Assuming that half of the roughly 20% price increase is Covid/parts-shortage related, what does £50/$60 more buy? Bigger battery? Slightly more powerful FPGA? Both?
The usb-c port and a desktop mode with the old artix used like the HUGO2?
No places for more arrays. So the Hugo2 would stay better and the MOJO2 would stay on the warm side.

Anyone using Chord Mojo connected to a speaker amp? Also, what was the msrp of the Mojo 1? 500usd? The Mojo 2 at 725usd I believe.
I did test the Mojo as input to my 2 channel stereo amp and loved the result so much that I bought a used CHORD 2Qute to replace the $4000 DAC I had in the system before.
Mojo is not ideal for continous use though, since it's not really designed for a "desktop mode" and there were mayn reports of premature battery failure when used continuously charging. You can check the Mojo thread for details.

Pull the battery cable in the Mojo, done...

Phew it’s not on the same price range as the Hugo, considering Chord pricing logic…


Guys the M button is for turning the unit upside down and setting it to Wumbo.

Subscribers to Hi-fi World magazine can read the review - it's arrived through the post. I'm not a subscriber.

more balls?

I made a further edit. It was more of a "no comment" commentary on how little the design has changed compared to how the Hugo 2 or the Hugo TT evolved. I get the "if it ain't broken..." principle, but still. How superficial of me, since it's all about the sound, right?

I hope this Mini M doesn't thin out the warmth of Mojo.

I guess it might soon be the perfect time to buy the Mojo 1 at a bargain price. The Mojo 2 takes nothing away from the Mojo 1. :)
You know this for a fact? Have you heard both? Also, where you gonna find a Mojo at a bargain price, they were discontinued and are out of stock virtually everywhere.
