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

Time for a separate impressions thread, this one is getting too out of hand.

Would that work with Mojo? (Apparently the price is incorrect, only $100 actually, but since it's out of stock, it shows a high price, so the seller says)

Yes, people confirmed it to work with HUGO. You  can PM, @lavricables to order.

Have you tried Ibasso dx90 throug coax to Mojo? If yes, how much is the improvement (through HP out), if any...

Cheers!
 
x RELIC x in his great review mentioned that LCD 2 has a suprisingly good synergy with Mojo despite the fact that this is a pretty power hungry headphone... But what about MrSpeakers Alpha Dog or Prime? Has anybody tried one of them wit Mojo so far? They seems to be even more demanding...
 
Thanks.

 
Bit sleep deprived, so math might be off, but at 49ohm impedance and 90dBSPL/mW the Prime needs ~100mW to reach 110dB transient peaks, and 316mW to reach 115dB peaks (with the smaller former value being a reasonable target). The Mojo looks to be putting out about ~118mW into the Primes 49ohm load, so it might be adequate, but there may be little headroom volume-wise. Depends on the listeners preferred listening volumes a bit, as well as their taste in music - classical listeners for example probably need not apply (but then they're probably not using the Prime in any case). I think it is unlikely to be ideal.
 
The LCD-2 in comparison is a lot more sensitive than the Primes, the current LCD-2 is not actually that demanding power wise - it only needs 8mW to reach 100dB peaks (Audeze website has its impedance at 70ohm and sensitivity at 101dbSPL/mW).
 
EDIT: Should add that even my math is correct above, that does assume a linear power supply, given 720 into 8ohm and 35 into 600ohm does not look like it is entirely linear (by design I would think).

I ordered my in Saturday morning from Amazon uk and get it yesterday (Tuesday ) morning

I will pair with my zx2 also , you will have to buy digital out cable to pair it with mojo which isn't available in Europe . I took order from Amazon US paid only 32 dollars with shipping so model number is Sony WMC-NWH10 USB good luck

This cable looks really interesting also!

I have a Sony WMC-NWH10 USB cable for sale if anyone in the UK is interested please PM for price.

Really enjoying the sound of my Tera player, but ohh boy this Mojo DAC is in a different class, that delivers more realistic sound then many other expensive  DAC's .
Even with a mobile phone playing high quality music paired with Mojo we can have a pretty much affordable system with us.
Thank you Chord.

And as the earlier caption contest had some great responses, another one here!
 

 

[x RELIC x]

Has anyone heard both the Mojo and the Oppo HA1? How do they compare? Are they in the same ballpark sound wise?

This thread moved a hundred pages since I grabbed some shut eye!

I have some brief comments about the two in my review (link in my sig).

I would summarize and say for at least one of my headphones I prefer the HA-1 amp section balanced out over the Mojo headphone out, but it's a sound signature thing not a capability thing. The Mojo is quite capable of driving a wiiiiiide range of headphones, which still has me scratching my head. Rob basically said that the analogue section on the Mojo is the same as the Hugo.

For the DAC the Mojo wins. Hands down. 'Nuf said.

Okay, I'll bite.
 
"Come again, you got that through customs how?!?" 

 

 

[giovvanie]

yes , but this seller don't sending to uk ...

Put your gadgets away, mines better than yours, mines better than yours, mines a Mojo!!

This will not work with HUGO/Mojo. It works only with OPPO HA-2. There's a 20K Ohm resistor between pins 4 and 5.
