Rather big step size in the very low adjustment range. The lowest possible volume setting could and should be lower in order to listen quietly with very/extremely sensitive in-ears (that’s quite a disappointment for me), but should be fine-ish for many people. No intuitive volume indicators volume indicated by the colour of the two volume adjustment balls. The two 3.5 mm headphone outputs output the same signal in parallel (and therefore act just like a normal stereo y-splitter adapter). No traditional DAC chip but instead an FPGA-based solution running the designer's code is used inside. User interface (volume status display, sample rate display) is not easy to get used to and not intuitive at all as it consists of nothing but colours. Thereafter, that value can still be altered, though. Holding all three buttons during the boot process jumps straight to 3 V output voltage ("Line Out Mode"). The brightness of the illuminated balls can be reduced adjusted in two steps by pressing both volume buttons. They're basically just "caps" on top of actual buttons, so one has to press them in in order to actually change the volume and operate the device etc. The quirky balls rotate but don't actually do anything. USB oscillators chirp and whine with many (but not all) chargers while charging. Poor battery life (probably around 6 hours in real-world listening scenarios) and fast battery drain when it is turned off.
#Chord mojo bitperfect volume control portable
The four small grooves are actually there to help stacking the device using thick, round rubber bands.ĭecent amount of inputs (micro USB, full-sized optical input (something that is only rarely found on portable devices – I really like the fact that the Chord Electronics Mojo has got one), mini coaxial input). Unique and unusual design, but I like it.
I'm not fully sure whether the “balls” are made of glass or plastic.Īll of the labels and logos are finely engraved (and not laser-etched, so they shouldn't fade over time).
