I think the only thing bugging me is the amp section being a little underpowered for planars.

Personally, I would disagree entirely with this over generalization based on my experience, and comparing to much more powerful gear I own. What planar headphone in particular would you consider too difficult to drive?

I really like your technical design and execution of the Mojo DAC - I just wish I liked the physical design...

If I remember rightly Rob designs the code, board layout etc and John takes care of the metalwork design.

I don't really like lights that stay on.
If the Mojo had been packaged in a plain metal box, with a rotary digital encoder (i.e.- Volume Knob), and a discrete Power/Charging LED, I would have purchased it back in 2016.

I keep mine in a small zip bag. I'm sure you could work something out to cover the lights. Even cardboard...

Now thats not generic at all...

For me, the mojo takes a little bit too much volume for the LCD-X and starts to make my ears ring.

Strange. The LCD-X is quite efficient (20 Ohm, 103dB SPL/mW).

My XC and LCD-2.2 both have a lot of headroom, barely double red or barely double yellow respectively before it gets too loud for me. That said I’m not a fan of the XC from the Mojo (my early XC is tuned too bright for my tastes on most gear), but my LCD-2.2 sounds wonderful from Mojo. Also, other planar headphones I own play very well on the Mojo.

I guess we have very different perspectives and listening levels, which is fine.

Not a total solution and you probably already know this but from the manual...

Can I turn down the function lights? They are too bright.

You can turn down the brightness of the Chord Mojo lights by pressing the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously. The brightness will then cycle through two states.

I can get blue with a little red before it gets a bit too loud for me, but when connecting an external amp it’s a lot better for some reason. Would you know why?

Possibly related to how your headphones perform at low frequencies

Another Question. What Bufferlength do you guys have in UAPP? And what settings? I asking because I have sometimes short sound dropouts.

That'd be it, 100%. I'm still kind of surprised through, since the LCD-X are meant to be the easiest to drive and most neutral.

Can anyone recommend an excellent 6.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor? I know furetech make some fancy ones.

I'm using this one for my Grado Rs1 and I recommend it, sound is the cleanest, comparing to other, cheaper ones I have tried:

Hi, I purchased an M0 at London Canjam and have been using it with the Mojo this week and to me it sounds great and is easy to use.

Hi,
What cable do you use to connect
The dap to the mojo?

It looks like USB C to Micro USB — iFi make some cables for that.
