Okay, so this picture is crying out for a "best caption" contest. There's just so much material you could run with. 

So fellow Head-Fi friends, what's the best/funniest caption you can come up with for this picture of the Mojo event at The Shard?
 

 
 
Lady on the left is riffing 'Stairway to Heaven' on her air-guitar, and John is beatifically casting his gaze skywards, in appreciation, exclaiming "Hallelujah...Praise the Mojo!" 

 
 
 
 
Any more pics, Andrew?

Right. Today's update. My HA-2 is for sale here - http://www.head-fi.org/t/785203/oppo-ha-2

What has the Mojo done to my headphones ?

Sony MDR-1RNC - these have never sounded so full, punch al, detailed and engaging

AKG K702 - great match especially with female vocals and classical

ATH-M50x - the Mojo rocks these.

I prefer the Sony and Mojo.

Now while I have a few DSD tracks and a few flac tracks and they do sound better I use MP3 320bit rate. It's good enough and space saving too.

Someone asked about the Oppo HA-1 vs Mojo. I don't have the HA-1 anymore but when using it in balanced mode with the oppo balanced headphone cables with the Oppo PM2s , this combo was better.

But the HA-1 is a beast of a size whereas the Mojo is portable, fits in a pocket and is good enough etc.... Very good enough

Thanks. I'll have to give the mojo an audition.

Welcome John!!! Great job to all of you on the Mojo. I am eagerly awaiting mine (first batch from Moon Audio). Cheers

 


Same here. When did you order it from Moon Audio? I do not know mine is in the first batch or 2nd one???

For all of us "patiently" awaiting our Mojos from Moon Audio, has anyone heard when the first batch is arriving other than "this week"?

Not yet. I ordered mine at 11:45am ET on the 14th. Eager of course, but also know that at the end of the day a delay of a week or so is not going to kill me (well, not totally). Cheers

My order was placed at 12:09 EDT. Drew did respond to my email yesterday. He says the first batch is expected in 10 days. But, he doesn't know the size of the batch, so he can't commit on whether my order will be fulfilled in first batch.

 


I thought that Moon Audio website said first batch will be there in the week beginning 10/19/15 before I have ordered it?

I'm taking the Chord Hugo home from work to prepare for Mojo.
It will be interesting to test my CustomArt H8Pro's on it and compare afterwards when the Mojo comes in.
One advantage I have is that I can test gear all the time since we're a Chord dealer.
My first impressions of them together weren't great but it could be possible that the Hugo wasn't properly played in.
I'm going to give it a second try.
I'm much more interested in the small form factor and price ofcourse of the Mojo.
I'm curious between the differences of a smartphone USB OTG and optical out of an AK100II.
If they are too small it could be possible my AK will be sold.
It will have only one advantage left compared namely the ability to stream my entire hard drive directly over wifi to the device in any format, that's what I love about these things.
I hope I won't be disappointed about Mojo and the synergy with my iem's because it's the first time in years I've gotten so excited about a mobile product. 

 

[singleended58]

Yes, its confusing.

 


Here is what I read in my mailing address:

Chord Mojo DAC headphone amp
1 Review(s) | Add Your Review


Update 10/19: 1st batch arrives this week. 2nd shipment close to sold out - arrives next week.

Orders are reserved on a first to order, first to ship basis. Order today to reserve your Mojo.

Chord Electronics new MoJo Digital Analog Converter (DAC) and headphone amp is something special. Audiophiles know Chord's Mojo's older brother, the Chord Hugo, well.

The Hugo set new standards for musicality, warmth and intimacy in digital music. If the Chord Hugo is portable, the Chord Mojo is ultra-portable with a smaller footprint, so small you can wrap your hand around.

Moon-Audio.com founder Drew Baird is in England listening to Mojo's introduction. He reports Chord Hugo's little brother's Mojo sounds amazing.

"Ridiculous," Drew just said from across the pond. Drew says his ears are on fire listening to Chord's new MoJo. Ridiculous and on fire in a GOOD WAY!

Does Mojo improve when burned in?!

I think so. The one I am listening to has opened up more after just 50 hours. Also I notice more retrieval of the "sound" of the acoustical space. Bass has tightened up and so on. I think anything needs some time. This while comparing it to a few other things so I know it isn't me but the component changing.

Have 120 hours on mine and I noticed that to at about 100 hours.

Some great captions there guys, a few had me in stitches     
 
I'll dig a few more out when I'm back home Mython, but not sure others are quite as entertaining!

Ordered this afternoon here in the UK but just missed cut off time for delivery tomorrow so will be here on Friday.  
 
After reading Relics review can't wait to try with my Angie's.
 
Any recommendations on a reasonably priced USB OTG cable that works and is reliable?  I've owned a couple in the past that have been poor quality.
 
Looks like my HA-2 will be visiting the for sale section soon.

What didn't you like about the combo?
