No, the adapter doesn't convert the 3.5 jack to balanced, lol. It just lets you use the 4.4 plug with the system. You're getting the same output as 3.5mm. Actually, unless the adapter is 100% transparent (which it most likely isn't), you're losing a little bit of SQ.
Yes, I am aware that this is just a SE 4.4.. some said it increases power, as it combines two 3.5mm though(??). Some project in the future!

Yes, I am aware! That this is just a SE 4.4mm. Though, some said it increases power, as two 3.5mm combined to 4.4 (??). Just to check that point. Some project for me in the future!

Will not happen ever unless chord suddenly decides they want to build fully symmetrical balanced output - 4 output drivers.

Hi All, bought the below Lavricables to connect my Mojo 2 to my A&K sr25 DAP but it's not working.

REFERENCE SILVER USB C TO MICRO USB OTG ANGLED INTERCONNECT FOR ANDROID

Assume the cable is dead on arrival but maybe some others here have it as well (to rule out the cable would be incompatible somehow).

Thanks in advance.

There should not be any power increase, I agree. As 1/2of signals are summed up together. Just curious.

Don’t think there is any summing going on. The 2 SE outputs should just be driven from the same output drivers. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Seeing some of these 'pseudo balanced' adaptors which connect to both of the mojo's 3.5mm jacks makes me wonder if they're taking left from one connector and right from the other. If so, they'd be increasing the ground resistance, and increasing crosstalk - one thing which true balanced is intended to reduce. The effect is probably negligible, or maybe not when people can hear things down to -301dB.
Lol that would be hilarious if it did the opposite of what is claimed

No it(4.4mm SE) should not be any different from one 3.5 SE output... Product page describes added ground/ shielding. I wonder that would make any change 🤔 .

Hello! I have Mojo1 but wanted to ask if there are ways to use two 3.5mm out to make a pseudo 4.4 balance out, for better soundstage. I get that poly is one way to improve mojo sq and usability. Can we increase soundstage just like a decent dap?
Mentioned pw audio 4.4 adapter, I believe, is a single ended 4.4mm out using one of 3 5mm as a ground/shielding. Anyone noticed improvement of SQ with this one? Thanks!

HI there, so I got a Mojo 2, in germany, but I can't find a leather case for it anywhere. All I found wont ship outside of UK
Anybody knows a distributor who has them inside EU?
Thank you and cheers
For what it is worth, since Mojo warms up during use and more during charging and even more during charging and working, I chose not to use a case and sold mine!
it just cooks up inside the case - just don't scratch it!
Those who have Poly, have to have a case for stability.

That is a good point, so I actually only need a Poly Case as otherwise it would be hooked up in Desktop mode...
One question about that btw:

Am I right that if I use a USB-C Cable, it would transmit Data from Computer to the Mojo 2, but as charging only happens using the micro USB charging port, I need a second cable attached to have it charging all the time?
