Thank you.

Hi every body and happy new year,
I'm a newbie here and tried to find a solution for my problem, but failed. Sorry if its addressed before, but I'm having occasional disturbing jitters in chord mojo accompanied by rapid flickering and flashing of lighted buttons. It's not a hum but rather a consecutive high pitch scratching type rapid noises.
This usually happens with DSD 128 or higher resolution music files. It doesn't happen much, and it's random. A specific track may play flawlessly now but encounters the problem the next session.Restarting mojo and/or changing usb port usually solves the problem, but temporarily. First I thought there's a problem with processing speed of my laptop which I usually use its usb port to feed my mojo. But I get the same problem with my Xiaomi Mi5s smartphone as well. I assumed a usb isolator might be of an answer, but do smartphones need a usb isolator too?

In my experience, its most likely cause by using standard usb audio driver by windows 10. Its not well compatible with Mojo.

u can try installing this. and reconnect ur mojo.

I have read so many posts about 'dealer inside information' for various Chord new products during the last six months, and they have all turned out to be false info, so I now treat such posts with a 'pinch of salt'.

What can be confirmed is that Chord have promised 'a parade of new products' this year, and that the full Chord team will be at Canjam New York . https://www.head-fi.org/threads/cho...fficial-thread.831345/page-1182#post-15396344

Some of us are assuming that means the 2Go will be the first of the parade at Canjam.
This post implies that a DAVE 2 will not feature https://www.head-fi.org/threads/watts-up.800264/page-108#post-15396995

But your guesses are as good as mine for the remainder of the parade.

Does any other DAC exhibit this problem?

If it's a new Mojo, and it were me, I would be returning or claiming under warranty immediately.

Sorry for late answering,
Unfortunately I've no other DAC.
I bought it from a third party, sealed, but now the warranty period is finished.

Please tell us:
1) which Chord Mojo windows drivers are you using?
2) which app/program are you using for playback?

To me it looks like the Dsd file is being streamed out incorrectly. The Dsd file must be played out in Dsd-over-pcm (DOP) format.

Edit: May not be a driver or app problem if it is random.

I've used the latest drivers, Foobar2000, HQPlayer, JRiver MC on my laptop and HiBYMusic and FiiO Music on my android 8 phone. I get the same jitters/light flashing randomly with higher res files, and using Native DSD or DOP output makes no difference.

Email support@chordelectronics.co.uk and hopefully they will be able to propose a way forward.

I remember there were quite a few owners who did post about using an iPod.

There is also a large section in the FAQ in post #3, about connecting the Mojo to iDevices (including)
★
IMPORTANT!: Please be careful with the iOS public betas - they can cause crackling sounds when using Mojo with the CCK

(NB: please also view the VIDEOS section!)

IMPORTANT : It is YOUR responsibility to make sure that the cable you are buying correctly fits the connectors on your equipment. None of these links are official endorsements.



Mojo is not Apple MFI-certified (it doesn't have an Apple CCK/MFI chip integrated inside), so connecting Mojo to an iDevice requires a cable with an included MFI chip. This is generally a CCK Lightning to USB Camera Adapter (which must be linked to the male-USB-to-male-microUSB cable that's included with Mojo):


↑
I believe a requirement of using the camera kit Apple chip inside your product is complete design disclosure to Apple engineering hardware software the lot. We might be a bit mad but we're not totally crazy. If we had not much technology to hide. Say if we were just using a industry Dac chip we wouldn't have a problem in doing this, but for us today it's a very different story. This is why we will soon offer a plug in module that swallows the official Apple Camera adaptor leaving just the Lightning tail to plug into the I phone.
↑
Apple CCK is a must unless you have a specialty cable with the Apple MFI chip inside.

Your connection should be this:

So I am getting an error now saying accessory uses too much power when i try to plug in the mojo to my ipod touch.

 

[miketlse]

The 'uses too much power' error message rings a bell in my mind.

Yeah that's the error

I’ve used the mojo with the cck cable and either iPod touch or iPhone for quite some time and not seen this error. I do get this error from some other DACs, so in those cases I put a powered hub between them. I recall there have been different model numbers of the cck. The one on my desk here is A1440.
For stacking the devices, the mojo accessory pack is nice, as it clips right into the mojo and makes it the same length as an iPod touch.
