. When turning on your mojo with an external amp just hold down the volume up and down buttons and it will be preset to 3 Volts line out. If you need to reduce it just click down. 4 clicks down = 1.9 volts.
It pains me to say this, but I am definitely thinking of selling my MOJO before it dies... If the company is bragging about a 10 year life expectancy it should offer a 10 year warranty on the battery. Otherwise it should apologize for that claim and provide REAL information.
This is becoming a regular occurance.
How many have actually reported battery issues after 6 months or more of regular usage (i.e., battery issue not manifesting itself right out of the box)? Is this really a reliability issue inside of three years for those with regular usage, or is this just a few pre-mature failures for some unlucky customers?
