Now coming back to Mojo 2...

Hello.

You are the same person from the Fiio Q5s thread, right ?

Do you still have the Fiio Q5s and if yes could compare it quickly to the new Mojo ? I am not expecting the Fiio to be better, just is it big difference in sound quality ?

@Julius Decimus indeed I am and I still have Fiio Q5s - kept it as reference AKM based dac + THX amp pocket size combo. I will be happy to share my findings as soon I will do all the listening with Mojo 1 vs 2. I'm still not ready to tell you how Mojo 2 sounds. Lucky those who after quick listening session made up their minds. For me this is far more complex.

EDIT: one thing I can repeat from Q5s thread is that comparing to Mojo 1 Q5s sounds dry and bit lifeless... due to different sound signature in case of Mojo 2 this is getting a bit more complex IMHO. Keep in mind that I loved Mojo sound signature so much that I skipped Hugo 2 and Qutest and got TT2 as an upgrade. H2 and Qutest were too bright for me.

Long shot question here that I have not spotted an answer to.
Does the Mojo 2/Poly combination fit in the premium Chord case from the 1st generation Mojo/Poly and if so do the buttons function within reason?
Looking for a stop gap solution as we await newer cases and I wear out Mojo 1

These guys show it at around 3:45 in this video:

I would be very happy with Mojo2 = Mojo + PentaConn (for double output power) + Dual channel Coax input (for mscaler)
That should be very simple to do. But I guess they will increase tap number, they always do with every new dac.

I just hope they keep the Mojo simple) and cheap, without all the garbage that infests the other chord dacs (except Qtest): bluetooth, remote, useless output connectors and buttons.

Chord's circuit topology doesn't benefit from balanced output at all, there's no need to add that.

Don't know how long this will stay up, or if they will honor the price, but Music Direct is listing M2 for $579 on backorder. you can put in cart and check out

lol

In a nutshell, these are two totally different products with one being primarily for desktop use and 6X the size of the other.

Please don't listen with your eyes or your wallet...

I can also say if MSB select is 10/10 mojo 2 is like 4/10 and Mojo 1 is like 3.95/10.

By listening with your eyes or your wallet?...

Can anyone compare centrance hifi m8 v2 with mojo 2?

My Mojo 2 and Poly is a good colour match. Not sure which version of Poly I have as Chord replaced it so many times (it’s also my 2nd Mojo 2 because of issues with the first - hopefully all is good with this one)

Is the case any good? The old hard case was great and didn't allow any movement. Is this case sturdy of bends? I am afraid that this case will not prevent the poly mojo unit from bending.

Well given the balls on both do not protrude above the housing, the case is leather (some flexibility?), open ended, the balls appear to cover the about the same width in the case, and the mojo models measurements are close in size there seems to be a possibility it could fit and function "within reason". You know, as a short term measure while waiting for the proper case. I was seeking a helpful answer but thank you non the less. If your answer is based on experience with the product you could post that. Just trying to protect my investment when out and involved in physical activity

I still have the Chord official Mojo/Poly leather case. I just put Mojo 2 in there, and it doesn't fit. The inside is sculpted to fit around original Mojo orbs, to hold Mojo in place. That prevents the case from closing. I didn't push too hard as I didn't want to compress the Mojo 2 orbs and potentially damage them.

I had the same concerns as I loved the Van Nuys case but the new case is actually nicer!!! Buttery leather, very tight and good square shape (straight sides and good corners)!

My intention was not to derive objective conclusions out of this subjective comparison. People seem to be enjoying the difference in SQ between the mojo and mojo2 as almost all of the owners unfalteringly pointed out. So I just thought if 8/10 and 9/10 comments really symbolize that much of a difference which people were enthusiastic about. I know it’s just a number but the guy only raised it by one point which is not much. At least not as much as the hype (which I don’t say is baseless) going on here.

I was very satisfied with Mojo 1, but bought Mojo 2 for £450 thinking I could return it if I wasn't happy. Taking that value into account, and the fact I am keeping the Mojo 2 and it has replaced my Mojo 1, does that objectively make Mojo 2 £450 better than Mojo 1?

Subjectively of course. Even the added value of £450 can be subjective

I have heard thay the poly is difficult to use, should I get a shanling m0 etc instead?

to be fair after the latest update the poly works as intended with no issues anymore
