  it's awesome! Believe the hype, it's ground breaking miracle - wipes the floor with any device in it's price range that I've heard, or higher. I've commented on it's sound in past posts in this thread

When will this thread slow down. 
 
Is hard to keep up.

Cut the hype guys and give us real impressions! Over 60 pages, 5 days of using Mojo and not even one post about how it sounds, just hype. That's starting to be suspicious, don't You think?

There's more "awesomeness" here than on Apple keynotes

It hasn't been out long enough to form concrete opinions, any reviewer worth their salt would allow at least a week to get used to their new device

Those reviews will be coming - soon enough

How close in % does the Mojo gets to the Hugo's sound quality? I think that even  if it's 90% i will be happy .

very curious as to how you quantify the percentage

To some on this thread the two are inseparable sonically some say its more musical some say its more bass light. If you have an opportunity to audition it for yourself i think that would be best. One thing is known for sure is that it is fantastic especially given the price its asking.

The table is brilliantly printed on the box itself.

You need to set the sample rate manually in the midi controller app in OSX, or use a third party program that will pass along the sample rate from the track in mixed sample rate libraries. I use Audirvana+.

Not sure if Tidal has the option to pass the sample rate information independent of the midi output settings.

Thanks, I did this and the highest I could set the mojo was 768000hz 2ch 32 bit.

Apologies if this has been discussed earlier, I'm about 25 pages behind, quick moving thread!

I fell asleep listening with Hugo last night. Remember waking up and taking IEMs out.

Just tried listening and it's switching off after a few seconds. I'm hoping it has no auto shutdown and is like Hugo, needs physical shutdown?

$0.83 from here:

Or

$75 from here (configure your jacks):

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

Yeah, that's the comparison I've been making as well. I know that Drew's cables will be very well made, with good connectors, very well done terminations and good shielding, especially since he's using real RG179 coax cable that's 75 Ohm. The thing I fear with the cheapo cables is how well they'll be shielded, especially given the interference issues some have noticed. Then I also wonder if the 75 Ohm coax will make a difference in SQ. Any and all thoughts and input greatly appreciated. I've also reached out and asked Drew directly (both because it's his cable and also since he has first-hand experience with the Mojo) and will let you know what he says. Cheers

Did anyone film the Mojo launch at The Shard, it would be nice to have some narrative to go with the slides?

 

[musicheaven]

Glad you're the one who started the thread. 

 
It's certainly a worthwhile offering. I've had my eyes on the Hugo for a long time but the entry price was the thing that got me waiting however with this new entry, I don't think it's the same anymore. Portable DAC/Amp is my weakness and until this device came to the consumer world, I did not think we could literally see something of that size being so similar to the Hugo. It's quite refreshing and they have definitively raised the bar quite high. It'll be hard to have another contender beating this one. I have inquired about it from a close by supplier, hoping to own one hopefully soon. I am wondering if a balanced version would be in their cards? On another note, I have heard that they might be offering accessories along the lines of plug-able modules of different kinds. Have you heard the same or otherwise?

Mojo has landed​

 ​

 ​

 ​

 ​

​

 
 
 
 

 ​

 ​

Chord Electronics, a world leader in digital audio, has launched Mojo.​

 ​

A contraction of ‘Mobile Joy’, Mojo is a headphone amplifier and DAC (digital-to-analogue convertor) that empowers smartphones to deliver music content at up to studio-master-tape quality.  ​

 ​

 ​

 ​

 ​

​

 
 

 ​

 

Low-cost, widely available apps, such as Onkyo’s HF player (iOS and Android), now make high-resolution music files playback easy from all smartphones. Mojo connects to these devices digitally, processing the files using the most advanced conversion technology available, to deliver genuinely unrivalled sound quality to up to two pairs of headphones (You can use any pair of headphones with Mojo, from 4Ω to 800Ω).​

 ​

​

 

 ​

 ​

Mojo has three digital inputs; Micro USB, optical, and Coax, and has been designed to work with your iPhone, iPad, Android phone (USB OTG), Android tablet (USB OTG), Windows phone, Windows tablet, Mac, PC, and Linux computer.​

 ​

​

 
 
 

Despite Mojos ultra compact form, Mojo takes just four hours to fully charge and can deliver up to ten hours continuous use. But, thanks to Mojos separate Micro USB charging port, you can play and charge at the same time. External power banks can be used to charge Mojo on the move so long as they have a 1 amp output.​

 ​

 ​

 ​

 ​

Mojo is capable of playing all of today’s music formats, including the very latest high-resolution standards. It can deliver breath-taking realism from any digital music file: PCM; WAV; AAC; AIFF; MP3 and FLAC. It is designed to work with all smartphones and music players and covers specialist high-resolution formats such as DoP DSD files: DSD 64; DSD 128 and DSD 256. Mojo’s three high-resolution digital input options comprise optical (to 192kHz), plus Micro USB and RCA (mini-jack) which operate at up to an incredible 768kHz. ​

 ​

Mojo is entirely designed and manufactured in England.​

 ​

UK RRP: £399​

US RRP: $599​

 ​

 ​

 ​

Technical specification ​

 ​

Mojo uses the latest Xilinx Artix 7 FPGA​

Why would you do this for tidal which is limited to AFAIK 16/44,100?

That is like using a swimming pool to have a bath...

 

[Mython]

  How about matching of Mojo and Dita ?

 
I can tell you what that looks like!

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...

 

Come on mate, who cares about rugby? Football is what matters. You won all 10 matches in group stage of EURO 2016 and were the best team of that stage. We, as luck would have it (seriously it was sheer luck), finished the group stage as the best 3rd team so we also directly qualified to EURO 2016.

RedJohn456: I pinged Fiio, and yes the Fiio micro USB -> Lightning cable that makes CCK unnecessary exists but is pending Apple's MFi certification. This would be an awesome one-cable solution for Mojo and other portable DAC owners. Hopefully it gets certified, so we can buy it!
