I concur, absolutely no production issues from Chord and believe me stock has flowed exceptionally well. As I type I have 5 units left of my last batch. Pretty sure that won't last long though.
I am certain by the time Mojo batteries dies 90% of us are already busy with new toys CHORD has released, having said that the battery inside Mojo is plug and play. So it will not be hard to replace it.
There were some comments about lithium polymer (LP) batteries on here a few days ago. The life of an LP is totally controlled/limited by the charging and monitoring electronics. If done well you might get 5 years of life, but this will still be largely governed by the number and type charge/discharge cycles. 10 years is not (currently) possible. I understand that the Mojo has a 1 year battery guarantee. BTW I work for the larger LP manufacturer.
Thank you for your information, if that's the case why Chord didn't go with lithium ion battery?
Knowing them and being invited at their factory I've seen it and believe they use only the best components in their products always.
I just carried a quick amp test and my results are as follows:
Portaphile 627x: Sadly this amp proves to be the worst offender. Mojo has out classed this amp by a large margin. Meir Audio quickstep: This amp did not alter the sound but to me there is no point in pairing it with quickstep as Mojo alone offers far more volume than paired with quickstep. Wagnus Epsilon S: Expanded the soundstage which was nice but like the other amp the amp section is just nowhere as powerful as Mojo. I felt transparency also took a hit. Analg2paper TR-07hp: This was the best pairing of the lot. Like other amps the transparency took a hit but the added bonus was the bass had a nicer reverb. To my ears the bass become extended the the decay was a lot more natural. The mid-bass to my ears was reduced and sub-bass become a little more prominent.
Summary: Add an amp if you like to color the sound and play around with the tuning, I see no real value in adding amp. So far I dont have any amp that is as powerful as mojo.

Apology - lithium polymer (LP) battery is strictly called a lithium-ion polymer battery - it is the best to use in this application. There are lots of other lithium batteries including:
I dun really bother to buy a used Ak100 just to perfect stack with Mojo but I can understand why many do that.
For me, this combo just rocks even my non audiophile friends agreed after they tried it.
