I just bought a Mojo and the only way it pairs with my Sony Xperia Z5 is to restart the phone while connected to the Mojo.Anyone else have this problem?

I noticed with my GOV2 that my phone wanted the GOV2 connected to the OTG cable first, and then OTG plugged in to the phone, not OTG into phone and then GOV2 into OTG. You'd think it wouldn't matter, but it did. Try mucking with your connection sequence and see if that helps...

Please see the section on connecting Mojo to your device, via co-axial, in post #3 (in the main Mojo thread)
 
 
The X3ii, x5ii, and X7 do not use the same contacts on the digital-output, as the first generation X3 and X5
 
Therefore, you need a TRRS plug, at the DAP end, wired as clearly illustrated in post #3.
 
The Mojo end does not need TRRS, but it's all illustrated in post #3

I got instructions from Chord on how to fix this.
Settings>device connection>USB connectivity>detect USB device

Anyone have any clever ideas for covering the colorballs in a non-destructive manner? I use it at work and the colorballs draw too much attention to themselves when I have the Mojo out on my desk.

Chord: can you enable a stealth mode setting to have the unit on, but have NO light shining in the balls?

There is a dimmer mode, but not no light at all.

Sure. I'm using the dimmer mode, but it's still 3 multicolored, glowing balls all saying "hey look at me! Come ask me what this is! It costs HOW much?"

Easy - just sprinkle a few mini gobstoppers on your desk, to camouflage Mojo:

Hahaha! The mice approve of this message.

They only need to be there when Mojo's there.
 
You don't leave Mojo all alone on your office desk, when you go home, from work, do you?

 
 
 
 
In all seriousness, why can't you just put Mojo inside the box of a deck of cards (I would say a cigarette packet, but that might draw disapproving attention).

I don't know what your desk looks like - is it possible to place the Mojo in a desk draw?
 
Alternatively some users post that having people come up to them and ask about their Mojo, is a great way to meet new friends.

I just have a flat expanse of wood for a desktop and no drawers. Only practical place to have the Mojo is on the desktop (because I tend to bump volume up and down between songs a lot).

I prefer to avoid as much attention as possible for my high-value, easily transportable and concealable items. Once normal people (non - audiophiles) find out how much this stuff costs, they aren't thinking "what great sound", they are thinking "holy crap, that guy has $1500 sitting on his desk".

Don't get me wrong, I work with great folks, but like they say "good fences make good neighbors." Best to keep this kind of thing discreet.

There is an important caveat with that - apparently, it is necessary to take Mojo on a rollercoaster, in order to meet new friends.

I just got my Mojo and have the problem with the first half-second of a track is cut off.  It happens on a MacBook Pro with iTunes, Tidal, Spotify, and Vox!!!
 
Chord really needs to provide a firmware update to fix this.  I don't have this problem with any other DAC.

Also, I noticed clicking sound when scrolling my trackpad in Safari.  I dropped the sampling rate in the Audio/MIDI Setup and that corrected the problem.
