Chord Mojo 2 - DAC Headphone Amplifier
Unlike brothers, Mojo 2 uses a patented programmable logic integrated circuit (FPGA) audio conversion technology. And it has been improving for more than two decades. The Mojo 2 DAC uses circuitry from the XILINX model ARTIX-7. The one that combines high performance with minimal power consumption in this class.
Among the distinctive advantages, the function of digital sound processing using super-technology should be highlighted. This is an 18-band equalizer with the ability to adjust every part of the frequency range. The body of the device is made in the UK from anodized aircraft-grade aluminum. Shot blasting and precision milling on a CNC machine are used. Note - no plastic. And this is high-quality cooling for system components.
Chord Mojo 2 is fully compatible with the Chord Poly wireless streaming module. There is support for SD storage media up to 2 TB. Autonomy Mojo 2 increased. Now it is about 8 hours, and the time to full charge has decreased slightly. Chord Mojo 2 supports all current operating systems. Plus, it can be used as a peripheral desktop device.
This kid is "knocking down" give strength to everyone. Yes, and in quality. Of course, the device is relatively large and has weight due to the aluminum case. But here it is up to the buyer to decide what is more important - quality or convenience. There is. There are more compact solutions. But they are also priced accordingly. If buy headphones with a long cable, then the problem dissolves in place.
