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

[Whitigir]

Interesting, the venerable X5 (coax) seems to sound different to the QP1R (optical), a bit shoutier, less refined, but - with slightly more prominence to the mids, and - dare I say it, slightly airier (soundstage)?

Would like others to share opinions, as this could well be placebo!?

Lol, Duncan, I love how you put that "Placebo" up there. . Amazing first impression, please keep it kicking

FWIW over on the Naim forums, where there are a good few Hugo owners, the consensus seems to be that the quality of the transport matters. A good number of them are using Naim streamers (not exactly cheap....) feeding their Hugos.

It deserves its success.

I have seen the pictures of the usb dongle. I have on concern and that is mostly do with the design. The attachment appears to expose the usb pins to possible damage in case of accidental bending.

How is chord going to tackle this matter?

Whether those differences would be heard in a blinded test however....

Bouncing back and forward, considering we're talking differences in DACs, decoders and digital transport, with the Layla I would be happy to run with the Pepsi challenge

Another one, each, from Jennifer and Shelby, respectively. These sound excellent through Mr Mojo:

Unless you have two Mojo's a blinded test will be difficult though, be a bit fiddly and time consuming switching transports? Maybe not?

cracking review, one of he best i have read. 

Thank you very much!

I spent a lot of time on it since I had a break in my work schedule. I was all Mojo, all day (and a lot of late nights)! My wife was getting quite pissed but how often does one get to be part of what I consider a rare product launch.


If you guys haven't read it, there' some Q&A with Rob Watts in my review which is a bit interesting. Link in my sig.

That's another good reason to have two 

 
I wonder if Duncan and Gavin can get together and do the test with two Mojo's? They live in the same country right? England is a small island right, how far apart could they be?
