Again, that is an assumption on your part. I haven't found any difference from burn-in or being left on for several hours before the Mojo sounds its best. Many users have reported the Mojo sounds great 10 minutes after being turned on, including the designer of the Mojo.

 
I haven't had a DAC that sounded the best after 10 minutes when turned on. Usually have taken few hours to 20+ hours.  With Mojo haven't compared yet.
 
Regarding burn-in, I have found Mojo's sound changes still a bit after 50+ hours.

I guess you'll hear what you hear then....

Hello Guys,
Can you tell me please, will the FIIO L17 cable fit to connect Cayin n5 to mojo via coaxial?

Again an assumption of yours that all DACs use the same technology, and will have the same characteristics.
 
99.9% of DACs use off the shelf ASICs, costing a few dollars each, so it is not surprising that you believe they share the same burn-in characteristics.
 
The Chord DACs in contrast use FPGA technology, so will have a different burn-in characteristic to one based on ASICs.
 
There is also the debate about whether it is the device that experiences burn-in, or else it is brain burn-in caused by the neuroplasticity of the brain allowing subtle rewiring of the neuronal pathways, to cope with the changed sound inputs to the sensors in the inner ear.

I have Gustard U12 USB-optical bridge between Mojo and laptop, so could be something else in the chain that is adjusting (can't be my brain )

Not interested so much in technology, I only trust my ears. Of course psychology plays some part in this, can't rule it out ( "$10k DAC must be better that 1k DAC", "burn-in is good" ).

Yes it'll work. No, it's not a 75 Ohm shielded coaxial cable, but it does work.

...only noticed this late last night:
 
 

 
 
over 2 million views... not bad for a 13month-old thread.
 
Maybe someone does like Mojo, after all

But its not at page 2000 yet so keep going...

Catching up with the six year old Grado Fan Club. One of the most popular 'real'threads (as opposed to novelty) on the forum after just one year!

c 26.000 vs 34,000 but give it 6-9 months or so

No other audio component seems to have captured people's imagination in recent years or received such critical acclaim

Also 10 year old HD650 thread better watch it's back.

Chord Mojo at Amazon.de shipped to US for under $400 (depending on exact exchange) after VAT is deducted - even better than buying from U.K.

Nice! A steal!

Desperately looking for a deal that is cheaper in the UK than US.
Struggling

Traditionally Beyerdynamic headphones have been cheaper here bit not so much now. Especially if our friends across the pond can buy direct from Amazon UK.
