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

[turkayguner]

I like my Mojo a lot, but the very short cable it comes with doesn't cut it. I'd prefer to have longer cables like those which come with the Hugo, one for power and another for connecting to the iPhone using the Apple CCK. I'd appreciate recommendations regarding where to get such cables.

Cable pack is quite a value if you can make use of all the stuff it comes with.

There is some useful information in the FAQ in post #3.

As much as I love Tidal and streaming in general what really grinds my gears is when an artist pulls the track from Tidal and I'm no longer able to listen to the track or album. This has happend to me multiple times with multiple artists so I might consider buying albums again.

Besides, 99% of the time local files on an SD card will sound better than those streamed. But the convenience and artist discovery features play a big role in my personal enjoyment.

I've really enjoyed Tidal over the last couple years and use it almost exclusively, but I'm excited about Qobuz coming stateside so I don't have to deal with MQA anymore.

Yes let’s put this train back on its tracks.

Apple charger apart, is still the Anker Powerport 5 the best charger for Mojo?

 

[jarnopp]

Definitely

Yep. I want to talk more about chargers and cables.

The best charger for Mojo would be something that can deliver a stable 2 amps from a well known brand. If you have modern smartphone then use the charger that came with that, Mojo wont draw more than 1.9A so 2/2.1/2.4 are all fine. The standard white plug that comes with iPhones is only 1A but iPads come with a 2.4 (I think) so bear that in mind.

With iPhone 6s charger, the Mojo it’s charging very slow.

I've had my powerport 5 for 5 years now and it's still going strong. Apple chargers used to crap out in 1-2 years for me. After I got the Anker, never used these bundle changers.
When it comes to Charging and battery products, Anker's quality is top-notch.
Powerport 6 (http://a.co/4624xxO) is cheaper than Powerport 5 , if you're buying now.

I'd like to replace the cable that came with the Mojo with a longer one, plus be able to charge at the same time. I don't need the full accessory pack, and am ok with using the Apple CCK.

Can I simply buy two of these USB 2.0 to micro-USB male-male cables, one for the digital data and another for charging?

And for the charger itself, one of these?

@Phronesis , Yes cables and charger are fine.

For use with CCK, check out this ultra-short one (for portable use) - http://a.co/7OlnXdj

I highly recommend you to charge the Mojo when it is not in use for the battery health.

Will do. Is there any issue with charging while using it?
