I am wanting to know how much better the other CHORD stuff scales up?

I am so impressed with this mojo, but how good is the cutest paired with a good amp like the meier corda classic or the Chord Hugo 2 compared to the MOJO?

Thanks

Hi, has anyone tried to use the Mojo to drive Sennheiser HD800S, when I tried I was surprised that the Mojo did a better job than the Hugo 1 sounding more open and airy or is it my old ears playing tricks on me

I have and I completely agree. It drives them very very well. A very good match imo.

Will need to try the mojo with my hd650 next.

You will probably like it than however when I have been testing HD600, HD650 and 660s the one that sounded the best to me was at the time... Ultrasone Pro 900i.

I’m in love with this dac... seriously, that’s why good stuff doesn’t need to renew it self every year with 3 other versions of the same thing like every dap in the last 2 years, seems like the one that comes out has already a new version coming within 3 months with something that they already planned from the very beginning.

so, no foreseeable update coming from this makes me wonder: where can we get replacement batteries? Been searching around the internetsss butbetter ask here.Does anyone has the fidelizer mod? 300 bucks for 2.5 output and cleaner signal seems a bargain when you have this thing. I seriously can’t believe it could be any better.
Currently using em with imr pb2, seems this pair needs some serious power to scale the planar driver on em.

Also keep an eye open for any dealers selling the Mojopoly Christmas box, in the january sales.

I reviewed the H2 when it went on prerelease tour in the US and preferred the tonality of the Mojo, though the Hugo was more transparent. The Qutest, which I have not heard, has essentially the Mojo output stage, so you should listed to both. It also depends on your needs. Your wallet will complain, but the TT2 is awesome for home use, and offers a lot of flexibility: it will drive any headphone, can drive efficient speakers directly, and can accept the mScaler input. But for portable, I prefer Mojo.

Neil Young digs the Mojo. I wonder what other Chord gear he also has:

Neil finally progressed from the Pono to the Mojo...

I've had a bit of a hiatus from fancy gear listening but felt it was time to relapse when the elusive good deal on my beloved HD600s manifested during the holidays. The used market provided an RME ADI-2 DAC and it sounds just like I remember it. Great by any rational metric yet somehow lifeless and unengaging.

Last time around I did own the Mojo and Hugo along with the RME and I have such fond memories of the Mojo. It has that 'bite' to the timbre and little room details that I love about Chord Dacs and that sweet sweet Mojo tuning is something I've missed. I had to order a Mojo again and will hopefully get it tomorrow. It'll be fun to see if it's all that I remember it to be, charging woes be damned

Hi all after a few recommendations/suggestions for headphones to short list that match well with the mojo

Been deliberating on mobile setup for some time and having gone round the houses and then some have decided to hang up my ak300 dap and just use my samsung s10plus to feed a mojo via UAPP with ifi otg cable and aq cinnamon micro usb (sound wise am a dave dac owner so that ultimately swing me back to mojo from apossible ak sr25/kann alpha that I was considering)

Headphone wise i have sennheiser iem 800 but want some proper cans, am tempted by sennheiser hd660s, but beyond that not sure where to go or trial would say top end budget would be £500 mark as will be limited testing via post from local dealer.

Appreciate other views


Thanks

@mbj666 my first pick for full size cans for Mojo are either AudioQuest NightHawks or NigthOwls (it is hard to decide which is better, you have to listen to yourself but this could be problematic since most dealers are not carry them any longer, you still can buy new ones on ebay from time to time). Sennheiser hd660s isn't a bad choice either, but is far from AQ in my book. If you like 660s or 600 I would also try some of Ultrasone (900i Pro for example). Audeze LCD-1 are also doing fine, especially if you are looking for smaller can size (but keep in mind those are open so no listening in train or plane unfortunately).

Having had the IE800, you must be accustomed to its sound by now, naturally you will compare any cans you buy to the IE800.
- from experience I know standard (un modified) IE800 have a boosted but very deep undistorted bass, it would be hard to match that in a can!
- IE800s also have a very extended and clean treble too, that is doable in a can, but it needs to be a good one.
- IE800s only flaw is their V shaped tone, if that is acceptable to you (wasn't to me, so I sold them) then you need something similar.
As to what can to buy, I don't know - but consider the above or you end up disliking one of them.
