Hi,
Has anybody tried Mojo2 with HMS 16x trough dual data coax mode?

I am interested in this too. I know most people consider it crazy not to use one of Chord’s more expensive DACs with the HMS but presumably Chord itself must think it worthwhile giving a spin and could be an unorthodox upgrade path for some. I have looked to see if the necessary cable exists but could not find any.

Not sure if this is what you need ?

Cable do exist as posted design by moonaudio. But i also have made my own dual coax when used hms with hugo2

Many thanks. Anyone got experience of the M2/HMS combo?

I don't remember reading that the Mojo2 can support the double data rate feed to the MScaler.
I may be wrong, but the Mojo2 might be only able to match the Hugo TT, with single data feed at 384K.

Best to check this, before you spend thousands of pounds.

I compared the Cayin N6ii with R01 to the Cayin RU6 and it didn't matter that they were both R2R from the same company. The R01 was just many tiers above. I did think the Chord Mojo was a small tier below the R01 so I am curious about the Mojo 2. Looking forward to seeing how the Mojo 2 compares to the R01.

Did you find this comparison?

Have the Mojo 2, had the others you mention. I sold the R01 as soon as I received the Mojo 2 (and I loved R01). The Mojo 2 actually shares a very similar tonality with R01 - neutral but musical. But Mojo 2 has much better dynamics together with better technical performance. Mojo OG is - IMO - a notable step down from R01 and Mojo 2.

Didn't realise that was an old post; see my remark above.

Page 7 of the M2 manual states ‘3.5 mm coaxial (single coax: tip: signal, sleeve: ground. Dual data coax [for use with Hugo M-Scaler]: tip: signal 1, ring: signal 2 sleeve: ground)’.
So it looks promising.

Any way to fix this or just have to learn to live with it? Picked up a used Mojo 2 earlier this month and didn’t even notice this until today, and retrospect see it in the original pic.

Hi guys, any idea about how a Zen V2 320 Ohm bud pairs with CM 2?

WHITE NOISE.

I have Mojo not Mojo 2. I normally use coaxial in from a Fiio M11 Plus so as to not have an issue with white noise. I had never experienced the white noise problem but for the cost of a nice little Moon Audio cable I thought I could avoid the risk so it seemed like a no brainer.

Anyway, I recently got a iPad mini 6 and have been using that with the Mojo a bit. The other day I was doing some A-B testing with iPad into the Mojo with a very firm fitting ddhifi C to Micro cable and was swapping out headphones plugs while very firmly holding the Mojo down on the desk. I am 99% confident that between the snug fit of the cable, me holding the Mojo and the fact the cable was still very well seated afterwards the USB cable was not disturbed.

Well I got the white noise, luckily I was using DCA Aeon so it wasn’t actually very loud.

Just throwing that out there for consideration.

To me I am 99% certain the only thing that was happening to the Mojo was headphone swapping and it seems that somehow triggered the white noise.

Unless it was purely coincidental and it just started on its own out of the blue, the same track was playing the whole time, there was no change in music source so that doesn’t seem likely but perhaps it could be what happened.
