Does this mean, that you believe Mojo2 adds or subtracts or even interacts with headphones it is connected to?
I have set up comparisons in the past on Mojo 2 by level matching with separate Roon ARC profiles for each headphone. Just as quick and easy as swapping headphones off and on my head. Not terribly difficult. I do the same with my desktop amp, but with regular Roon DSP instead of ARC's DSP. Level matching for A/B comparisons is no biggie these days.
I dig it, but I'm reluctant to put a magnet right against the Mojo 2's case. What's the word on these ultra-thin magnets and audio signal interference?I can't see the appeal of using DAP when a Mojo 2 and an iPhone are around, so I decided to turn the Mojo 2 into a MagSafe accessory. The idea came after looking at the Khadas Tea, which has a great design and makes me wonder why aren't more portable DAC/Amps with MagSafe coming along. I also saw Darko Audio's review of the Mojo 2 where he hacked the Mojo 2 attachment to an iPhone 13 mini using velcro, missing the opportunity to take advantage of MagSafe and ending up with an ugly result.
I know some people already mentioned adding MagSafe to the Mojo here but not many details or pictures of the result were added, so here's the setup I came up with.
First the requirements:
1) I wanted the integration to be as slick as possible with no dangling USB cables nor any USB connectors sticking out more than they should. The connector on the phone side should always be angled.
2) It should help protect both 90º and straight headphone jacks when I'm either holding the package in my hands or in a pocket.
3) No direct modifications to the Mojo itself.
Then the result.
When using headphones with a straight jacket, the Mojo's USB port is on the top side, and the USB cable used is 25cm long with one angled connector on the phone side and one straight connector on the Mojo side:
For headphones with 90º jacks, the Mojo is turned around and connects with a 15cm long cable with angled jacks on both sides is used. A thin USB cable wire is helpful to coil the cable and tuck it under the edge of the Mojo case:
To set up MagSafe, I got these metal "MagSafe-compatible" plate and sticked it to the underside of the Leather case. I could have stacked a few plates directly on the Mojo to level with Mojo feet, but I didn't want to modify the Mojo, plus the result wouldn't look as elegant nor would I have the protective benefit of the leather case.
The MagSafe plate and the cables were all obtained for about 20eur. total. The end result is super neat and all involved cable connectors are as flush or protected as possible.
No idea. Though I doubt it's a problem judging from the amount of headphones and speakers available with integrated amplifier and radio electronics near the built-in speaker magnets.
Maybe you don't see many magsafe dacs, because owners don't want to attach their sensitive dac to an iPhone RFI generator.I can't see the appeal of using DAP when a Mojo 2 and an iPhone are around, so I decided to turn the Mojo 2 into a MagSafe accessory.

It won’t fall off unless I shake it violently. It may rotate a bit around the magnets but that’s mostly if you try doing that on purpose.
The simple solution would be to turn on airplane mode. Of course, then you can't receive calls outside of WiFi. When you are enjoying the Mojo2, that may not be a bad idea...
Yes, but it was very noticeable on the Mojo OG thread, that after starting as a dac intended to be tightly connected to a phone, that eventually many owners preferred using DAPS or Poly as a source, or alternatively learnt to live with long cables.
No, I’m only saying that comparing the two headphones means you’re hearing two different systems. After all, we can’t listen to an amp/DAC or a pair of headphones, we can only listen to the music they produce as a connected system. Change the amp, DAC or headphone and the system is different.
