Hi all
I'd like to tell you of my experience with the Mojo 2.
I bought it a week ago on the hope it would be a significant upgrade from my Xduoo XD05 plus. First impressions were great, not as good as my desktop dac/amp (to be expected), but really, really good for a small portable device. I listen to hi res files through media monkey on my android phone. After a while I noticed a faint crackle/pop noise as though the files were ripped from Vinyl, which upon replying the same track occurred at different points. These noises only happen on the mojo, through any source (phone or laptop) and through all 3 of my available usb cables.
Unfortunately once I heard this I couldn't "unhear" and it irritated the hell outta me. Today I returned the mojo to the shop for a refund.
I'm not sure how my experience aligns with the "white noise" issue people have described in previous posts.
On the plus side, the past week has re-ignited my passion for music. I'm definitely due an upgrade from the Xduoo, may have a look at the gryphon, or new Topping. If Chord were to release a Mojo 2.1 one day, with current issues addressed (and even a usb c charging port) it would almost certainly be too tempting for me to pass on.
