Yes they can be found on Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256803433720373.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.21ef1802TrX6WO I visited a friend's house and we compared the Siltech to his genuine Furutech Powerflux 18 Power Cord which is a $2k+ cable and the difference wasn't even close...- maxh22

CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE
I’m using a Siltech Double Crown power cable and although it’s a “clone”of the original it sounds just like how the original is described in various reviews. It adds much needed body to Dave, increased holographics, analog flow, and super accurate timbre reproduction, it just might be an end...- maxh22

The same thing happened to my friend who owns an Ether Regen, he purchased a heat sink and it resolved all his dropout issues. eivvia 100×100×18 1pcs Control System Components Aluminum Alloy Profile Heat Sink/Multimedia Equipment Aluminum Heat Sink https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JJCNYQ3/- maxh22

CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE
Has anyone tried a Siltech double crown power cable with their Dave? Got one the other day and it made a huge improvement, the sound is even more relaxed with more body, flow, and micro details popping up. Wonder if you any of you guys who bought a Sean jacobs or Farad power supply compared it...- maxh22

It’s true…. Black is known to sound better due to Chords new RF blocking black paint, it’s scientifically proven and wiffy approved 😌 Just kidding of course ..- maxh22

Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆
I'd much rather get the Mojo 2 since it's already tuned to sound more neutral and should be better but since Hugo already has built-in Bluetooth it's pretty convenient. I use to use the Hugo on the train several years ago when I had one and it was great over Apt-X. Another interesting option...- maxh22

Watts Up...?
@Rob Watts Does Mojo 2 use the same FPGA as Mojo 1? Are the taps running at full speed or half speed as was the case with Mojo 1? Any comments on how you improved Mojos RF sensitivity? Thanks again and good work 👌 -

Try a whole bunch of optical cables until you settle on one you like, some can sound warmer with more body and others more detailed / precise/ slightly brighter compared to others. All about the synergy in your system .- maxh22

Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
I use to have a 2nd Gen iPod Nano and even though I mainly listened to mp3's at the time I remember the sound was very musical and non-fatiguing. Over the years I observed listening to music on the latest iPhones wasn't anywhere as pleasurable. The best-sounding iPhone was the iPhone 4S from my...- maxh22

Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
So far the best playback I achieved was when I had music loaded on my SD card plugged into the MSI laptop , it sounds the most analog to me with the blackest background. I am not entirely sure how but somehow this noise makes its way even through toslink. Even playing from an NVME SSD or SSD...- maxh22

Hugo M Scaler by Chord Electronics - The Official Thread
Chord dacs definitely sound great via toslink but there are still huge differences between sources. My gaming pc via toslink even with a better power cable and isolation doesn’t sound anywhere near as good as my Msi laptop even connected to its mains cable . The gaming pc has this digital edge...- maxh22

Would it be possible to do a WTA version of PGGB? Pre-upsample tracks to millions or billions of taps but with the WTA algorithm? That would surely be interesting :)- maxh22

CHORD ELECTRONICS DAVE
Interesting post, for what it's worth I noticed little old Mojo sounds great with older recordings, its sound signature is sometimes even preferable to Dave. I recently added a couple Furutech NCF Clear Line's and noticed even poorer recordings are much more listenable and engaging, the quality...- maxh22

Does anyone know Mojo's power output driving 8 ohms speakers? Gonna do a test just for fun but I think it's <1 watt? Would be cool if someone knew the exact figures :)- maxh22
