What dac chip is in the Mojo? I've looked all over the internet for an answer and can't find anything. Is Chord not releasing that info or something? I looked through this thread but I don't have the time to read all 2147 pages.

It uses a Xilinx Artix FPGA for the custom WTA filter and the DAC is Rob Watts discrete Pulse Array DAC with 4 elements. Nothing about Chord DACs has an off the shelf DAC chip.

You can read the third post of this thread for a copious amount of information from the designer Rob Watts.

Ah, gotchya. Makes sense why I couldn't find any info on it, it's all custom. Thank you very much for the quick and informative reply.

Hey guys, so I just bought the Chord Mojo and it came in a Black Box. Is this new because all the reviews show that the Mojo comes in a white box. Can anyone confirm if the black box is a new thing? I'm afraid that I had purchase a fake Mojo!

Does Chord make a change to Mojos finish? The newer one looks more glossy, mine old Mojo is a bit more matt black. Hmm. How will Poly look? It won't fit one of this Mojos for sure.

Two finishes? Interesting and not in a good way to match the Poly! Chord or dealers any comment? At what serial nuber series did it change if in fact it did. I would not be happy to spend that much on the two and they didnt match. Going to hold off on Poly (knowing it is delayed) until I can get more clarification.

What serial number range is the lighter one? MOxx...

Old one: ~20k, new one with QR code ~50k.

No, I don't think you can manualy brush it that perfectly. The newer one was DEMO unit from store, so it was not used regulary.

The difference was hard to catch on photo but it visible and was quite obvious in feel too when you hold them in hand.
