I'm kinda nervous about trying to bend the hinge myself. The previous owner said he never really used the optical port since he was mostly using the Mojo with the Poly. I guess the Poly might've been plugged in too hard or something, causing this damage.



Thanks a bunch for the suggestion! I'll see if I can find a local company here in Canada to handle the repair, but if things don't work out, I'll reach out to Rick.



Yeah, I'm worried that the whole port might need to be replaced.

The Sound Organisation are Chords north american distributor, so should know all the approved dealers and technical centres.
You could also email support@chordelectronics.co.uk if you want to clarify with them if trying to bend the hinge could void your warranty.

No not a typo - it's just that some headphones are said to sound better with external headphone amps, in spite of the fact that Mojo 2/Hugo 2 can easily drive those headphones to ear splitting levels as they are in fact easy to drive.

I know that you are someone who strives for accuracy and vanishingly low distortions but I think in those situations people might like additional flavouring that external device might bring to the table whether the headphone/speaker needs more power or not.

Personally I don’t chase the perfect SINAD or “as the artist intended” dragon, if it sounds good to my ears that’s all that matters and going back to your previous comment, it might be why people prefer poorer measuring headphones, they could find those distortions as more pleasing.

Hello iam looking for help with my 5 month old Mojo 2 . All of sudden i cannot turn it on on battery mode. When i plug power cable , Mojo automatically turn on into desktop mode, when i unplug power cable, it instantly turnoff. Tried to keep it on charger over night but ball was purple all the time while off. So i wonder , its some rare software bug or ? It seems like my Mojo is stuck at desktop mode ( working normally but only with charging cable).

Could the battery connection have come undone? Opening it would tell you.

I was wondering about battery connection, but opening will void warranty, so i guess i will try shop/chord support first. Anyway thanks for reply.

if I use the focal 2022 how do I use the low gain? because when notice that I do use the low gain the sound is too weak. it's supposed to be like that? I see it white then goes white again, I keep it on the green side. which is loud enough

Mojo doesn't have low or high gain, it has one continuous volume scale and when above 50% the button turns white, to warn IEM users or just general indication

There is no low or high gain just a wide range of volume settings and a rainbow of colours to indicate where you are at in that range.

Is there a "native" way to control Mojo 2's volume using the volume keys on a Mac?

I managed to get that working via SoundSource's "Force software volume control" options together with the "Super volume keys" options, but I was wondering if there was a macOS native way (or supported by Chord) to do that.

If there's no native way, any idea what is the reason for that?

 

[x7007]

did you ever had chance to try many DACs and you didn't notice a difference? i had gsx1000 with the mayflower amp, I hear a bit difference but I am not sure if it's the headphones or not, I mean I lost some feel of soundstage from hd800s but I don't know if I hear things or feel things I haven't before.

You will loose resolution if you mess with the volume of the input signal in software.

The Mojo's have a "lossless" volume control working in the digital domain, AFAIK it can only be controlled via the buttons. You could design a "button presser" addon using something like a Raspberry Pi, a couple of solenoid's and some programming in Python.

Does that mean that EQ done in software will also impact quality unfavourably?

Yes, unless you mean the software EQ in the Mojo 2, that is implemented to be "lossless" although as soon as parts of the frequency spectrum are altered isn't it automatically lossy.

Both volume and EQ can impact the sound quality unfavorably. If it is noticeable depends on the precision of the implementation. Volume mostly changes the amplitude of the samples and -6 db is technically reducing by 1 bit, bit proper implementation will be more complex. EQ must change a lot of samples due to a frequency like 50 hz being spread over 1/50 of a second so you need to modify a lot of samples to change the level of that frequency.
