[Kakki]

John, Rob, thank you for your reply for the USB isolator.

Yes the Olimex is Class 1 USB device, so will not work on Class 2 USB such as Mojo and Hugo HD USB inputs.
 
I don't know of an inexpensive Class 2 USB galvanic isolator.

Oh, I was not aware of the Olimex limitation... thank you for your comment.
 
So could we expect to have a class 2 USB isolator will be prepared as one of the Mojo option in the future? 

I guess that will be a delight to those who are using their PC as the music source for Mojo / Hugo!!

  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

 
To be honest, Chord already has.  Inside the Mojo is an actual programmable processor, not only can programs run on it, the chip is a FPGA which allows Chord to change the processor.  I'm sure that it has a baseline EQ in the system.  The question should be if Chord will be willing to release a software to allow EQ to be set on a PC and import the settings into the Mojo.

A little OT but I'll say this: it is a pity that Shure is not collaborating with Chord on their KSE1500.  Imagine that the KSE1500 comes with a Chord Mojo as its DAC

Now that is an unusually provocative statement, have you seen an audiologist lately?

Excuse me? Don't speak to me like that. I don't know who you think you are. I'm sharing my experience.

Perhaps you can confirm more about your experience with the mojo, because to everyone else, as far as i am aware (and from personal experience when i accidentally put it into line level output mode), the mojo is capable of extreme levels of volume. Far more than is comfortable. I have hd580s which i think are not so dissimilar from yours, and the mojo can drive them with absolute ease. I read a review where someone drove big tannoy speakers direct from the mojo headphone socket (not that you would do this for very long, but it is certainly a party trick).

The problem is you are not sharing your experience. You asked a question without putting it into any context.

 

[jcoops16]

No ones asked for it yet, and why should they we're in the portable gear forum but I would love to see a Mojo TT.  I will probably never take my mojo out of the house as I just listen to podcasts when out and about. I find the mojo utterly amazing with all my headphones and would like to have it permanently hooked up to my PC and my amp and speakers.

Ahh, that old adage comes to mind: Please don't feed the troll.

Who is he? He's the founder, chief executive and senior designer of a hugely successful high-end audio company sharing his concern back with you based off of the experience you shared.

well it could been handled in a more diplomatic way, i did not like such answer, and i do not care if he is the president of the world. All epxeriences and feedbacks should be respected
 
well and to me owning a hugo in the past trying it with audeze lcd2 it sounded flat and boring and bassless there you have it
 
so if someone shares his experience of the mojo with his sennheisers then its his experience and we have to respect his opinion and move on

 

[highfell]

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.

My mojo sounds best with either Beyerdynamic T90s or Sennheiser 600HDs than the IEMs I have and also at a volume that is set at less than half way. So from my perspective what you are stating is laughable.

It doesn't matter who he is, when you mock someone and tell them to get there hearing tested basically, that's disrespect.

I'm a kickboxing champion, doesn't mean I can go around kicking people's heads off just to feel important.

do not bother yourself 
 
you are entitled what u perceived and experienced 

 

[emrelights1973]

although i enjoy my lcd2s with mojo i don't like to see "inappropriate comments" by Chord again..... they are representing a brand and a company...
 
maybe could be ok for us to ak if he is deaf but it is not ok for a company rep. to write a comment like that....
 
excellent product, rude people i guess...
