Of course.
assuming you have Windows laptop. Use Direct Out.

I'm not sure I follow. What do you mean by "Direct Out" exactly? Is that a specific configuration/setting, or do you just mean using the default state in windows when connecting a DAC via USB?

If the latter, this is precisely why I am asking. When simply plugging in via USB and using default settings, the Windows system-wide volume control is not functional. The only way to control master output volume is using Mojo's volume buttons. I'm on Windows 11 btw. Appreciate if anyone can shed some light here.

this is what you need for set up

Please pardon my ignorance, but what is a locking spdif?

No need to excuse your ignorance, it's my fault for using technical terms!

So SPDIF (or AES3) is a protocol that is used to transmit digital data via optical or coax. The SPDIF receiver (in my case coded inside the FPGA) takes the SPDIF and converts it to data so that it can be used. To do the conversion, it has to lock into the SPDIF signal - and it's called locking because you need a way of creating a clock that is synchronised to the incoming SPDIF clock. Once locking has a occurred, the SPDIF receiver can then decode the SPDIF data. SPDIF receivers create a flag (or called a net or wire) that tells the system that there is valid SPDIF data available. I create my own flag, and use this to switch the different data sources within Mojo 2, and to disable the auto shutdown feature. Now the SPDIF lock flag just says that it's a valid SPDIF signal, and that it's locked into it. It tells me nothing about what the data actually is - it might be silent, or music playing.

I hope this clarifies.

I meant Direct Sound.
Sound output devices show up under Windows OS as "Direct Sound" version or "WASAPI" version, and if you have installed the ASIO driver, then you would have "ASIO" version too.
Direct sound uses Windows mixer, therefore volume control or other DSP would be active.
The other two are "Exclusive Mode" where Windows mixer is bypassed. The player would have direct and complete control over the sound device.
It means no OS interferences, including any OS DSP. The player can also change bit rates and bit depths too.

hello everyone,
I need to better understand this graph please :

If I understand well, if I put in this example in red: +9db on the 20Hz, there is only the 20Hz which are touched with a light overflow towards the 125Hz. But if I put +9db in the 125 only, it will necessarily also boost the +20Hz to 9db? so if I put +9db on the 20Hz in addition to the 9db on the 125Hz: what will happen? I would have the right to 18db on the 20Hz and 9db on the 125Hz? is it really that? or I have it all wrong?

Thank you in advance for your feedback

It would be useful if Chord produced an interactive FR graph on their website which included the 4 buttons (maybe a little mock up of the mojo2 interface?) which shows graph changing as each button is pressed. Genius idea that should be pretty easy to implement. Why not go the whole hog & make it into an app for android / apple ?

Chord, you can have this idea from me for £15k, or one of item of each product from your current product range...1x mojo2 & 1xhugo2 & 1xpoly etc etc etc up to value of £20k

I'm not a greedy man. hit me up.

@Rob Watts , make it happen !

Can I have your old one, J ?

When it happens, yes you can!

you pay p&p though, I'm no pushover.

Exactly, if you want the exact settings to bring them back into any software EQ to see graphically how it performs, they're as follows:


Peak, Freq 20Hz, Q Factor 0.71 (Red)

Low Shelf, Freq 150Hz, Q Factor 0.71 (Yellow)

High Shelf, Freq 2400Hz, Q Factor 0.71 (Green)

Peak, Freq 20000Hz, Q Factor 0.71 (Cyan)

Sorry not sure to understand, to sum-up for exemple : if I set +9db on 125Hz "Low Shelf", it will also automatically set +9db on 20Hz ?

obviously yes, the 150hz filter (not 125hz I don't know why Chord wanted to write 125hz, but from my measurements it is at 150hz) is a low shelf filter, therefore it will also affect frequencies from 150hz and below, to give you an example , if you wanted to set the red filter to +9db and the yellow filter to +9db, you would end up with +18db at 20hz

@subwoof3r look my post on this page https://www.head-fi.org/threads/cho...ge-95-of-thread.885405/page-443#post-17374518

here it is,

1. Low Peak -9 - Low Shelf +9

nice thanks, can you please try Low Peak +9 and Low Shelf +9 just to be sure ?
many thanks in advance
