On classical music with soft sections, i hear it. I hear it also with the Shure SE535.

I'll contact Chord and see what they say about it. If it's normal then I'll return it and just stick with the Hugo. Else I will get it replaced.

I guess that if you have more hiss than with Hugo, it might be a fault somewhere. From what I read, it should have less than Hugo, not more.

So is the hiss normal with the Shure SE846?

I only bought the Mojo because people said it has no hiss with the Shure SE846.


Doesn't the SE846 come with a supplied inline volume control?
Use of this will surely kill any hiss.

I feel that android feeds mojo better than dx80 or various laptops, it may be due to simply Using a USB cable rather than coax...? Maybe

I didn't try android phone as a source, but I did try laptop and DX80 via coaxial.
From Laptop via usb (Dell Latitude) it sounds a bit smoother, from DX80 a bit sharper. Not a huge difference, and both are very enjoyable. I would be surprised, if an android phone would add much more to the sound.

So do you have hiss on your SE846s ? I wonder whetrher you have ever listened to some old analogue recordings or vinyl rips through them. That's a good way to get lots of nostalgic hiss and even a few crackles. I find it adds to my enjoyment of the music rather than being annoying


No hiss with dx80 to mojo to se846

My Sys Concepts cable arrived today, 2 days from Canada to uk! Amazing, and I couldn't believe how tiny it would be in a massive DHL envelope.
So plugged into RWAK100 and Mojo, with Noble Savants, and I'm a happy bunny. Also very pleased with DX50 and mojo with DSD files, but rockbox didn't seem as keen. And have the Sony A15 into mojo via USB, also very good.
But the RWAK100 and mojo is a great combo, great size, stacks well, sounds great.
Pelican 1020 case holds IEMs, mojo and RWAK stacked, and Noble BTS for non mojo days or gym.
Went with straight 2.15cm 90degree Sys concepts cable in 2.2mm diameter. Think a 90 degree cable plug is needed for the Savants, so guess I'll have to wander over to that thread.

so does it sound good with the mojo?


Sounds terrific. Crystal clear. However the SE846 also sound very good straight from the x5ii. If I was only ever going to use the mojo to go with x5/se846 I might regard it as overkill however I also use it with my laptop, my iPad, my full size headphones (dt1770) and portable headphones (dt1350). On that basis it is priceless.

Is the click in the same moment of the song every time? Does it click with all your phones? How about using other micro sub cables? I seem to remember people reporting clicks with some micro Usb cables but not others-what I'm saying is it wad the cable.


I have switched cables about. Will see what's going on soon I hope. Thank you for taking the time.
