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

[AndrewH13]

coax cable. It comes in the box when you buy DX90.

The iBasso lead connects to Hugo but needs a Phono/3.5 adapter fitted to connect to Mojo.

Hi guys, so I'm looking for an amp/dac and found this little baby that just happens to float my boat
 
My only concern is that it has (based on what i've read) an output power of 720mW at 8ohm, which is not the best I've seen (correct me if I'm wrong), and I'd use an orthodynamic (Hifiman He400i) with it, which are told to require a lot of currency to sound good.
 
Any thoughts on this? Or has anyone tried it with such headphones?
Thanks for the kind help! 
 
Best, almoskosz

Mojo does not play 176 & 192 kHz Material via Toslink from AK240. Equal or less than 96 kHz are no problem. LG G4 OTG with 176 & 192 kHz no problem on the Mojo.

Btw the AK240 plays everything till 192 kHz with Toslink on the iFi iDAC micro without an issue.

Only difference between the iFi and Mojo connection is the optical cable (I don't have yet a short Mini-Optical to Toslink cable).

The stuck buttons are gone after moving the balls a little bit.

send with LG G4

Thank you.
I am interested in phones with OLED screen, FM radio,removable battery and micro sd card.
Shame they don't make this anymore.
How is Lg Flex2 battery life, does is still get hot,if you get to see and try lots of phones?

Tricky one to have all that you want.
LG Flex 2 - subsequent software updates have improved the heat issue, but not totally removed it. If it gets warm/hot battery drops faster. Its ok but personally I would not buy. I would get a phone with an 808 processor eg LG G4 isnt much more than the Flex 2..

not the cable....hmm very weird

From my experience with the Mojo and LCD-2 (pre-fazor) you'll be more than ok with the HE-400i.

Did you see Duncan's remarks, in regard to the AK120s?
 

The original has better form factor (as the screen is at the top, and doesn't have that extension as the mkii has), but heed the advice from yesterday from a poster who advised that some 120s had problems with (hi-res) optical out if the cable wasn't of a good enough quality (this might have been fixed with a firmware update)...

Seemingly the Titans were unaffected by this (I can attest with a standard patch cable I can do 24/192 with no problem)

Don't forget though if after a totally matching stack (size wise) the original 100 will be better (not to mention that it is black too!)

 
 
OK, so yours is a 240, not a 120, but it might still be worth trying a shorter optical cable (Sysconcept or similar), and see what happens....

192 works with my AK100 and the Sys Connect cable.

Thanks!

Small tip for french people, I got mine today from Renaissens.com in Paris,

There should be a few units left.
This tiny thing is charging right now, I might say good bye to my OPPO HA-2 pretty soon

I also had a few problems with 3-1metre length cables ,wouldnt play above 24/96 with mojo but were fine with my othere dacs,sysconcept cabled worked just fine.

Are we talking about this cable?

If yes, which end connects to the DX90? The 3.5mm mono plug? 

Sorry I forgot you need a 3.5mm to 3.5mm for Hugo. Ibaso's cable has the coax connector at one end

i made one for the Mojo to iBasso, get a 75ohm  coax cable and 2 trs 3.5mm jacks. short both Left and Right together for data in and then ground for the shielding.
