JF here thought I'd just chime in here the battery is perfectly safe right up to 160 degrees Centigrade we had it made that way and its costs more than other batteries. The case of the mojo when it's charging has to shed about 1. 7 watts of heat it can only do that by radiating it away or convecting it away. If it's in a warm environment or it can't covect its heat away it's temperature will rise until there is a sufficient temperature differential to shed its heat. It's perfectly safe we have three indepentdant thermal temperature safety shut down method in mojo so please don't worry we know what we are doing. Remember a really hot cup of tea is usually only about 60 degrees C.

Keep him away from my 'chopper', or I'm in severe danger of losing my 'Mojo'!

  i know my setup to some might not be ideal
 
but its an amazing sound i am hearing
 
note 3 ---- mojo---- alo mk3 B--- oppo pm1 
 
i am in  sound nirvana now that i never ever experienced before
 
and to anyone that might have read my complains about the lcd2 and bass and musicality, got solved with the oppo pm1 which is one of the best heapdhones i ever heard.
 
i auditioned the following
 
hifiman he1000
lcd3
lcd4
nighthawk
hifiman 560
oppo pm2
oppo pm3
 
and oppo pm1 won by miles in regards to the amazing sound signature i am getting that is exactly the sound sig in a headphone i was after, it really makes me speechless what i hear
 
this oppo pm1 is so so so so so dam great, it was an instant decision after all the others mentioned above
 
what oppo pm1 achieved is beyond my description in means of a package sound signature that is musical and enjoyable and amazing
 
and for anyone who might ask why not pm2 well it distorted easily when i go crazy with bass boosting while pm1 handles eq so dam well with no distortions or rattling
 
finally i sold my lcd2, ifi micro dsd and ak100ii
 
so now i am left with ak380 and amp for iems and the above setup for my oppo pm1
 
i really wish many can audition the oppo pm1 it is so dam good 

 
Have you tried the hd650? how does it compare to it, which has better mids?
 
also, what cable do you use with it

I'd be a little worried about how regular use as a desktop dac would affect the battery life. I would not want to keep topping it off but that might be unavoidable with desktop use.

Heat only is a problem when there is inadequate ventilation resulting in above intended operating temp ranges. Electronics getting warm does not always mean something bad is going on...

 
I figured if people are going to use the Mojo mainly as a desktop DAC, then fit a small heatsink. Maplin or ebay, and get a thermal pad.

yep.
 
Suggested weeks ago, and I agree, but, strangely, I've yet to see anyone actually do it

1,Should I buy mojo even if mostly I want to use it just as an amp, or I should rather find a similarly priced 'only' amp (not a DAC/amp)?

2,Also, I mostly listen to different electronic music genres, where layering is very complex, with many details even in bass region. I am sure, mojo would give enough details and refinement, but sometimes I like to EQ a little more (5-10%) bass. If I used a DAPs digital out, I couldn't apply this slight EQing, when I find it necessary. Would I miss it with mojo at all?

You can't use Mojo just as an amp, because it does not have analogue input.
 
It only accepts Digital input

No and no. Mojo only works in DAC mode. There is no line in.

Sorry, I got a bit confused. I am after a long day.

I meant I wouldn't really use Mojo from computer as a DAC.

But with a DAPs digital out. I know, there is no analog in on Mojo.

That is still digital out feeding right into the DAC in Mojo. No way to bypass Mojo's DAC.
 
But either way, I don't know of a pure amp for $600 that sounds better than the Mojo DAC/Amp. Since it is roughly the same size as a pure portable amp, then yes, you should put this on your short list. You can also checkout the Vorzuge line of pure amps for about the same price.

Thanks for the recommendation. Many people rave about Mojo. I got too curious not to try it.

cheap cables micro usb otg , and a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable, i am in search now for quality cables
 
pm1 trumps 650 by big margin, when i heard the 650 2 years ago it was not something i liked , i can not remember i ever liked a headphone as much as the pm1, mids are amazing smooth full bodied and warm, great bass punch, and great high with no siblience at all
