Hi all,
I got really late to party here... but, I just bought a Chord Mojo after reading all the reviews ranting about how good, smooth, and musical this little box is. Unfortunately my experience so far has been a big frustration...I mean, are my ears, really that different than anyone else???...this thing is far from smooth or musical....
I've tested it with a MacBook Pro and an iMac, through optical and USB, with Audirvana and Roon, with an AK120II through toslink, on a Beyer T5p gen 2, LCD2 fazor and a HD800 and the results are pretty much the same give or take....dry, thin, laid back, hollow, cold and quite grainy!...My reference system is an Auralic Vega + Aries and a Violectric V281 and the Mojo is light years behind...I really hope the Mojo benefits from burn in or something, although the only similar experience to mine was by someone 1000 pages ago...
Regarding pairing/synergy with the Mojo, the T5p has the worse, the Audeze a bit better and the HD800 the best so far....
I hope will get better!
While not summit fi. After over a year with mojo I'm starting to prefer Cowon Plenue m2 over mojo...
