What Hi-Fi? 5 stars

A global reference, What Hifi? is one of the most comprehensive magazines covering Home Cinema and Hifi. The "5 stars" award distinguishes the highest quality products, according to this British magazine.

Overview

The Mojo 2, designed and built by the British, is the most advanced portable DAC and headphone amplifier in the world today. Fully designed around a powerful custom-coded FPGA processor, the Mojo 2 benefits from several unique technologies.

At the heart of the new Mojo 2 is the world’s first lossless DSP, an advanced “digital tone control” with no degradation in sound quality. The “UHD DSP” gives the Mojo 2 unmatched compatibility with today’s wide-range headphones, as well as unmatched flexibility with partner equipment.

Poly connects directly to Mojo’s award-winning audio processing (DAC), significantly improving the audio quality of streamed music. Its advanced design allows everyday devices, including Android and Apple smartphones/tablets, to become portable “hi-fi quality” digital audio players. Poly can also be used with computers and can access networked audio stored on NAS drives using DLNA apps.

The pack includes:
- 1x Mojo 2 portable audio DAC
- 1x Chord Electronics Poly network player

Arjan

Excellent product. Setting up the Bluetooth and WiFi network connection was very easy. The WiFi hotspot was slightly less straightforward, but that was due to the iPhone (difficult to activate the mode 'connect to WiFi network without Internet'). But now that it works, it's great! Loaded the internal SD with FLAC files, installed a good MPD app on the iPhone, and off we go! Besides being mobile, it's an outstanding home streamer with a DAC. As a test, I connected it to the stereo, and it largely replaces the PC solution with a professional Lynx Studio sound card (different purpose, but still a decent DAC with Burr Browns). All in all, a superb product with wonderfully dynamic and full sound and an excellent streamer (even with Roon, though I haven't tested it with PlexAmp as a music server solution).

Uitstekend product. Het opzetten van de Bluetooth en Wifi netwerk verbinding was heel eenvoudig. De Wifi hotspot net iets minder, maar dat lag aan de iPhone (lastig om de mode 'verbinden met WiFi netwerk zonder Internet' te activeren). Maar nu het werkt, super ! De interne SD van FLAC files voorzien en een goede MPD app op de iPhone en gaan ! Behalve mobiel is het een dijk van een thuis streamer met DAC. Als test aangesloten op de stereo en het vervangt grotendeels al de PC oplossing met een professionele Lynx Studio geluidskaart (ander doel, maar toch ook een redelijke DAC met Burr Browns). Al met al, super product met heerlijk dynamisch en vol geluid en een dijk van een streamer (zelfs met Roon, maar met PlexAmp als muziek server oplossing geen test mee gedaan).

Pairing the Mojo2 with my Focal Utopia is an absolute delight!
I've tested quite a few headphone amp-DACs, but I've never experienced such dynamics and depth in music before.
Adding the Poly to the Mojo2 is a huge plus in a Roon home setup.

L'association du Mojo2 avec mon focal utopia est un véritable enchantement !
J'ai testé pas mal d'ampli-dac pour casque mais jamais je n'avais pu obtenir autant de dynamique et de profondeur dans la musique.
L'ajout du poly au mojo2 est un gros plus dans une config Roon home.
