Oh so, you were getting longer blue lights before? Hmmm.

Btw, what headphones are you using?

 
Yup, I think during the first 3-4 months of usage I was experiencing the expected discharge time before the LED light changes from one color to another. From month 5, I started experiencing the quicker LED light change from blue to green. Then the past few weeks have been very weird: even after leaving the unit charged overnight, there are times when immediately after turning on my unit I am seeing the green LED instead of the usual blue light.
 
I am just using my pair of custom IEMs (a five-BA driver unit from a local manufacturer; before that, a triple-BA CIEM from the same local manufacturer). I rarely use full-sized HPs with the Mojo, considering that I don't get the full listening experience with them; I prefer hooking my full-sized HPs (an HD600 and an HE-400i) to my desktop amplifier (a Lake People G109-A) with the Mojo used as a line-out DAC. Whenever I used my Mojo as a line-out DAC, I make sure that the unit is properly ventilated.
 

  Have you tried switching Mojo completely OFF, and then leaving it to charge?

 
Yup, I've tried that a couple of times already. The same problem occurs.

I absolutely love this gadget! 
Elegant, compact, good sounding, no fuss, not so many devices do that in this niche market 
When paired up with my er4s, it's purely blissful

Couldn't Chord offer a quality mains charger/ power supply that:
 
a/ actually charges the Mojo in the 4 hours quoted
 
b/ does so silently

I am not speaking for Chord - this is just me speaking, personally:
 
By the time Chord got a charger through the chain of distributors and retailers, each expecting their margin, they would probably struggle to get anywhere near the cut-throat prices of chargers on Amazon. Consequently, accusations would probably be hurled in Chord's direction, regarding presumed profiteering, even if not actually the real situation!

Neither of your issues is serious, if you charge your mojo at night, whilst you are asleep.
 
But if you don't like doing that, then the reasons for charging noise, are explained in post #3, the section titled Charging noise 
 
Regarding the time to charge http://www.head-fi.org/t/784602/chord-mojo-the-official-thread-please-read-the-3rd-post/20130#post_12728087 It is possible to use overchargers (I used the oppo VOOC charger) to try and reduce the charging time, but you do risk frying your electronics http://www.head-fi.org/t/784602/chord-mojo-the-official-thread-please-read-the-3rd-post/20145#post_12729283 .

Regardless of the charger being used, Mojo will not reach 100% in 4hrs, as the trickle charge kicks in around 85%. In all fairness, Chord says that 4hrs of charge will give you around 10hrs of playback and, not that it will reach 100% of charge.

If only mojo supported qualcomm fast charging

For anyone like myself, who was thinking of getting the AK T8ie MK2 for their mojo, Beyer have just announced their in-house version which should be available in October.

sadly the only price mentioned in china, is even greater that the AK version, but hopefully the european price might be more interesting.

I was happily using an oppo VOOC charger, but since Rob Watts mentioned the risk to the mojo innards, of voltages greater than 5V, I have switched to using a samsung phone charger.

Any word on an approximate for SD mojo module?

Any word on an approximate for SD mojo module?

 
 
No, there is no approximate ETA for the module, yet.
 
Chord are working hard on developing the module, but it's a complex circuit, with a lot of functionality, and is quite unique, so it will take time to develop.
 
Personally, I would not expect to see it before 2017.
 
 
The most recent comment about the module, from John Franks, was this:
 

  I can't tell you precisely what we are working on but when we showed the guys at Rune they said Wow and John Darko pretty much said the same! And for the technology driven guys the design uses a ten layer board. So it's an interesting little project.

It has all gone quiet since this flurry of excitement http://www.head-fi.org/t/784602/chord-mojo-the-official-thread-please-read-the-3rd-post/22245#post_12838589
 
I have assumed that the previous estimate of end 2016 when the module could be shown to the press, has now quietly slipped a few months.
In the interim, I am now watching how the launch of the Shanling M1 goes.

We can all remember how you are feeling. 

 
Don't rush the charging, but remember to savour your first listening session.

Strong are those who can resist the temptation to sneak a quick listen before the 5hr charging completes.
