Lol... Thanks bro, I'm hoping my X7 arrives in the earlier part of the day... But I can't be sure of course.

Beautiful device. I love the feel in my hand. I'm fairly certain it's a keeper, just because I like the look and feel. Originally, I didn't particularly care for the look, but in person, it's much nicer than the photos. It doesn't look tacky at all (no offense meant).

I agree.  It is built like a tank, is made to sit perfectly in the hand, and the colors signify not only input but sound.  When my wife and I are listening, I know exactly where her comfort zone is by color.  Interestingly enough, we use color coding for sensitivity in language, with blue being the most extreme (not purple) and red being...deception.  
 
Some criticism strains credibility. It's difficult to have so much extreme technology in hand, to hear so much more of music than ever before, and to search for some minor hyper-critical complaint.  
 
We're going to get a 2nd along with the module for the iPhone, when the cables are released. For her work, my wife has to plant herself in an office and spend hours reviewing files, so taking the Mojo with her works out nicely.  That it only takes 4 hours to charge is marvelous, and 8-10 hours use means an entire work day.  Perfection.

I wish my girl was into this stuff... I actually purchased the Mojo with a second intention. The dual headphone jack. I have really enjoyed watching movies in bed with IEMS through my phone especially. Just hear all the details, much nicer bass, etc. I just don't care for doing it much when she is awake, I'd much rather watch movies or shows with her. This would be perfect for us to enjoy the shows on a tablet or phone together.

On a second note, I really must applaud those of you that managed to charge the device without listening. I'm having a hard time not tur ING it on, just to see the colors.

Meh? I thought it was an very good detailed review that highlighted the excellence of the product?

Only comment that could be taken negatively was that Hugo at 3 times the price is slightly superior. Not a surprise then that Chord is still selling Hugo! I agree entirely that Hugo is more open sounding, but appreciate some people prefer the slightly warmer Mojo.

To someone who asked is Mojo the best desktop DAC there is, (just catching up on 350 posts!) no, listen to the Hugo TT. While the difference IMO between MOJO and HUGO is small, the TT really is a step forward.


I wasn't saying it was negative. Only that, when I first read it, it didn't seem to do much to advance the reviews out there. As a stand-alone, first review you read it is in fact detailed and good.

When I listened to it yesterday in store, Kings of leon sounded lovely and crisp through my jvc sz1000 with plenty of body behind the rest if the sound spectrum. Walking out the shop with a little black box for £400 felt a touch strange, missus said so where does the £400 go? Lol

Warrior, have you considered pairing your RWAK120b with the Mojo if you didn't like the X7?
I never in my wildest dreams would have thought I would relegate my RWAK120S to be just a transport for the Mojo and here I am. Hahah
Besides the slightly slow UI, I find that it's size, internal memory and expansion slots make it a very good transport. I will then bring my Pico Slim amp along just in case the Mojo goes flat while I'm still yearning for some good listening.

I think that the Mojo displaces the need for the Hugo but the Hugo TT is a viable option for a end game desk top rig...

Has anyone here used their Mojo with a rooted phone, running Viper4Android? It doesn't enable. I've tried switching to compatibility mode and enabled effects lock to headset. Anyone? Yes, I checked post 3.

 
 
give me a few hours and I will try on my NVidia Shield Tablet. I got my recall replacement and have been wanting to get some root access from her. once I do I will try it out. I am guessing XDA is the source of the .apk?
