Apologies for asking an obvious question, but my first question has to be:     are you definitely using the correct microUSB ports, on Mojo?

 

[henddy]

Yes

Try this and let me know if it works:
 
1. Turn the Mojo off
2. In the off state, press and hold the + & Power buttons at the same time for a few seconds
3. Mojo should turn on as you are holding down the Power button
4. Check if it works now..

I try it ASAP when i get home...
Hopefully USB port no messed up
Thanks

Better suited for the Sound Science section. But what the heck, no harm in sharing a good read. Plus, hardly anyone visits the Sound Science section anyways

Be careful to choose the correct option, for Fiio!

Very good resource, thanks!

45 bucks is a fair price, hopefully if will be to distributers soon.

If the Power ball lights up when playing music, it means that Mojo is receiving the signal. So I'm confident it isn't the USB port.

Saw this info on the Empire Ears thread and, I thought it might be helpful for people who are bothered by hiss on their sensitive IEMs with the Mojo:

A while back, @castleofargh asked about hiss and I assured him I couldn't hear any... . iirc I tested with my  Angies, volume raised to crazy-dangerous levels... . Nothing.
 
What IEMs have been reported to pick up hiss

Sennheiser IE80, 64 Audio A10 and Rhapsodio Galaxy. The Galaxy hisses when paired with Pandora SPC cable but close to zero hiss with the RSD 2.98 cable. 
 
Some IEMs are sensitive and some are not. Also some people are more sensitive to/cognitive of the hiss, while the rest are not. To make things worse, all the IEMs I own are pretty sensitive and I am sensitive to hiss as well. But the hiss on the Mojo is not only tolerable, but easily ignorable, because it is so low (nowhere close to the noisy Sony NWZ-A15 Walkman I once owned). But there are some ultra sensitive IEMs out there.

What IEMs have been reported to pick up hiss

I hear hiss with the Angie. Very very slightly. I don't notice it until I unplug them from the Mojo while still in my ears. Then it's like a sudden 'oh, it's quieter'. The Noble K10 is much more sensitive and I hear more hiss from them than the Angie, but really, nothing offensive to me. Again, very slight. The super sensitive SE846 would pick up even more hiss. I also noticed that with the Mojo the hiss doesn't change with volume. The trouble is that different people have different thresholds for hearing hiss.

 

[EagleWings]

Its also nice that Mojo is quite versatile, in the sense that, it is very powerful and, yet manages to work well with sensitive IEMs. Myself, being a strictly-IEMs guy (but Relic's review of the Utopia already put a worm in my brain), I was feeling quite bad that I was not actually taking advantage of Mojo's power. Until I bought the Rhapsodio Galaxy, which craves a lot of power in the form of current. And Mojo has no problem providing, what Galaxy needs..

Trying to find a decent portable amp for HD800...Any suggestions?

 
You are in the bakery and you are asking where you can buy bread my friend.. Use the 'Search the Thread' function on top or bottom of this page and search for "HD800". You should be able to find some info.
 
Another option might be Vorzamp Pure II Plus. I heard it is a small and powerful device. Not sure of its capability to drive the HD800s. But you can check out in its respective thread:

If I only take the technical specs into account, the 64 A10 and Angies are very similar. The fact that the Angies were still in your ears when you unplugged implies normal listening levels so I am at a loss other than to assume I fall into the category of  the hiss-ignorance-bliss...

@castleofargh sorry for misleading you, sir!
