It's the Mojo 2.

I meant a DAC who you can connect to an amp.

Chord really needs a 600 bucks desktop dac in their lineup.

I think Chord need a 600 bucks Anni without the speaker portion.

Why can't you connect a Mojo to an amp?

Why can't you connect a Mojo to an amp?

If you can, could you link me to a tutorial how to do it?

Does it not result in double amping?

Anybody else using HQPlayer with Mojo 2? I find this to be an absolutely remarkable combination, given that Mojo can decode PCM 768khz upsampled files.

Truly revelatory sound for me.

Unfortunately, the user experience of HQPlayer is garbage, but I found a workaround that allows me to use my preferred player on Windows, MusicBee, to stream to HQPlayer, which then outputs to the Mojo.

Highly recommend giving HQPlayer a listen. And thanks again to @GoldenOne for sharing your HQPlayer settings in another thread. It would've taken me a lifetime to figure out how to set it up otherwise.

Now if I could only figure out how to route Amazon HD Music to HQPlayer, I'd be all set.

Hi @rlanger. Could you please point me to this thread where @GoldenOne shared his HQPlayer settings for the Mojo 2?
Thanks

Actually, this is a commentary on someone else's settings. But if you search this thread, it might be in there somewhere.

Maybe @GoldenOne can point you in the right direction.

Thank you @rlanger, much appreciated. Will have a play about with settings later.

I'll DM you my comparison.

Can you DM me as well please? Or just post online as I guess many are interested : P

I use my Mojo 2 essentially as a desktop device.
As pointed out by msz38 above, all you need is a 3.5mm to RCA cable (I have one from QED, cheap and decent quality).
The amp is then plugged into the headphone socket and (I believe, not 100% certain on this) the Mojo 2 automatically goes into line-out mode.
On Mojo 1 you had to press the buttons in a certain way to activate line-out, but on M2 this is done automatically as far as I can tell.

My amp is the Lake People G109 and this set up works perfectly: Laptop --> Mojo as DAC --> G109 --> headphones.

To be honest I don't know how necessary this is as I've never had issues with the Mojo's built in amp, and the G109 isn't a TOTL monster or tube amp that is going to make a huge difference. But I like it.

My Mojo hasn't been out of the house since I received it and for all intents and purposes it's a desktop DAC/Amp to me. In my opinion this versatility adds a lot to its appeal.

There is no line out mode (auto or manual) on Mojo 2.

There is no line out mode, though you don't explicitly need one.
Just adjust the output level to about 2v and you're good to go.

In which case I would be double-amping. Not sure if this has any drawbacks. I haven't noticed any issues with SQ, but did notice the battery seems to drain a little faster.
What's certain is that the Mojo can be used on a desktop with a separate amp if desired.

How do you do that, please?
