Contact them; they are responsive.  

I have sent mine back and will have it repaired and will report back here with the updated cable.  

Thx Peter, I will wait for your thoughts before doing that. Secondly, not all iOS updates stop it from working. So I'm loathed to spend more money on it when I have the Chord accessory pack anyway.

  Per the current discussion, I've had my Mojo plugged in nearly exclusively for the last several months. Will unplug it and try to get a rough idea of the battery life and report back for those concerned.

 
Got around to doing this test this morning. Continuous playback lasted ~8 hours give or take a minute or two.
 
Edit: In case it matters I was driving Ether C 1.1 @ double red volume level

  I was just thinking about getting a Sony Walkman as a transport (and player on its own occasionally). Then I figured Sony Walkmans probably don't have bit-perfect playback, even through USB out.
 
I guess finding a Walkman that is bit-prefect is going to be time demanding. I was only thinking of one of the lower end models like A25, A15: which ever holds a good sized SD-card.

I'm thinking along the same lines... I'm thinking I should just get a cheap small android phone and run UAPP on it on bit-perfect mode strapped to the Mojo.

 
Yeah I think that's the way to go. Especially given most phones now have non-removable batteries, (which is pure cruelty from the manufacturers.) Just a cheap file transport that can support bit-perfect, has to be the best option. No point wearing out the battery on an expensive phone.

Bad news my Mojo kills my earphone the volume was pushed all the way up accidentally during connection to the phone Just 2  seconds the time I disconnected them but too late The mojo should have a safety feature specially the way as the volume buttons are  made!

This is a fear of mine. I almost didn't buy the Mojo because it had the potential to kill my treasured CIEMs!

I always plug in my headphones/IEMs after turning on the DAC and amp and unplug them before shutting off. Not only does it let me avoid situations like this, but protects my headphones/IEMs from the spike when turning these devices on and off.

Sage advice! :)
