Chord Mojo 2 Thread ___ [product released January 31, 2022 -- starting on page 95 of thread]

My mojo is now wireless without Poly. This provides so much flexibility and is a must have for on the go use if you don’t care for SD card.

It uses XDuoo 05BL Pro internals in a custom designed module created by @skedra

Very interesting, and from what I see it supports LDAC, as well? The problem is, it is not currently available neither on Amazon UK nor on AliExpress!
Is there any other similar device?

It supports LDAC, not much use to me with my Apple ecosystem but great for those who can use it.
You’re right, very difficult to get hold of it. I am not sure if there are any other similar products, best keep an eye out. Sometimes pop up on eBay

I've heard the xduoo module is end of life, unfortunately...

I''m looking for a decent usb cable to connect the mojo to my pc, could be a good choice this one?

and maybe a silly question, but using usb c or micro would be the same thing?

USB C is bit more stout than Micro USB, but both ports do the same thing, pass data from source to Mojo 2

does AAC too.

As I said before, Topping does one, with optical out.

I had ordered it from Amazon UK a month back but got a response from the seller order cannot be fulfilled because of the Shortage and got a refund. Ended up ordering from Amazon US and shipped to the UK. I can see it is no longer available on Amazon US now.

It works well with Mojo2. I can barely distinguish between LDAC and wired for streaming from Apple Music on Android.

Mind sharing a link of the device you are talking about?

Perhaps this -----> BT receiver

Yes, this one.

That recommendation is inline with Rob Watts' statements that a good switching mode power supply is better than a linear power supply. His explanation was that the noise caused by the SMPS is very easy to filter, but the linear power supply lets mains noise passs through which is virtually impossible to remove.
I'd personally go for an IFI iPower supply, this is what the Chord Hugo 2 is delivered with. Niot cheap, but if I remember correctly Rob Watts stated that this was the best Chord could find.

Cheers!

Hugo 2's charger is a simple generic one with the simple intent of charging the battery. It's Hugo TT 2 where I spent a lot of time on the PSU selection, and getting it so that unplugging and listening via the super caps meant no change in SQ...

To use mojo2 directly with sensitive and easy to drive fullrangers (Fostex 8" in a back loaded horn enclosure), would you expect to hear an appreciable difference in "desktop mode" with a LPSU as compared to a simple decent SMPS (i.e. Mean Well)? Provided mojo is fed by a well insulated streamer (usb/coax) or optical.

Thanks Rob. Any words of advice on how to best power the Mojo2 in desktop mode?

I can't give universal advice, as each desktop setup is different. In most circumstances it won't matter, you can use any charger and the difference is so small as to not to worry about. So easy way is to simply disconnect the charger, and if it makes no SQ difference you are good to go. If it is significantly different, and you want better performance then use a powerful battery power bank and re-charge the powerbank overnight, and disconnect the powerbank from the mains when using Mojo 2.
