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

[Ike1985]

Yes I have been charging it on its own and not playing it at the same time and when using it I do not continue to charge it at the same time.

I have several good chargers rated at 1 amp and over and have no such issues with other amps and Daps that I have.

I suggest the highest amp charger you have, mine is 2.5+ Apple one that comes with iPads.

I think earlier in this thread these were suggested as being suitable. I use my current Motorola Fast Charge for charging my Mojo

Thanks guys! the highest I have is a 2 amp.
 
I also used a new portable charger and the Mojo just sucked all the charge from it which resulted in nothing more than heating up the Mojo and then it just switched itself off again when I tried to use it.
 
I believe Chord recommend anything over 1 amp.
 
Is the mojo battery a special high voltage/amperage battery as the heating issue and the 10 hour charging requirement is most unusual for a portable device.
 
I just thought that I would share my experience and I will simply have to return it.

There has never been a 10 hour charging requirement. Chord quoted that in case of a very large shelf life in the future. 4 hours is much more typical. When the white charging light goes out, it is charged.

MY brand new Mojo was full charged for about 6H

Do the led lights on brightest setting take any significant energy over lowest bright setting?

Please stop posting and just enjoy the music. If I had a Mojo I'm sure I'd use the lower setting, but not to save battery life...

Hello Mojo freaks, I am one of u!
I wonder if I could get some input on which hi end and or giant killer IEMs sound the best with the mojo, I have the 1plus and trinity atlas and both sound fantastic but I wonder if there are any out there that would sound even better. I am not a believer that the most expensive sound better all the time. To me that only happens on some occasions, I have heard IEMs that cost very little and some that cost a lot like the K10 which sounds to ally beautiful but the sound stage is almost non existent. Not trying to create controversy it was just what my ears told me. I prefer the presentation of my cheap Titan 1 to the presentation of the K10, the Titan one is so much more spacious sounding, but the K10 is better tonally. I am looking for one IEM that will do it all if it exist.
Thanks in advance for any input

Try fit ear tg334, it can take a bit of effort to achieve seal once it does, with mojo, is goosebumps all over, tears, all kind of emotional stuff.

Thanks Kitten-Face! 

 
I will try a few more charge cycles before I give up.
 
p.s. By any chance is this you or your other half!

Thanks for the input
That is one of the ones I was thinking of, have u by any chance compared them to the JH different models or the Adell U12?
How is the soundstage on them
I see there is a pair in eBay for $1200

They are LEDs, no power consumption will be an issue at this scale.

Guy has a question, just answer it or move along. No need to try and regulate the types of questions people are asking.

 

[Mojo ideas]

Hi guys, I'm interested in mojo and I was wondering the same thing.
Did you discovered if mojo micro-usb Input work with "data only" micro-usb cable? I'd like to keep the connection as clean as possible and I thought that DIY a data only cable for input would be the best choice. I'll be using the mojo with android smartphone/tablet.
thanks!

 


Actually, for that reason I always unplug when I use the mojo, just uses battery power. Really not anymore annoying than turning it on.

Although mojo senses the 5 volt power at the data In micro USB socket. The five volts goes no further into this input it's just being sensed that it's there. Therefore it can not affect the data on that input in any way as the data goes on into the Mojos circuitry alone and unaccompanied by the five volts who is left standing on the door step as it were!

Yes I agree the lower LEDs brightness setting saves only a few milliWatts allowing a few more minutes of playing time buts it's really insignificant,

 

[Antihippy]

Would be nice to have lower settings than what the lowest one currently is though.

I like to listen before going to bed and the LEDs are still strong enough to light up my room.
