I have same issues with mojo.
I tried iphone7, ipad air (onkyo)
Mac mini and Macbook Pro Retina 2014 (core i7 2,8Ghz) with audirvana and other players
playing dsd128 and dsd256 have some stops/stutters. in random times.
even if files are buffered.
I asked Chord about this issues, they said it's problem with cable.
I tried different USB cables and finally bought Mojo Cable Pack from Chord - but problem still exists.
I'm talking about extremely loud alien noise that plays instead of the music every once in awhile, not stuttering.
As for stuttering, here are my original comments from five days ago. Using a virtual RAM drive fixed that for me.
It would appear my computer can't handle DSD well despite having good specs. I already have foobar2000 configured to load tracks into memory, but the music stuttered frequently. Loading the files into RAM drives fixed it, but even then it still stuttered when I did other things on the computer. (Yet another reason why I want a dedicated music server and network player.) This situation forced me to sit there and focus more on the music.
A few times the DAC glitched up and played terrifying alien noise so loudly I had to take the headphones off. Is this a known issue with the Mojo? It only happens with DSD.
