does the battery connector seem soldered to the pcb?

Sorry, it didn't show clearly in the photo. It is a connector; a low profile, vertical-mating type like a snapbee:

I reckon +3 to 6db in the lower treble and -4 to 8db in the upper treble will help to balance the majority of the darker Audezes out

I can confirm that it does give a very pleasant ear gain. Tried it with both LCD-X and LCD-MX4 and sounds fantastic. My profile is 6db @ 20Hz sub bass boost and 5db shelf at 120Hz and 2 db @ 3KHz.

Great, so it's possible to disconnect the battery. I must admit that I have not come across this connector before. All you have to do is lever the plug on the front.

Below are some photos (I just blanked out a couple of marks which I though could be used for identification) :
Now back together and listening to music again.

Thank you!!!

My understanding is that the desktop mode isolates the battery and stops charging it when it is full. Can i assume then that the charging circuit drives the output stage and the battery is out of the equation? If so can i also assume that removing the battery altogether would achieve the same result; as in the charging circuit driving the output stage?

I think we would need more detail from @Rob Watts on how the circuit works. If it checks the battery to see if it’s full, then bypasses the battery until the next power cycle, what would happen if there is no battery on the next power cycle? It may not irk at all. (No knowledge, just making up a scenario…)

I am not convinced on that yet. I left it off and connected overnight with the magenta light up. In the morning the mojo was slightly warm to the touch which indicates that something is going on even on desktop mode and when the mojo is off. Would like to know what

The same thing happens with the OG Mojo, battery removed and powered off. As long as the 5V power source is connected to the USB port, the charging circuit is active and the unit feels slightly warm to the touch. I suspect the same thing is happening with the M2 once the battery if full/bypassed. I think the charging circuit is active but as @jarnopp suggested earlier, we need Rob Watts to confirm all this, including if it is possible to operate the M2 with the battery removed.

when i see these dsp functions i think of lcd-i4.. maybe it is about time to rid of the audeze lightning cable?

DSP function is so intriguing that I’m actually considering to put my DAP for sale….and I have to admit I got my weakness for these marbles…The only problem is poly which goes for 600euros here and I read about many compatibility issues with it. Shouldn’t be the case for such an expensive streamer

I'm debating b/w Mojo 2 + Poly or one of the new Sony DAPS being released next week (the successors to the WM1A / WM1Z).

I think the rumors is that will be android dap which is a no go for me. I own the WM1A and is a great dap. The best I’ve owned so far.

First impressions after listening to a few songs using Sennheiser Momentum 2 is that the Mojo 2 is definitely an improvement to my ears. Much more clarity, feels musical and almost relaxed to my ears, less warm for sure but I'm good with the trade off. Will see what the DSP can do over the weekend, I'm impressed, Mojo 1 will be going up for sale...among those considering a Poly now as well

I expect new Sony Daps as the flagships will be a much higher costs than Mojo 2 and Poly.
