According to a few others here, if you want to use Mojo forpermanent desktop use, you can apparently remove the battery entirely and leave Mojo plugged in all the time and, I presume, on all th time. I intend to do this myself soon.
I did this several months ago. As a desktop DAC/Amp without battery it runs much cooler and works very well for me.

The Mojo is just very refined and natural. Even my previous Sennheiser HD 579, which had stronger than neutral bass and rolled of highs, sounded very tight and articulate in the bass and had great clarity through the Mojo.

My previous Geek Out 450 was actually ''brighter'' (and a lot harsher, less refined less of everything) than the Mojo, but strangely not as clear.. This is due to the way higher resolution of the Mojo

On radar for a portable DAC/amp that can make my earphones sound good on the go. Currently interested by the Fiio Q5, the ifi xDSD or xCAN (still don't know the difference yet), and this. I'm not sure if bluetooth is really important, I'm fine to use an OTG as long as it works with my Oneplus 6t. But bluetooth does seem convenient in many ways. Any suggestions?

I wish Mojo 2 have one 6,3mm socket and one of 3,5mm; I hate the 6,3mm to 3,5mm adapters.

A balanced socket would enhance the sound quality also.

Actually, not. The Chord is not a balanced DAC so it would only add more noise and circuitry.

Here's more from Chord on that:

The primary reason many Dacs have a balanced internal topology is try to overcome switching noise that has been induced into the Dac chips substrate. Balanced circuitry though causes other distortions that should be avoided. Chord Dacs have no substrate switching noise because the switching elements are seperated from the FPGA and more importantly from the analogue circuitry. So because we don't use standard Dac chips that can suffer from these problems. Therefore we do not have no need to used a balanced internal topology so we don't!
