1000+ Head-Fier
Bought it some days ago, and I'm a bit disappointed. I had for a while the chord mojo 1, and for me was perfect except for the noise coming from the phone without airplane mode. Clearly, a problem that was limiting the experience. At the price of 200\300 € used is ok.
The mojo 2 is better on this aspect, but loses the line-out function, and adds nothing to the packet. I don't care about strange DSP functions, if I want to use EQ I do it via software. Power output is really low, not enough to properly drive headphones I have at home.
At this price range at least 1 W at 32 Ohm was legitimately desiderable.
No sense for me to prefere it over a good DAP at the same price, so I neither discharge my phone.
Still the same strange 2 outputs without single volume control.
Zero accessories on the box, just a little cable, neither suitable for smartphones.
I honestly wouldn't buy it again. Not a real upgrade over the mojo 1, instead just a very costy "fix" of the noise audible while using the smartphone connected to the net ( even if music was locally stored ).
Did you expect to buy a power plant in such a small dac/amp design ? My mojo properly drove even high impedance cans like HD600. EQ is no match for properly implemented DSP functions, it’s a huge bonus for folks who can easily shift the signature with just few button clicks and it could be an upgrade only for that reason.
Phone is a noisy device when using internet and many such dac/amp’s suffer from EMI attached to it.
On it’s own I do not see mojo2 as a replacement for DAP, it is too much of the headache to keep the connection in place and still try to use phone on the go…It’s a portable dac/amp to connect with computer when you are travelling/ moving your workspace in the house or just need a small sized well performing desktop device. I never had any bad experience while using mojo with laptop.
For a pure portable use poly is necessary and to me this combo blows any DAP that I have tried
