A balanced socket would enhance the sound quality also.

This has been debated before on the thread. The Mojo was designed to be a mobile form factor. There is not enough room on the circuit board to add all the extra components and sockets that you want, and then use the Mojo sized case.

It was also made clear that a balanced socket would be pointless. As the function of a balanced socket is to fix an issue that Chord DACs do not have.

Hi guys. I've seen people use Mojo as 24/7 desktop DAC by disconnecting the battery from the main board just fine. But I can't seem to make it work. It just shuts down after a brief initialization period during the boot up. Any clue?

Make sure you have more than 1 amp from the USB source feeding the Mojo? Just a guess.

I connect the USB charge port to Anker USB charger and another USB input to my PC. It's been working perfectly.

I tested 3 phone chargers already, nothings working. The one what comes with my Samsung S7, Huawei P10 and Xiaomi Poco F1, none of them worked. You think it's the USB cable?

All the chargers puts out at least 1A, that probably wasn't it. The Mojo works fine with battery connected to it.

Maybe something to do with if you have an old model mojo? i had newer revision mojo this year that has auto shut off on usb but my mojo purchased at release date did not.

Dangit, didn't realize Mojo has different revision releases. It was purchased in 2015 IIRC.

Neither did i but this was my latest (early 2018) as you can see it says ISSUE4.

Mine says "MOJO_ISSUE2 1/8/15". So does this mean I can't use mine as a standalone DAC (without battery attached to it)?

I dont know im just guessing it may be the reason. you should send a message to Rob Watts.

Thanks. I'll send an email to Chord.

My Mojo is also an old model purchased about 2 or 3 years ago. You may try other USB cables and see if it works.

Using it without a battery is not a tested mode of operation, nor was it a design specification. So although every one I have tried will work that way, it's certainly not an official mode of use, so we can't guarantee the operation that way.

The issue numbers are for relatively small things, and should not affect this.

All of these are some sort of "Quick Charge" power bricks. Please use any regular usb power adapters (5V ouptut only), like apple's iPad Charger or Anker Powerport 2/5 etc.
