Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

[piglet]

I have a question about the Mojo 2. When used with the iPhone do you still need the Apple camera connection kit as with the old Mojo or will the Mojo 2 plug into the iPhone directly?

I wonder if those with the old Mojo have found if the Apple camera connection kit has a negative impact on the sound?

Thank you.

So what can we power with this guy? HE1000SE? LCD-4z? LCD-5?

Looking for something to amp up at work without looking ridiculous at my desk, this might be the ticket.

Micro USB is short sided. Now if the Poly is updated, it will have to stay micro USB to be compatible with Mojo 2. At some point Chord has to bite the bullet and get with USB C. Now would have been a perfect time, but they blew it. I was considering this, but will skip it for something else.

Please is the 40,960 taps running at (what you call) full speed?

It would be nice to guage tap speed in comparison to Mojo and Hugo 2.

If it is full speed, it's four-fifths a Hugo 2, which is - .


(If I recall right the original Mojo was 38,000 taps at half speed.)

Too bad that Mojo 2 doesn’t have wifi capability, I don’t really see the new killing features of Mojo 2, maybe the EQ but many users don’t care.

Fun to read all the backlash, tbh since audio quality is my goal, I'm getting one and giving it a chance. I don't count on chord to be bleeding edge in technology, I count on them to deliver sound quality that surpasses other offers. At least I know they release this and I won't be seeing the mojo2 plus, mojo2 ltd, mojo2 rse, mojo2 lite in the next 6 months. The product was worked on for 4 years under a serious brand. That's it, no less no more. It won't be tearing apart 4.4 connectors, nor needing fw updates to correct overheating issues. Sometimes that reliability it's more than enough.

When you buy a racecar, you don't mind if it has USB c heck... Some don't even mind if it has traction control. You buy it for racing

Or debut Poly 2 with Mojo 3, all with USB-C. Problem solved.

Is the US pricing confirmed? Pre-orders are up for $725 but I can buy from a UK retailer for under $600 including shipping.

I highly doubt any UK retailer will send it to you.

And with an Mscaler it's 1,000,0000 taps... .

I wonder how the filtering circuitry and desktop power mode compares to the Hugo 2 which I'm currently using with the Mscaler?

I remember when Sony Z1R was launched, a lot of head-fier got it for cheap from UK
