Thats great. Always appreciate your Chord Mojo mod videos. Much to learn

[@jonasDoguedeBordeaux]

Thanks m8

Great vid JJ, the one you did for me loads proper Hiend ! See you when I get my new glasses

[@leonkirkbride6559]

Excellent great to see Mojo updates , just wondering the preferred flavour of output coupling caps ?

[@jonasDoguedeBordeaux]

If I could use polypropylene, I would, but they are too big. I tried some, and they are very detailed.yet The black gates are good, another option could be audiophile variant of alcap or better louder speaker crossover electrolytic caps small size 🤔

[@leonkirkbride6559]

@@jonasDoguedeBordeaux Cheers mate , electrolytics should be fine if there's proper DC bias, its been such a long time since ive brought any I wasn't sure which are good lately .Recently had a listen to a Qutest , must admit its very good , if a modded Mojo comes close it would be an achievement. BTW noticed on one of your other vids you was using one of those Wiim streamers , I've just been looking into them and tempted to get one of the pro ones if any good , be good to feed the day

Interesting. I don't understand a thing you have done/modded since i'm not technical at all haha. But if i understand correctly if you modify the Mojo 1 to use a good powersupply instead of the micro usb charger it will already sound better and maybe come close to the Mojo 2?

[@jonasDoguedeBordeaux]

There is two capacitors you change in the signal path and run the dac from it's battrey connection as the micro usb goes through a dc to dc 5v to 8 volts nasty

[@flyindo]

@@jonasDoguedeBordeaux thx for your reply. Like i said it's still too technical for me but maybe i know someone who can do this mod for me. However i can buy a Mojo 1 for € 150,00 which is modified to permantly use a Mean Well power supply instead of the battery/micro usb charging. Will this Mojo 1 already sound better with this power supply mod then stock you think? Should i just buy it and maybe later let someone change the 2 capacitors in the signal path? I know the Mojo 2 sounds better stock but it's too expensive for me. Do you have a manual for capacitors mod? What do you think?

[@34vdEZJ4p7R]

Thanks for the video. I would like to use my SoTM SPS-500 to power the Mojo 1. I can select 7v DC output. The next stop is 9v. Would it be fine to run the Mojo on 7v DC?

[@jonasDoguedeBordeaux]

Try 7v it should work I think 8 volts is max

[@marvean2519]

A thing of beauty! Can you just leave it plugged in if you don't care about the battery degrading?

[@Gsmiler]

Ive got a Chord Qute HD with a Paul Hynes power supply if you dont fancy spending a grand on a Qutest.....

[@jonasDoguedeBordeaux]

Hi, thanks. I have the mojo it's excellent And a stello dac I have noticed on the dac you have it has a cap and a lm317t you could change for a super regulator

[@Gsmiler]

@@jonasDoguedeBordeaux Ooh Im not a tinkerer, I would'nt know what I was looking at on a circuit board! Plus with my dodgy hands I'd be a fire hazard with a soldering iron!!🤣🤣

[@mike_lowndes]

That inline RF mains filter has no ground from the equipment. Is that not a problem? How do you ground or not? What am I missing. Cheers.

[@jonasDoguedeBordeaux]

It buzzed loudly until I linked the earth sorted well spotted m8

[@mike_lowndes]

@@jonasDoguedeBordeaux I was thinking of getting one of these so as not to pay the snake oil tax, but I can't see where the thing is grounded. There are only two connectors on the output. A picture might help lol.

[@silverchesnov5247]

Chord mojo has a really stupid battery management system
