In no way does Chord's comment = hating.

I agree.   As a producer, they obviously care about who resells their product and are authorized dealers.   I believe, rightfully, that that is in the best interests of the customers and allows them to provide superior service if needed.

I use dx80 to feed the awsome Mojo via coax cable.

I see that my dx80 cannot feed the Mojo via USB out. (I wish it did)

When I use my note 5 to feed mojo I see a slight increase of clarity (strange, as I thought it doesn't matter what feeds a Mojo as it does the heavy lifting.

Note 5 feeding mojo seems better then dx80 feeding mojo.

Also, when I feed mojo with dx80 I have the dx80 volume at 0 (zero) and manage volume via mojo.

When I feed mojo with note 5, I have to have the volume of note 5 (using onkyo player) at about half way up and also managing volume with mojo,

I'm scared to, but should I do the same volume management with dx80 (turn it up halfway and also manage volume with mojo?)

What way is best possible Quality with mojo as far as volume control goes.


P.s.

Note 5 with mojo is slightly *funner * and stronger (puncher sound) vs the dx80.

But I thought it doesn't matter what you feed mojo, please help kind friends

I received my replacement unit from Moon Audio today. Plugged it in to charge and I have the dreaded whining noise while charging. I'm using the same Anker Powerport 5, the old unit was dead silent while charging. This one whines with apple's charger and mac mini's usb port also. The old unit had the startup hiss issue via HO, btw.

I believe this unit is from the latest batch that Moon Audio received this Monday. I thought this PSU regulator issue was resolved in the earlier production cycles. s/n on the new unit is M0278xx, could someone from CHORD shed more light on this?
I just saw 2 other new members having the same issue few pages back.

S/N #0256XX, no hiss or charging whine.

 

[San Man]

  You mean like this?
 

What kind of a case is that?

Does it whine the whole charge cycle?  Mine will only whine for a bit at the beginning when I start charging and at the end when it's about finished.  As far as I know it's not a problem though and my battery life seems good so far.

It was there the whole time. Actually, it whines only when charging switched-OFF. As soon as I turn ON the unit with the charger still plugged, it goes away.

Can't hear mine charging with the headphones on and playing me some Meshuggah. In fact, can't hear any whine regardless of what I'm playing. What matters is that the background floor noise is pitch black, no?

Charging noise is not via HO. Just hold the unit closer to your ears while it's charging, switched off.

 

[sabloke]

I know, I know... You are using the Mojo wrong, it's a DAC, not an on ear headphone or something

 

[Mimouille]

  What kind of a case is that?   

An old casio camera case, but I will find better.

Ah I see. I ordered a lowepro case, hope it fits when it comes in

 

[lurk]

quick question, IF wrongly plug in charging to the usb input port...
damage risk is big?

It is not that the transport matter....it is the software, the operating system...even Zx2 didn't have a good transport of audio quality into Mojo, because it is ancient android 4.2, and Onkyo HF app could not transport higher than 16/44.1 to Mojo. My note 4 did an even better job to Mojo. Zx2 could only feed 24/96 to Mojo via stock player app, but that didn't even sound as decent as Note 4 feeding the same file to Mojo with Onkyo app.

So...it is the app, and the OS that makes the differences. Digital is 1 and 0, and it needs something to puzzle up for the final picture, and this something is the software. You can have all beefed up software, but the software is bad, then it is just bad.....

Mine is also whining a little at the start of charging for ca. 10 min then quiet and the wining starts again approx. half an hour before the led light goes off. I'm in the Netherlands and s/n is M0223xx
