Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆
Sep 23, 2016 at 1:55 PM Post #23,086 of 42,765
I'm after some assistance in finding a short suitable toslink cable for my imminent purchase of a mojo to pair it with my cowon P1. Something of quality build is a must being sturdy to take the rigours of being a portable stack etc.
I've searched through a plethora of posts but can't find any definitive solution to what I need to assist in bring in the mojo P1 pairing in my life together. It seems here in the UK finding such a lead is somewhat of a pain in the rear end so to speak. Any guys on here make such custom leads?
Thanks in advance for any assistance here.

Regards

Mark

 
SysConcept is generally the go-to source for specialist ultra-short toslink cables, for most head-fiers.

Yes...  I have 2 of them. One for my Mojo and one for my HUGO.  Very very good and no issues whatsoever with 24/192...

On a different note, I have the Mojo plugged in to my home stereo in pure direct mode on the stereo feeding my floor standing speakers. Man alive! I've abandoned my stereo setup for far too long and the depth and imaging I'm hearing right now is nothing short of amazing. If I close my eyes I can place the singer, instruments, backup singers, etc., easily. Usually when I've listened to my stereo setup in the past it felt like it only had good stereo seperation and never this sort of depth and imaging.

Over the years headphones have become my default medium of music consumption given family life and my desire to consume tunes anywhere around the house. I forgot how enticing music can be through speakers, at least with the Mojo feeding the system I feel it's on a different level than I've heard before. Eva Cassidy, Nightbird, Fields of Gold(live), is amazing on this right now... I'm there. Yikes, do I want to upgrade my speakers now?!


I really, really would like to try this with my Eminent Technology LFT-6 speakers with Classé CA300 amp controlled direct from the Mojo, but it's all in a non-installed state in our unfinished basement and God knows when I'll actually be able to. The ETs already image and soundstage really well so I'm imagining this is going to be an great combo ... when I get to listen to it in 5-10 years.

Using my mojo as the input for my arcam solo neo, has given my hifi new life.
 
The only downside, is that you will find that you will start to wonder, 'if the mojo is that good, just think what the sound would be like if I bought a Hugo, or 2Qute, or Hugo TT, or......'.

Could anyone post an ACTUAL picture of Audio Sanctuary's (formerly Custom Cable) 3.5mm Coaxial Cable for connecting FiiO X3II/X5II/X7 to Mojo? 



With all due respect, the picture on Custom Cable's website looks like it was photoshopped by a 3-year-old...  @PhilW

 
 
 
On 4/4/16 (more than 500 pages ago), I posted this:

  I've ... requested Phil (Custom-Cables) and Drew (Moon-Audio) to send me pics of their various device-cables, appropriate for Mojo use, and will be adding these to the various sections of post #3, as and when I receive them.

 
and, bizarrely, I never received so much as a single photograph from either of them

  I've had a pair of Grado GR10 for about 3 years now. I always felt it was missing some low end grunt and impact. In fact, it was missing a Chord Mojo. Superb SQ from these tiny buds now. On a Sonorous VI it certainly enriches the experience, but it's not such a big change as in the GR10.
Verry happy new Mojo owner over here.

Similar experience with the HK BTs (I used them wired) ... from where did this bass come??? It's amazing ...

I thought that someone posted a picture of the one they received, a few days ago.

 
True, but I was referring to requesting images of several different Mojo-relevant cables, from each vendor, rather than just the one. I anticipated that both vendors would be keen to have their products listed as potential purchases, for Mojo-owners, but evidently, I was wrong...

Talking about cables, SonicElectronix has listed a new plastic Toslink cable and it advertises it for Mojo.

Given the price and the material, I doubt it's reliability in terms of it's ability to support over 96kHz files.

This might seem like a trivial problem, but the color of the power ball does not change color based on sampling frequency. I have tried it with Foobar, Vlc, Mediamonkey and a few other players. Any idea what might cause this? I have already installed the drivers for W7 from the official website.
 
Except this the Mojo is excellent, I do hear a slight hiss with my shure Se846 but not enough to complain about =)

For those who are interested in Moon Audio coaxial cables, there are a few very nice pictures took by sellers in FS forum, both straight and right angle ones.

Is that the chord driver?
 
What windows sound settings are you using? Maybe the default is to upsample everything to the same frequency.

Yes, the Mojo Chord drivers. Not quite what the recommended settings should be. I have allowed exclusive mode in the settings.
 
I guess this is what you are talking about?
 

 
 
Seems like it upsamples everything to the same frequency, any idea how to turn that off?
