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

[Currawong]

why didn't Chord put s more powerful amp in this thing so it can drive the HD650 etc

seems to be made for strictly IEM.

I'm listening with the HD-800s and it is driving them fine. What problem do you seem to be having?

Is that a serious question? 

 
I was wondering the same as you steve!

You should have your hearing tested. I'm not joking.

The mojo is driving my beyer t1's a 600ohm headphone really well to.

That's a good point!

Maybe driving acceptably but not amazingly as guys I had the Hugo before and with my audeze lcd2 the Hugo felt bassless so I would not find it strange that the mojo would not give a full bodied sound with full size headphones

I am done with buying any amp/dac that has no bass boost as its just too much to compromise in buying gears that u can not dial in the bass to your liking

Oh I forgot I am a basshead so deal with it and I am here on audiophile

LCD-2.2 works a treat with the Mojo. Really good body and nothing lacking with the pair.

Did u own the Hugo before so can I understand your impression is relying on having a Hugo to compare with

 

[x RELIC x]

Nope. I never mentioned the Hugo, but just responding to the comment that the Mojo may not drive full sized headphones well with full body.

Humm are u a bass lover or one of the gents who likes neutral

 

[Rob Watts]

The HD650 is 103dB 1mW 300 ohms. With Mojo's 5.3 V RMS into 300 ohms, that works out at 122 dB SPL.
 
Need ear defenders too!

I like realistic music. If the track is bass heavy I want to hear it. If I'm listening to acoustic guitar I need to know that there is weight as well as air from the strings. For reference I have a hard time getting along with the HD800.

In comparison to the DAC-19 feeding the HA-1 balanced to the LCD-2.2 the Mojo has remarkable driving power and doesn't sound thin in comparison.

Al respect rob I wish one day chord could give us basshead lovers a product that basshead would love like you give products that audiophiles love

As there are basshead audiophile out there why would you never add bass dials in your products

Ammara and Audivarna Plus have some very sophisticated EQ tools. I've adjusted all my gear towards this EQ 


Couldn't you do the same? That way the gear can be kept technically sound but the software can tweak it to your exact needs. Please give it a whirl and show us what your preferred signature is and I'd definitely like to take a glimpse into your world

yeah i like that software simply put i just raise 30hz by 5db, 63hz by 4db and lower 1khz by 1 db and raise 8khz by 1 db
 
thats it nothing complicated
 
i use that software when i am on my laptop but when i like to listen to music in my yard i use a transportable setup so no laptops with me
