So the best is to uncheck the ''exclusive mode'', and just leave the Mojo as the standard device, is that correct?

I’m not entirely sure of the settings. As I said, I don’t use Windows for audio playback so hopefully someone who does can answer.

It's seems that the fixed 16 bit - 48 kHz setting on the Windows control panel gives the cleanest sound, which I found a bit strange, as it is recommended to keep it at the bitrate of your music (in my case that is 16 bit - 44 kHz). The 16 - 44 kHz setting is a bit faster though, but also slightly harsher than the 48 kHz setting. I'm not entirely sure about the 16 bit - 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz settings, but they seem very slightly more compressed than 48 kHz and 44.1 kHz, yet a bit clearer

The other higher fixed bitrate samples above 16 bit, are noticably inferior to the 16 bit settings. With my previous Geek Out 450, the highest bitrate sample gave the cleanest sound. It seems quite the opposite here.

Why not just use WASAPI, ASIO, or KS within dedicated playback apps? That way windows isn't resampling your music and you don't have to worry about the windows settings.

Oh yeah forgot to say, I do use ASIO in foobar2000, and it definitely sounds better than the Windows mixing. But I also stream 320 kbps MP3's on my Edge browser and use YouTube a lot as well.

DIY battery

I don't have the guts to do soldering.

Btw, what is the sound quality difference between issue 1 first gen and issue 4 pls?

Thanks for sharing, that is an elegant solution, I never thought of doing that.

I would attempt it myself, after all the old battery is scrap anyway and none of the soldering is done to the Mojo itself. Care would have to be taken to ensure that the battery terminals are not shorted though obviously.

I just received the HiBy R3 DAP and it pairs beautifully with the Mojo!

I also got the HiBy 3,5mm Coax cable and it is perfect for pairing the two.
I also have the Shanling L2 USB-C to Micro-USB cable, and the 2 cables produce very different results with the Mojo!

The first thing is volume, the 3,5mm coax needs a much higher output setting on the Mojo for the same volume.
Where the 2 balls are red with the Shanling L2 I need to turn up the Mojo to blue to get a similar volume with the 3,5mm coax cable.

The second thing I noticed was a deeper and more powerful bass with the coax cable, then I listened a bit more and I got the impression that the clarity and separation is also quite a bit better with the coax cable.

I don't remeber reading anything about such phenomena, did anyone experience this before?
Any statements from Rob Watts about that?

But in the end I am just curious, and happy that I get even better sound than before :)

Don't worry, I don't want to buy one.
But I get concerned when I keep getting links that generate this response.
The web still contains links trying to get one to pay for things, only for them not to arrive.

Hmmm. Are you outside the U.S.? Although not sure if why that would matter.
For those interested in buying but the link isnt working, do a search for "Chord Electonics - Mojo - Portable DAC/Amp - Authorized Dealer" and pick the one sold by Audio 46.

My Mojo gets hot when fully charged + connected to power adapter while playing. It stays cool when playing using just the battery and not plugged to the power. It doesnt make sense to me why it would be wayyy hotter when using it while plugged on full battery?
