Thank you very much! I have the POCO F2 Pro and I am using this case. Do you think it will work with my case? What about this holder? Will this one work, as well?

For me, these products are extremely important in my decision to purchase the Mojo 2 or not. Because I will (almost) never sit down on a chair and listen to the Mojo 2, if I will buy it. I will need to carry it in my pocket, while doing various things inside the house, after work. I do not have much time to sit down, besides when I go to sleep, and in those hours I'm just watching some Netflix.. I would go for the ifi Gryphon, as it has Bluetooth and I won't have to carry my phone on me, but I am hesitating due to the sound quality of the Mojo 2 + its DSP. I still don't know...

This magnet is for MagSafe compatible iPhones but I have seen android cases with similar functionality so you could find a different case with MagSafe style magnets and then this should work. Not sure about the other magnetic ring you sent, should work since MagSafe compatible but I don’t know how thick it is to offset mojo’s feet else could be used with mojo leather case.

You could also look at poly if BT is important to you. While Gryphon looks good on the paper, Mojo 2 will surely outclass it. I have TT2 for desktop use and I won’t say mojo is close to it but I don’t miss it when I am listening to mojo. It is still a cumbersome setup for on the go use but the performance is such that I feel little compromises are acceptable.

Just in case anyone was curious the M2 pairs with the CA Cascades superbly. The Cascades are fantastic cans anyway but with the M2 they really shine. The M2's EQ and crossfeed allows you to dial-in with amazing accuracy. They may not be to everyone's taste but I love the rich bass with the smooth mids and highs. Any criticism of the M2's crisper highs than the OG disappears with the Cascades.

Can anyone compare it with ifi gryphon? Choosing between them w/o any chance to demo

I have the ifi gryphon as a review sample and will post my review and comparison against mojo 2 the next week

Oh, can you please do it faster?

Also, in your Gryphon testing, can you please talk about its Bluetooth strength? For example, I am currently using the Qudelix 5K and I can listen (LDAC 990) to my entire property, upstairs/downstairs, by leaving my phone on my desk (1st floor). No drops/disconnections, ever. What happens with the Gryphon?

Thanks in advance!

I think one can add Bluetooth capability using XDUOO-05BL Pro. Below is a link to the post where Bluetooth is working with Original Mojo. Should work with Mojo2. Surely it's not as neat but gets the job done.

Come on! it was very neat - I was proud of that.

Indeed it's neat and thanks for original post .

I meant it would be so good of Chord or a third party could come up with an attachment similar to Poly but smaller and cheaper. I am waiting to get this done. I have spent this month's quota on Mojo2

WOW!
I mean double WOW.
Best standard BT I ever get is two rooms, max!
on LDAC , one room would be lucky.

I've never been able to keep LDAC actually working stably at 990kb/s over more than 50cm. It appears to work at 990 over longer ranges, but if forced to run at 990 only, it drops out.

Any idea about burn in time ? Sound signature is of very relaxed nature. Vocals have a kind of " stress free " quality to it. More holographic and better depth perception than original mojo. Vocals are intimate and kind of communicating directly to you. I tried with r70x and orange volume was enough for most songs, indicating plenty of output by mojo 2. R70x is such a gem of headphones that with mojo 2 it can put to shame many Uber ultra expensive dac+headphone set up to shame. I tried with uapp android bit perfect usb input and xduoo X10 optical out, worked flawlessly. EQ is so so clean that you think the song has just changed the tonality as if the effect was in the recording itself. Any idea why strapping rubber bands were not supplied ?

From a hardware perspective, I'd say 0.0 hours. However, it takes quite a while for your brain to assimilate how the Mojo (both 2 and OG as well as other Chord DACs) is extraordinarily exact in its timing. Rob Watts has written on this subject in this thread and others.

For me, it took me about a month after I got the OG Mojo before my brain finally settled in. Enjoy the ride!!

As for the rubber bands, dunno
