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

[audionewbi]

I am sold on using my A16 Walkman. The battery life of A16 and Mojo match each other (Mojo last longer, no pun intended).
 
This is why I will not be trying any other sources. I like USB better than Optical and I truly cannot wait till the added dongle is released. With that I can use both my ipod touch and A16 using the sony otg cable.
 
I asked my local dealer and Chord is expecting a release date sometimes next year. I hope it is sooner, either way I just want to let the word out, guys dont spend crazy money on fancy sources, sony A16 offers great UI, slim form and a battery life that matches Mojo, once cannot go wrong. If you want to pay more one can spend a little more and get the 64 GB version and with new 200 GB microSD card that is plenty storage. 
DSD can be wrapped using DSD2FLAC apps, so A16 also supports DSD (DSD64). The bonus of A16 is that it has a better battery life than ZX1 and ZX2 when used with the sony otg cable. This is because it uses no andriod and simply uses a simple OS. 

I havent tried the sony ZX-100, if the battery life is as good as A16 than it is even better considering the 128 GB onboard storage and the 200 GB expansion.

so lets see what this baby can do

If one does not mind the relatively smaller soundstage Mojo arguably is untouchable in its class.

Funny you mention this now, just today I was looking at these wondering if they do digital out ha-ha.

Currently have a z3 compact that is no longer being used as a phone strapped to my mojo. It's actually pretty good. Tidal, uapp. Nice and anappy ui and the bonus of updating my playlists for tidal on my pc and it just downloads them to the phonewhen I get home of a night.

thanks man, i know chord can deliver and that's why i thought let me see how new coming daps will be before i buy any of the new comers.
 
If i will buy a new dap then i can use the mojo for my desktop configuration system, the mojo can be used in so many multiple of ways for me

I know a lot of guys wouldn't agree, but I know a lot of other guys would agree with me that the mojo simply is in another league compared to even the best. The ak380 simply sounded dead next to the mojo to my ears.

You should try it with your LCD-2, I think you'd enjoy it a lot.

Hi,

Yes that is correct but I prefer not to use iCloud as a backup for various reasons. I'm referring to local backup on my Mac and I wish the Onkyo app had that simple option that apps like FLAC Player and, in fact, most video playing apps have.

Thanks.

Interesting you should mention the Flac player option. On my iPhone/iPad/iPod running iOS 9.1 I can't find this option any more, only the one for iCloud.

Strangely when I back up my iPhone and iPad the Flac files don't get backed up. However with my new ipod6 they do get backed up to my PC.

So if you can still find that setting please let me know.

Hi Ian,

I should clarify that I don't have the FLAC Player app but I had written to the developer and he had shown me the screenshot of where that option is. I guess that as iOS gets updated there's always the risk that things are changed. As an aside that is also why I don't like to use CCK as sometimes that is affected when iOS is updated.

I use the Onkyo app just for normal iTunes music files, preferring to put all my lossless and non-iTunes music onto dedicated DAPs.

[lovetroniq]

it will be using your pc standard output rate. You need to download some extra (free) output components to make it pass through at the native file sampling rate. I had the same problem at first

Can you be more specific what to download,i'm also confused about it.

 

[BigRon007]

Thanks for that. What might those components be ? I'm a bit of a newby i'm afraid (more like numpty)
