Hi,

I have a Mojo Always connected to a USB charger because I use the Mojo as a desktop DAC.

So the battery is FULL.

After 20-30 minutes of using the Mojo, I hear a whistle-hum sound from the Mojo (similar to the sound-whistle that I hear when the Mojo is in the last part of a charge).

Some of you using the Mojo like me (Always on charge, for desktop use) has the same issue?

Could I solve changing the charger (it's a good Anker 4A) for something else?

Could I solve using a powerbank instead of a charger?

firstly, its not a good practice to use it like that as ur battery will degrade quickly

ur usage is similar as mine as i use mojo as desktop dac last year. Simply open the 8 penta screw and disconnect the battery terminal wire. I practice that and even after 7 month the battery is good as new, easily last 8-9 hour

Doing so will probably void the 1-year manufacturer warranty, right?

Li-Po's don't like to be full, let alone always at a full state. You're killing the battery.

So it will?

I was just buying the right screwdriver as described above.

What do you mean with “let alone always at a full state”? Could you explain me better?

Yes, opening it would void the warranty (see post Post #39497). But it's only a 1-year warranty. How long have you had the unit? And you know it works just fine...

I just mean having it be at 100% charge for long periods of time, not good. Lithium ion batteries don't like that in general.

why it would? didnt see any seal tag on the chassis
the process is just as simple as installing ram on mobo, not like u modify anything.

 

[musickid]

there is a mojo partially covered image on chords facebook so i wonder if mojo 2 is here?

 

[DanielListening]

Is there a way to buy new batteries for the Poly? My Mojo is fine but the battery on the Poly is crap. I moved so I am no longer asking my dealer for support and the Canadian distributor told me to essentially "get lost." Tried Chord but they didn't really follow up 100%.

Generally, manufacturers wouldn't want their customers to open the protective cases of their products and muck around with what's within.

For the people here that have heard a R2R DAC around the Mojo's price (like the Audio GD R2R-11), do you find the Mojo as full and natural sounding as a good R2R DAC?

I'm asking because I'm wondering about the comments of R2R sounding fuller, smoother and more natural than DS, but I know the Mojo is not a standard DS design, so I'm wondering how it compares to a good R2R.

Maybe if there's a fuller sounding R2R dac out there around the price of the Mojo, I'll try it out.

I did this method and found that it makes the humming/buzzing noise almost instantly. I tried multiple chargers and then all gave the same result. Can you confirm your setup does not have the buzzing and what charging volt/amps you are using? I would greatly appreciate it!

Is their website hacked!?

It refers me to a weird survey every time I enter.

 

[DanielListening]

Pretty sure it's hacked. I let them know a couple days ago.

It’s back up now.
