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

Why would the mojo get better with time except for brain burn in

I'm no expert on such matters, but I heard Onkyo have an app that lets you listen to FLAC files etc.
Plus there are of course apps with HD music streaming services such as Tidal.
Hope this helps! Enjoy the Mojo. My mission this year is to save up and get one too lol

Excellent as Tidal is it only provides 16 bit 44.1KHz, better known as CD quality. HD is usually deemed to be 24 bit. FLAC Player and Onkyo can both play HD on iOS. My preference is FLAC Player. But to be honest even the iTunes Player sounds decent with Chord equipment.

Technically lossy formats like MP3 and AAC are 16/44.1 as well. It's the 16/44.1 lossless compression such as FLAC / ALAC and of course non-compressed AIFF / WAV that is considered CD quality.

After testing the Chord Mojo thoroughly this time, I could not join the club. It is simply too sharp for the Noble Audio PR. I guess the neutrality is not suitable for every IEM. This was echoed in most reviews, the colouration in the source>amp>output are determined mostly by the output, hence it will be the best purchase to bring out the potential, or the worst purchase that brings out the ugly side of the headphones.

  Shame to hear, might be High Expectations. How are you listening to music on you iPhone 6+, if you haven't yet maybe try Onkyo HF Player along with your current set up.
My experience was completely different to yours and I noticed and enjoyed the difference from my previous set up immediately and it just keeps getting better. I personally find reasons to listen to music now where as before it was really only for my commute to work.
 
As always IMO and YMMV

PS. Have you allowed for Brain Burn in? 

 
PMSL, ROFL 

 
Ohhhhh Yes  

 
 
For 600, you bet I had high expectations but is very provable that I had already reached the best one can get out of the se846
 

  I believe there is a difference between iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus.   I have read this online, and recently...
 
I loaned a DAC to my son, who has the big one and he said, "it made no difference that I could tell" while using Beyers.  We did side by side with the same headphones and DAC using his oversized iPhone and my iPhone 6 ----same song, same volume, etc. 
 
Could this be that the new iPhone 6 plus has a better sound card or DAC which is why the Mojo did not show much?  Or, it is that and the specific headphones?

 
Maybe?  I dont know the the internals but in practice to me it went like this:
 
Iphone 6 (nor so great sound but serviceable) then I jumped to the HTC ONE (bad sound all around, I bought the FiiO E12A and increased the quality by a large margin) then back to the iphone 6s plus, since day one I was extremely surprised how well it sounded with the se846 without needing the FiiO and if I try to used it, I could not hear any positive difference, just some change in the sound signature

Someone might come-up trumps for you, but it's quite specialist, at this point in time, so it takes time for such a niche product to become widespread in the marketplace.
 
 
If you're willing to widen your search area, you could buy direct from HongKong, via eBay USA (I can't find this item listed on the UK site):

or, if you're feeling particularly intrepid, you could even have a look on TaoBao:

However, I am unfamiliar with the Hidizs AP100 - does it actually support digital-out via microUSB? I assumed it was only via traditional co-ax.

I tried the javascript remedy, not a thing about it when I get to block pop ups, so still cant use links on first page. Orfered a male b to male b. from USA, but still wont get it until march which isnt too good. Im not sure of whether the Hidizs AP100 supports on the go, the post for it contradicts itself. Just desperate to try somrthing. Im pissed off with chord big time, their measly power cable no good to man or beast, not a piece of litwerature with their £400 product, and they dont even tell you where the cables can be got,[please say if they can be found in Europe someone] and I haxe to search the globe for one. If this is not resolved tomorrow this useless gadget goes back to where it came from. To think I was so stupid and payed for express delivery, what a mug.

Having just listened to the 8 Ensembles in One bit Dsd256 in Jriver 21 through the Mojo and a pair of He-500's my mind is blown..  Absolutely amazing!

I got a cold, and loud noises give me headache, I guess a migraine, can't even enjoy my music.... Just venting.. I hope you friends don't mind.

 

[lubczyk]

Amazing little product. The very low to possibly non-existent noise floor really makes a difference and makes the sound so clear and spacious. Why would I need a desktop rig when I have this little marvel?

Not at all. Just for X3 2nd Gen, X5 2nd Gen, X7, or any Fiio product in future using TRRS 3.5 (4 pole).
