So, you (we) have options.

OTOH, there was a question, I give a correct and logical answer, and then we see that the original point was just to... You know what? I have better things to do.

The end.

the second 3.5mm on Mojo is redundant.
(so is the second USB port on Mojo2)

Just realised there might be another reason and @Rob Watts might be one step ahead of us. The expected life for a 3.5mm jack is 5000 inserts. For USB it is 10000 inserts. It seems to me the two jacks might be redundancy to extend the life of the jacks to match the USB.

two inserts a day, that makes it 7 years or so for jacks according to your link. You think they were thinking 14 years ahead for our benefit??
Mind boggles

My post was a little tongue in cheek but hey you never know.

For me, the second 3.5mm on my Mojo 2 will be very useful when I will start comparing my IEMs/Headphones.
Also, 20 seconds is, indeed, the time Mojo 2 needs to become Ready, after pressing the power-on button. Chord support confirmed it, as well.

If the second 3.5mm input was on the opposite side of the Mojo, it could be placed more easily in a bag. Many users have suggested this over the years. It’s one of the reasons right angle adapters are commonly used with the Mojo.

My Mojo OG took a spill a few years ago. One the 3.5 jacks took the brunt of it, making it unusable. The second jack sure came in handy then!! Not sure why the griping about a second jack. Only a couple of bucks to implement.

If I want to share my music with lets say my wife I'd better turn on speakers.

You're nitpicking. The Mojo has had dual headphone outputs since day one.

I thought this was an "appreciation" thread but there's an awful lot of unappreciation here. Personally, if the Mojo doesn't fit my requirements I'd go and find a dac that does. I don't get all the nitpicking.

Not really, and feedback can be both negative and positive, just like it should.

dual headphone outputs are OK if they are using different jack sizes so you don't have to use adapters if you using different cables. The point is that two 3.5mm jacks make no sense.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Maybe they're going after the Siamese twin market

Never knew dual headphone jack is such a heated topic LOL.

When people don't like something, they don't like it. They have every right to express it here or anywhere, period.

You like dual 3.5mm jacks, fine..good for you. I don't like it, why???? because most of my headphones are terminated in 6.35mm, 2.5mm and 4.4mm.

I now have to buy either the adapters or new cables. People who are coming from Mojo 1 may not have any issues, but people coming from other brands most definitely have the inconvenience of buying adapters or cables.

Because most of the DAPs or DAC/AMPs these days come with 2.5mm or 4.4mm jacks these days. A lot of AMPs come with 4.4mm or XLR ports even though they are not balanced just for the sake of users' convenience.
