I've only just bought the Mojo 2 but I'm using the FiiO LT-LT3 cable. Seems very flexible so imagine it will last. Anyone else with long term experience of this cable?

I've been using the cable (and w/ Mojo 2) since it was introduced, it's a fine cable. No sign of wear at all.

Also using the Fiio cable for the previous year, works perfectly fine

You can. But the bass would be anemic. Put HD800s on a cheap tube amp like TA-26 and you’ll see how much more low end you’ll have.
I don't particularly like tube amps, but was just wondering if the Mojo 2 has sufficient power to power a HD800S. I was going to use a parametric EQ like Equalizer APO to boost the lower end and tame the highs a bit.

The adapter still fits mojo 2, which is why you still have 2 micro ports on the mojo 2. Not sure if the adapter pack is still sold though.

No dont think it is but it should be. If they could just make the module available on its own i imagine they would shift loads. It would help a lot of folk out. Anyone at chord reading this.?.

HD800s has very thin sound and almost no bass on Mojo2.

Can I just clarify something if you wouldn't mind?
1. Am I correct in saying that a Poly will allow me to Airplay from my Mac and iPhone to the Mojo 2 at 24/48 Lossless if my local files are 24/48?
2. Am I also correct that if I use Apple Music it will be converted to 256 AAC first for some reason?

TIA
Yes on #1 (I use that configuration and it works). Can’t comment on Apple Music as I don’t use that service much.

Mojo 2 EQ is likely better

Second that. The one time I tested them I thought they drove them quite well (compared to the Burson desktop amp on hand). But to be fair - the base was somewhat "anemic" with both amps...

It sounds like the battery has shut down before the FPGA silently shuts everything down - this is very unusual. But the pop will certainly not damage your headphones.

My Mojo 2 also does this.. When playing music via Poly - Mojo 2, battery light is red (flashing red), it doesn't shut down quietly/elegantly but with a very loud pop - if I have sensitive IEMs like Campfire Andromeda this is deafening and I'm worried might damage my ears/headphones.. so I'm always anxious when I'm listening with low battery.

HD800S need bit of a high impedance output to warm them up. To simulate this with Mojo, increase subbass eq +5db, increse basseq + 1db, decrease midhi -1db (or -2db) and top high -1db. Mojo 2 has very good control for a portable with the Sennheisers, it just more of a tonality issue.

What EQ settings would you use?
If you are boosting the lower end a bit and taming the highs, id start with the shelf filters, #’s 2 and 3. Use judiciously of course. Can fine tune with 1 and 4, the bass and treble peak filters.
