Ah is there a better way to start a day with such a morning package at your desk? Apparently Chord has been aware of firmware upgrade issue and I've got v3 installed - or at least so the sticker on the Poly box says. 6 hours of charging before I can check
@Olliver Many thanks for the tip! I'll be mostly using it with the DAP initially, but with laptop / tablet quite a bit too. Assuming I like the way it sounds of course! It's just turned up and I've got to go out to work!
Listen for longer, it's merely more refined and probably sounds like there is more bass or is warmer.
Noise problems add exaggerating effects that create a false sense of detail and clarity.
An easy test for this is a song with lyrics that are hard to understand. A DAC that's sounding more refined will make it easier to understand the lyrics.
Hopefully not. I've ordered my Poly and will report back when arrives - on back order (presumably because demand increased since launch of Mojo 2 last week)
Just looked at old pics of Mojo and Poly and they are identical in colour. So unless they have modified the colour of the new batch of Poly's (with 3.0) to be the same different shade of black as the Mojo 2 looks like everybody will be in the same boat. Not a great look from Chord if this is the case.
From the Chord website there is this pic - looks like M2 and Poly both same shade?

Just ordered one ! EQ (and crossfeed) are really great changes on the first one (that I have)
Looking forward to try it on headphone and speakers
Just wondering
On basic old digital EQ (winamp?), I remember it was way better not to amplify frequencies but diminish them : I mean to have +2db in bass you would decrease by 2db everything but bass on EQ and raise volume on speaker by 2 db. Applying +Xdb on the "digital EQ" was making sound horribly distorted.
I wonder what was that great technology of digital filtering and amplifying...
No it's not the same - I am not limited by transmitting to the DAC as you can't go above 0DBFS. With the UHD DSP I have built in 3 overload bits, so you can indeed go over 0DBFS. No setting will induce clipping within the UHD DSP. But - the last stage is the volume control, and you need to remember that adding a boost in the DSP means that you may have to reduce the volume to ensure no clipping at the output. So with no boost, Mojo 2 can clip when the volume is set to white. If you were to boost 20Hz by say +3dB, and the bass shelf by +3dB then the total boost at 20Hz is now +6 dB. That would mean that 20Hz could clip with volume set to violet or higher and not white now; that said, I have never run the volume anyway near violet!
