You can already stand on a Mojo2 without damaging it, what would a bit of hard plastic do?

The shell is prone to nicks and scratches. I've had mine only a few months, haven't dropped it or even so much as bumped it into any hard surface, but it's already got a fair number of blemishes. I don't mind, but I imagine many other folks might.

The leather one is quite nice and does do a good job protecting mojo2 from drop damage. Pricey, but worth it.

Valentinum on Etsy does nice work as well.

Prevent scratches. There are plenty of things in my work bag that would happily scratch a Mojo through a flimsy leather wrap.

He does custom stuff too.

Simple question: I use a Mac to play files that have various sample rates. What should I set the output sample rate to, into the Mojo 2, for best results?
As Mac owners will know, the Mac does not auto switch bitrates but general consensus is that the resampled output is excellent.
It’s fixed at 32bit depth but the sample rate can be set as required

There's not a way to automatically switch with Apple Music by itself. You should check out Bit Perfect. Years ago, I used an early version of it and it worked great with iTunes, but I've not tried the current version.

There are alternative music apps that will auto-switch sample rates. hth

There’s also this utility app:

I tried But Perfect but it hasn’t been updated for years so isn’t great nowadays. However I did see measurements about the Mac that pretty much say the answer is to set its output at the highest rate your files are, so mine would be 192Khz. The upshot is that resampling algorithms are so good, you can't hear the difference.

I do wish Chord would release a sturdier hard case for Mojo 2 like they did for Mojo 1:



Has anyone found anything like this for Mojo 2?

My Mojo 1 case met a new friend from Dremel and decided to fit the Mojo 2

You should know by now saying "You can't hear a difference" here on HeadFi is a big trigger for a lot of members.

I can't hear a difference but I still want the file decoded and passed through at the original bit-rate, crazy I know but OCD rules apply.

Might hinder heat dissipation a bit, during summer, I suppose, but it'd be nice to be able to keep scratches off the device during the rest of the year.

It doesn't get scratched really

Specially charging while playing!
Yes, I have always warned against thick covers for Mojo and now Mojo2.
A simple leather skin, keeps scratches away, while still allowing heat dissipation.
If anyone needs a bullet proof case for their audio eq. , it says a lot about them, and how they handle them.

Concur - I bought the Chord leather case and it's great. Perfect fit and all the protection from scratches you need.
