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

[micropixel]

The Mojo manual recommends a least a 1 Amp charger. Can you charge the Mojo with a 2 Amp iPod charger (apart from the cable of course)? Or is 1 Amp the maximum? Sorry, I'm not a physicist or an electrian.... So I have no clue.

I use my charger which gives 2.1 amp and it works fine. As far as I understand and remember reading, there is no issue using a charger with higher current (amp) as the device being charged will draw only what it needs and designed to. I have stuck to this principle for all my new devices and so far nothing is fried yet!

Tony, never give up as this is Head-Fi, the home of the work around. There is a one cable solution. Just connect the Apple Camera connector (CCK) to a USB A to Micro B adapter as shown in the picture.

Wouldn't fancy having that plugged into my Mojo, any pressure on the fat end would damage the usb port or worse snap off in the port. Let's hope Konstantin comes up with a solution. Is it IOS 9.1 or the Onkyo HF app that's the issue ?

I agree. I am very careful with cable so as not to damage the USB port and found the smallest adapter to lessen the strain when connecting my iPod Touch to the Mojo.

As to what is the issue, it is iOS 9.1 because I also use the app Tuneshell and iTunes for my 16/44 music and Onkyo only for higher resolution and none work with Konstantin's cable. He is great and honest vendor. He emailed me before he shipped the cable last week from Latvia and offered a full refund but I wanted to give it a try.

Edit: I too hope Konstantin or Fiio with its L19 cable come up with a better one cable solution.

  Does anyone know if the headphone socket on the new Macbook MJY42B/A also outputs a digital signal like the Macbook Pro ? In this case Google is not my friend, can't find a definitive answer anywhere. Might have to make a trip to the Applestore armed with a Mojo.

Looking at specs of my Macbook Pro it would appear that the new slimline Macbook does not have a line out function so would need a USB C - USB adapter and rule out optical.

Will try the Mojo at the Applestore or John Lewis to find out for sure

Good news to our Android and Tidal users, it appears the latest update of UAPP now supports Tidal.

Nice! Just saw that and was about to post. Will try it out later.

 6 sold, people have truly lost their minds. 

It was actually 69 pounds, when they bought it. @lavricables hiked the price to stop people from ordering. I think he had too much order backlog.

Lol, well that restores some faith.

Tidal working fine in UAPP, although does not seem to support offline music.

What are you doing to get it to work?

Edit: sorted.

Tidal works fine without any additional apps on the LG G4, however the volume control of the phone still works, in Onkyo HF player it's disabled / has a disable option so I presume this app is needed with certain phones and not others ? I know for example the Samsung S6 didn't work with the Oppo HA-2 which is why I went for the LG.

Depends on the phone, almost all that support USB OTG will be able to work with UAPP even if the phone doesn't otherwise support it. UAPP also won't mess with bit rate and so forth, unlike native Android USB audio implementations. UAPP also allows for hardware volume control, for example letting you control the DF 1.2 amp, which otherwise outputs a fixed volume with Android devices.

Thanks for the explanation, i'll give it a try. Since "upgrading" Onkyo HF player to the full version i'm getting some pops and clicks, hopefully this might solve it.

UAPP has several options for addressing problems in playback, the dev is responsive too and you can create logs of app activity to send to them - they have updated the app several times with specific fixes for particular DACs. Hiby Music is the other one with its own USB audio drivers, it's free and might be worth trying too (with my P8max none of UAPPs troubleshooting options work with the Geek Out V2, but Hiby works - the P8Max seems to be more problematic with USB audio than other devices I've tried before).
