Are you ready for this? It's what many of you have been waiting for...​

 
Looks good, although I would have loved some kind of gimmick to stack up the mojo with my iPhone.

Anyone do any comparison with Mojo and the new Dragonfly Red?

Interested in this too as I had red on pre-ordet but cancelled for now.

Chord does not strike me as a "gimmick" company.  Here is why:  
 
My expectation is excellence with logistics for everything explained.  It is an expectation based upon their products and action.  They not only produced the Mojo but have freely explained everything about it, from the scientific to the practical and aesthetic.  I don't see them putting anything but top quality on or near their products.  Their products speak louder than the advertising.  
 
Gimmicks do work and some are non offensive and some are awful, but it isn't something I expect after seeing such clarity of explanations regarding their project.  
 
The case looks solid and well made.  I wonder if there will be two sizes; one larger for the module.

Maybe I misused the word "gimmick" as English is not my mother tongue.
What I meant is some kind of smart idea, solution in order to facilitate the stacking.
Why not doing this the "Chord way", so top quality, reliable and sturdy?
 
Tell me about loving Chord products... I bought a Hugo which I use at home and ended up buying the Mojo as well for commute and business trips.
But I still struggle in finding a convenient solution to use the Mojo with my iPhone when on the go.

Somehow this case announcement has stronger effect than my coffee..

But honestly, I'll skip the case because of 2 reasons:
1. I don't think a case is necessary for pocket-person like I am.
2. Compability with future Mojo modules. Will those modules fit with mojo inside the case?

This depends on how protective you are towards your Mojo. For me a few scratches would be annoying as hell
Concerning your second point I recall that there will LIKELY be a dedicated case for Mojo+Module.

Cheers

  Not 100% confirmed, but it certainly won't surprise me if they cook-up something nice, to handle the addition of a module.

This is just for fun, so excuse the roughness of this photoshopped mock-up, but this is the kind of thing I was imagining:

Already imagined and more but it can't be quite like that as there are four different module to accommodate it's being refined and costed but it's great you guys can get a hint of where we are going with mojo it's more of a system that a product. But please be patient we want to get all this really right and not just okay.

I like the look of the case, but it's not for me. Yes the Mojo was designed as a portable solution but for me it would just add bulk to gain little from a standard iPhone or iPod when on the go - there's too much ambient noise when commuting to really benefit from the Mojo.

My Mojo is firmly on my desk - well actually on my audio interface, which is on my desk, and I bought it solely to drive those headphones that I have better than my audio interface. In respect of that it's done it's job admirably. So for me the Mojo is not a portable solution.

I really don't get why anybody would need a Mojo for portable use as I feel that most current DAPs and Phones are good enough with good portable HPs or IEMs without the need for external DACs and Amps.

This makes me think of an article I read recenty

So it seems minding scratches would be a very mild form of OCD

I concur. I use my Mojo at home exclusively as a desktop dac in my office and, occasionally, in the living room. I think that the fine nuances that the Mojo retrieves from my music would be lost to ambient noise.

My ferrite noise suppressors came today to fit to my Mojo/Z5mini to see if eliminates interference over 4G cellular and amazingly it does, greatly. Still get some low level noise if hand goes near (on cellular) but otherwise can now stream Spotify/Tidal over 3G/4G/WiFi fine.









The Z5 is the perfect transport for the Mojo IMO due to size, takes a 200GB microSD, long battery life (especially standby) and built-in software even plays DSD though only scaled to Android 48/192 unlike UAPP which does native to Mojo.

When will this be available?
