Administrator Marc Posted October 14, 2015 Administrator Share Posted October 14, 2015 Well the leak is out .... http://www.stereo.net.au/news/leaked-chord-redefines-portable-audio-with-mojo Game changer! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sime Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) I heard about this last week, wasn't going to say anything being that Chord hadn't launched it yet. It's basically a sub $1000 Hugo headphone amp. Edited October 14, 2015 by Sime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted October 14, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted October 14, 2015 Which makes it pretty special IMO. Hugo was remarkable, but not something I would carry around. I've been living with Mojo, partnered with my Galaxy Note 4 using USB Audio Player Pro. Just wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sime Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Have you got a Mojo you say @@Marc Have you ever used a Hugo, any difference? Sorry, I havnt read your link above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky500 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Why the ugly design? There is only so much you can do to a square box product and I think it looks way cool. Very impressive for a <$1K product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundscape Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Looks like a gun product, but IMO the fancy casework is ill suited for portable use. They could cut down a lot of bulk and weight without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted October 14, 2015 Author Administrator Share Posted October 14, 2015 Have you got a Mojo you say @@Marc Have you ever used a Hugo, any difference? Sorry, I havnt read your link above. I had a Hugo for an extended time, and a Hugo TT for a few weeks. I believe the Mojo is easily on par with the Hugo ... big call I know! Yes we've had the Mojo for a little while, I'm using it now. Out of respect for the embargo by Chord we could not talk about it, but as it has leaked now (see the linked article), the information is freely available on the internet and the embargo is no longer valid.

Guest Sime Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Thanks for that Marc, and can we please not turn another Chord thread into "it's ugly" like the Dave thread. If you have bad taste, I don't care All chord gear is completely different design to everything else, we get it.

heman_ Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) probably the ugliest component I have seen for a long time. How are those plastic seams too But who cares really, if it makes up for this with SQ I'd happily fork over for one.

Equaliser Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Heman the Mojo doesn`t compare to the full Chord stack for title of ugliness. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing plastic about Mojo (except for the marbles controlling power and volume). It's machined from solid aluminium and in your hand feels like a weapon.

There's nothing plastic about Mojo (except for the marbles controlling power and volume). It's machined from solid aluminium and in your hand feels like a weapon. Ahh I see. From the photos I assumed it was a plastic product. I meant the seam that you can see in that shot - the two pieces don't line up right, and aren't snug with the connections. A pet peeve of mine. It's a moot issue so long as it sounds good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krispy Audio Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Love the look. Much better than a box with buttons! How long you had the demo unit? Interested to see what battery life has been like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
