OK, I'm feeling stupid asking this, but here goes.  If I want to connect my Asgard 2 to my Mojo, would I go Optical in to Mojo > then the "Headphone Out" to the asgard's RCA ports?  I guess this is the only way. Anybody have a picture of this?

You need a 3.5 to rca cable. Then set your mojo to line out. Hold volume buttons then power on device.

Only the additional laser ablated coding for better product security across regions other than typical production related modifications that play no part in the operation of the product.


I would think this coding would be better placed on the bottom of the Mojo. Regardless, thank you for producing such an amazing sounding product.

I agree. It would look a lot better on the bottom near the label. However, I think the top piece is more difficult to copy and machine, etc.,  so that may be why it's there.

Does this make it so that the "Coax" port is line out or....


The coaxial is a digital input, not a line out. Actually, you need to understand that the Mojo is using the line-out 100% of the time to drive headphones with the headphone outputs, and it's the only way to connect the Mojo to another piece of equipment. There is no separate amplifier to bypass in the Mojo. The line-out preset is simply a volume shortcut to 3V output. Don't worry about double amping because you aren't. You can read more about the Mojo's output stage in the third post - Rob has shared a lot of info about it.

Curious what you are driving that you'll need to connect an external amplifier to the Mojo.

Well, it's complicated. I have a Bifrost connected to my Asgard 2, but I prefer the Mojo. I would like to have the advantages of the Asgard 2 in my computer system (volume control for my speakers and headphones, also If i removed headphones from 1/4" port it switches to speakers) while also using the Mojo. Computer > Mojo > Asgard 2 > Nighthawks/Encore/TH-900MK2 OR JBL350 Monitors

I know tunes or tracks get recommended and put up here now and again. Anyway a rock track here called Living on a Knife Edge by from their 1981 Hawkwind album called Sonic Attack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlLE5XFDt0U
 
I re-bought Sonic Attack just recently and have played it back to back so many times I lost count. The album Sonic Attack is equally as brilliant, however I omit the title track Sonic Attack, which is track one. I ripped it excluding that track, coz I not so keen.
 
Also there is an extended version of this track here. Living on a Knife Edge (Extended Version). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP8kEMoYIEQ
 
On the album, the second track has copy voices all mixed together and it comes over excellent with Mojo. Even if the music is not your taste I think it has a lot to offer through the Chord Mojo.

Hey guys, I just bought the He 560. I was wondering if the mojo alone would be good enough to power these comfortably or if I should consider purchasing an amp and use the mojo as a dac alone. Any advice and suggestions on an amp if required would be appreciated. Budget approx 200 usd.
Thanks
