For more of my thoughts about the Mojo 2 see my website review here www.pursuitperfectsystem.com/chord-electronics-mojo-2-review/ ALSO I made a mistake with the number of Taps in the original MOJO - to be honest that has no influence on the review as I looked at it after all my listening testing - at the end of the day its an important number but its just a number, I wanted to be less about the technical and more about the practical. Sorry for the mistake though of course.

I've owned a MOJO for 4 years now (my previous DAC/headphone amp [was/is] an OPPO HA-2) because most of my music library consists of mediocre or thin recordings I appreciate the warmth and full sound of the original MOJO. I know one thing though, I'll never buy another DAC with a Sabre chip.

@hughwilson3683 2 года назад

I am finding it so much more musical than the Mojo 1 and very smooth but with less emphasis on warmth in the sound. This is by no means a cold and clinical sound and once you are used to it, it just sounds 'right'. I use the 2 to directly drive B&W M1s on the desktop (no additional amp) which was how I used the 1. It took a while to get used to the sound which is really quite different from the 1. The sound is considerably better than the 1 and I would recommend people to upgrade. It has the kind of magic I used to enjoy with Vinyl but with astonishing levels of detail mixed in. Obviously it will depend how good the input to the device is I use mine from a Mac Mini with Curious cables and an Uptone Regen with balanced power supply (which doubles the cost...) The great thing is how brilliant it sounds with 'ordinary' sources such as Spotify. I think the next generation of Chord DACS will be truly spectacular if this is anything to go by.

Nice review Terry. For entry level portable or home headphone dac ifi is hard to beat for their price. Chord Dave with M Scaler is a world beater for sure. I could not keep my eyes if the Kinki Studios EX M1 integrated you had in the background. Talk about affordable world beater, that is one for sure. I look forward to your review. Congrats on your listening space. It must be painful to have lost the dedicated Home Cinema. Thanks always

I got a great deal with richer sounds (£360 mojo 2 open box) compared with £220 for a cobalt , so an extra £140 gets me a British made solid piece of kit that is amazing as obviously I can use it with my system or upstairs with my headphones, or £220 for a glorified usb stick from the septics that I understand comes apart at the top when the glue gives way.

@PursuitPerfectSystem 2 года назад

Thanks I think so, I started the review using the DCA Ether and they have a very bold warm and quite on you sound for the bass typical big planar sound so after that most dynamic driver headphones sound very lack lustre. The Aeon are not lacklustre but they are a more off you sound so I likely raised the bass a bit :)

@20gibbon 2 года назад

I thought you had the Crossfeed option on the Hugo TT2 you also own, have you played around with the three options? I always go back to turning it off when testing it.

@PursuitPerfectSystem 2 года назад

Yeah its on the TT2 and the Hugo 2 as fat as I know but I have never used it before being a purist snob and all that, but after trying it I liked it but I think the ability to tune the sound to balance some bits that don't quite work might be the differnce for using it longer term. End of the day headphones cant be designed to listen like that so it's messing with them so things like bass being a little thick is one of those things that would quickly turn you off even if the rest was good but if you can tune it to not be like it thats a big improvement. Its definitely different thats for sure it's a bit for fun and faux dimensional

@braciee5830 2 года назад

Being a bit fresh and new to all of this. I am rather confused with DSP aspect? Is this almost like a built in equaliser? If so what are the benefits to this as opposed to software EQ?

@PursuitPerfectSystem 2 года назад

Yes dsp is an equaliser, there are technical benefits to Chords implementation I didnt cover in the video but you can look it up. The benefit of hardware dsp is it doesn't matter what the source is the sound is always dsp the same. Software eq has the benefit of being graphical and potentially more complex and flexible compared to the fixed four frequencies you can adjust in the mojo 2 but if its happening in your computer as the music source and your listening from your phone as the source you obviously won't get the effect.

I like Chord as a brand, but I'm concerned by reports that some people find some of their offerings "bright" and "harsh," and I'm having a hard time seeing the value proposition, particularly after seeing what's inside the cases.

@PursuitPerfectSystem 2 года назад

Something only sounds bright if there is too much treble and not enough bass well you have total control over that so it's more of a moot point with the mojo 2 than a lot of other products. If something sounds harsh that can be distortion and I found the mojo 2 to sound extremely clean much more so than you would expect going into some good dan clark headphones. Worth considering all this.

@hughwilson3683 2 года назад

Their DACS sound harsh of you have a substandard source particularly on USB. In my experience with MOJO 1 it was always smooth on the optical input but did not give the magic that the USB input is capable of. That said the USB can sound harsh. I have spent as much on USB cables and conditioners on my MAC Mini as I did on the MOJO, but I have to say the sound is amazing, vocals in particular are ridiculously lifelike. Optical gives me a wonderful full bodied musical sound like my old Turntable but by going all in on USB I get something with way more details and realism.

Yes from my IPAD Pro and phone straight USB C but I dont use an IPhone I use a Samsung S21

@sfomann 2 года назад

With iPadOS and the newer iPad with usb-c, you do not need the camera adapter. Perhaps older iPad with the newer iPadOS you may be ok too, but I havent tried it. With iPhone you still need one.

Something really strange happened to me a couple of days ago.... I was in my local DMV, which had a TV running local adverts and community news & events. Then suddenly and ad for Chord Mojo 2 popped up. That was an extremely weird place to run that ad. it was in a small town in Texas. I was probably the only person in the whole county that has even heard of Chord.... Are they tracking my phone location and targeting me? Seems very strange to me.....

Chord saw MQA for what it is and walked away. Now, thanks to Tidal’s botched batch conversions which forced all its users to only receive polluted MQA conversions in place of lossless music, MQA has turned toxic and thousands of Tidal subscribers have walked away too.

@lanx0003 2 года назад

@@colinpratt2839 Of course, size isn't everything. Feature isn't everything... Only SQ matters, right! If so, at this price point, this tiny device faces a rather heavy competition. The company wants to recoup R&D cost but so is other companies. Chord is known for its soundstage but, frankly, I felt its SS is a bit artificial, not nature. It seems to regulate the volume level of different "something" to create that spatial effect which sound a bit artificial. For the similar money I will go buy R2R Dac which sounds more natural.
