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

[Traveller]

... So you guys don't think you'll still have your Mojo's three years from now? I generally hang on to most of my equipment, but I'm sentimental like that.

I still have my very first portable DAC, an in-house creation from the Headroom guys know as the Total AirHead (TAH). I think I got it back in 2004 along with my first IEMs - the venrable Etymotic ER-4S. I also have my 2nd DAC - Total BitHead which was my first USB-based portable DAC. Both work fine
 
I have a working iRiver iHP-120 DAP from ~2001 and a (maybe? still working) Diamond RIO 500 DAP - my very first "MP3 Player" from 2001. It used a 64MB external card... lol.
Even my two Grado cans (60s & 225s) are their 1st gen models.

May i ask if it possible to connect it to the standard 3.5mm headphone out on my TV and will that sound ok? If so where do I connect it to on the Mojo and what cable do i use?

THE TV optical is already connected and there is no other connection.

 
It won't work, because you are thinking to using the analogue output from you TV headphone out socket, as an input to feed your Mojo. The Mojo is a Digital to Analogue Convertor, so it will only accept digital inputs.

i don't know if i am correct or not but i noticed that with using android as a transport the sound stage is bigger than using ios with neutron being the music player on both

Coaxial would be the only other option. (not 100% positive though,im sure others would chime in to correct) What do you have optical connected to?

Thank you kindly. I have the current Optical output connected to a (Optical to RCA) Converter, which then goes into my LINN AMP. The LINN Amp drives my floorstanding Musical Fidelity Speakers.

The SONY TV does have RCA Output but I cannot get it to work and Sony Support has been useless.

You could feed the output from your (Optical to RCA) Converter, to a simple switching box, that you could use to select either your Linn or the Mojo. For example http://www.head-fi.org/t/717314/rca-y-splitter-box-1-in-2-out#post_10522672

Has anyone here played with Mojo + PM3 combination and willing to recommend some kind of EQ?
 
Thanks

Im listening to that combo right now. Why are you wanting to EQ?

 

[daberti]

It looks to me that sounscape is somehow narrower than with Oppo HA-2. Cymbals and high hats are very subdued and low-bass to 600Hz is way too much emphasized.

@JaZZ seems to be exploring EQ settings for some of the chord DACs, maybe he has tried this combination.

 

[daberti]

Sent him a PM

Have you checked that Android is not upsampling?
 
Are you using UAPP on Android?

 

[vapman]

Upsampling is not necesairally terrible, in my opinion... I use foobar2000 built in upsampler in ultra mode to 96k on 44.1 & 48k material.
 
I find when using the equalizer, it offers a much less congested sound, and bass EQ seems to go noticably deeper.

I am confused. If you Google Mojo, there are a bunch of websites that will sell you Mojo on line. Heck, you can also buy it on Amazon.

I'm so sneaky, I ordered my Mojo from Amazon UK, and only paid $473 shipped.
