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

If you're familiar with the Hugo's soundstage, the Mojo shrinks it a bit in all directions: height, width and depth.
 
Presentation is still impressively layered, not flat.

I heard Hugo just once and I am not sure if I remember it right (yes, I was impressed but can't remember exactly why...)
 
Could anyone compare Mojo's soundstage to the one of HiFiMan HM-901 or iBasso DX100 / Hibino R10 ?

Just to be clear interference isn't device related, cables act as antenna if they are not properly shield they can cause issues. Now I am not sure whether Mojo has any way of countering it but simply put unshielded cables is antenna for picking up signals. 

I think you are right, and I would assume that the add-on device that moon audio was showing (the one where most of the cck cable is hidden in the metal add-on box) will resolve the issue. Would be nice if Chord could comment on this ... I know it was just a prototype so maybe shielding is something that can be added if it is not yet.

all in good time... things must be ready for release first, hth...

Andy idea where to get such a cable? Preferably a really short one. So basically this is just a 3.5mm mono to 3.5mm mono cable, if i Need to connect my ibasso dx90 with the Mojo? To be honest, i habe no clue about digital connections and wonder, that a mono Plug would work like that.

$0.83 from here:

Or

$75 from here (configure your jacks):

I make no assertions on whether you'll hear a difference.

Well that was this morning here, enjoyed seeing us blow them off the park. Not the proudest world cup for northern hemisphere rugby this one (Japan excluded, haha).

 
yup must admit England were pathetic & gutless, sad to see Wales go out yesterday to a piece of brilliance... what can you say about the All-Blacks 'expletive' awesome...

daps like fiio and ak stream only pcm. if someone want to stream dsd in dop thru these daps, foobar via a plugin can convert dsd files into a dop flacs which are played normally and recognized by Hugo and mojo as dsd. however dap itself will output noise thru its own headphone out. even optical input of Hugo and mojo should also work.

I guess I am buying the beers haha

To catch up, good that piercer agrees re the Layla / MoJo combination, means I'm neither insane nor deaf, doubly confirmed by the impressions vs AK380, which mirror my own compared to QP1R...

Looks like we are cut from the same cloth when it comes to what, and how we listen to / hear things.

One more suggestion for future releases: a "lock" switch to prevent volume changes while in a pocket would be nice for a mobile device.

Just to be clear to all who are possibly offended by improvement ideas: I own and love the Mojo

I just tested the MoJo with the iPhone 5s. No hiss, no interference, no clicks, beeps, bops, etc. Connected with the standard CCK to micro USB cable to MoJo. Tried browsing the web, texting, and even called myself from the land line (the phone rings through the MoJo - blew my ears out!). No noise.

Not sure what the differences are that others may be experiencing but this is my experience with the 5s and MoJo. Also, my X5 and X5ii DAPs are silent connected through coaxial to the MoJo.

I found it headphone dependant. Using my p7 I get no interference. Using acs I need airplane mode.

I imagine. I am using JH Angie.

Yup, as I mentioned a few posts / pages back, the bass adjustment box seems to suck up the RFI and spit it straight into the MoJo, bit of a pain, but I am using the MoJo no more than six inches away from my cell, and as long as that adjuster isn't in between the two all is good

I must have missed your post. So, I don't hear any noise/interference at all but you're saying with the bass attenuator near/between the MoJo and your smartphone you then hear noise. I'll have to test it with my iPhone 5s.

ONLY if the cell has a 2G signal, 3G/4G/LTE seem to be unaffected, those in the UK will know how often O2 sits on 2G, or even worse, Edge (I was bemused at the MoJo launch, in central London, O2 couldn't get out of Edge, frustrating!)

For the record, I know edge is multiple 2G instances, but how O2 have implemented it in the UK, it is good for nothing!

Ah! Now that makes sense.




Edit: Just tested with 2G and there's noise but at 3" from the MoJo it goes away. Long live DAPs!!

How about matching of Mojo and Dita ?
