You're right and that is why the Hugo TT retains a battery. And I'd love to see Rob Watts comment on the feasibility of removing the battery from the Mojo. As a table top, they would not have the same IEM noise floor constraints because that would take it out of the portable market. A docking station for home use would be a possibility if they could address the heat issues while charging/playing and it could drive headphones like the HD 600/650, HD 800/800S, HE1000 etc. Either way, I'd like to see Chord get the job done and bring a Mojo TT to the market.
Chord already have the 2Qute desktop DAC at £995 (Hugo is £1400 and Mojo £399 here in the UK so kind of splits the difference). I don't think it has a headphone output but I believe the DAC stage is lifted from the Hugo. Add an amp of your choice and you have what you are looking for. Chord now have Mojo and Hugo for portable/transportable, 2Qute, Hugo TT and Dave for desktop; not sure it would make more sense to add another desktop DAC. So they add an amp to the 2Qute but that would maybe take sales away from Hugo? Make a "desktop Mojo" but that would maybe take sales from the 2Qute and Hugo?
