If I could get my Poly to stream through the hotspot on my iPhone, that would probably be enough of a reason to buy the Mojo 2. Not sure I am willing to go through that nose bleed exercise again, though. Has anyone ever gotten that to work?
Yes, this works. Manually add the iPhone hotspot name and password to GoFigure and then connect Poly. I’m doing it now, listening to Tidal app streaming to Poly/Mojo. That doesn’t work for you?
Apologies if this has been asked before. Is the Mojo 2 superior in every way to the Dragonfly Cobalt ? I’ll be using it with a 64 Audio U12T and Sony IER-Z1R.

That’s what I suspected, unfortunately I cannot get a demo. of Chord products where I am. When I did the Cobalt demo. with the U12T it was a lovely combination. But the U12T deserves a much better portable DAC/amp. I’ll just have to leap of faith purchase one.
Turned Mojo 2 MagSafe compatible. Very strong magnet, able to hold up to 800gms, so I can use mojo as a grip. Makes it a lot more portable and convenient for on the go use.

I don't have a Cobalt, but I do have a DF Red, and either Mojo is better, but Mojo 2 will have terrific DSP functions like EQ and crossfeed, as well as a visible volume level. Mojo's also doesn't blast at 100% volume when the connection is dropped and reconnected, a problem that's prevented me from really using the DF Red very often. Mojo 2 also remembers its settings, including volume.

The advantage with the Cobalt is that it’s small and allows you to enjoy the music with the U12t. Whereas with the Mojo and Mojo 2, you’re sometimes distracted with its weight or the micro-usb inputs losing connection if you place it inside a bag. They perhaps have different use cases and as more competent players and smaller DAC devices arrive on the market, the Mojo 2 feels seven years old in your pocket.

My cobalt ended up in a drawer when I bought my Stellias and heard the Cobalts limitations. Haven’t tried it with the U12t yet but I bet the result will be similar. The Mojo 1 is better without a doubt and if the Mojo 2 has better treble that’s a better option still. On the go I use U12t with the ifi Go Blu, sounds decent enough (busy, noisy city) and easy to use.
1. Very impressive layering/imaging. Clearly a step-up from Mojo 1 on a technical level. Not Hugo 2 level, but very impressive for a small and affordable unit.
2. Mojo 2 timbre is spot on. Less warm than Mojo 1, but overall clarity is more engaging to me. Chord have done well to avoid the timbre from being overly dry and analytical.
3. Overall presentation is slightly more forward. Mojo 1 is more laid back, slightly smoother.
4. EQ function is well-designed, well-implemented, if slightly fiddly. Clearly a preference to any kind of software DSP, aside from Roon.
5. Balls are smaller. And they don't roll.
6. USB-C placement feels a bit comical; you do get the sense it was just stuck on to appease a certain demand.
7. Leather case is quite nice, though seams at the back slightly conceal USB ports. Not a big deal.
8. Pairs absolutely splendidly with Cayin C9 and Woo Audio WA8 amps, both amps give expression to the Mojo 2's technical chops. Can't recommend this enough.
9. Paris nicely with all the headphones I tried, from IE900 to ZMF VC.
