Chord Mojo for the audiophile in you

Coming to Singapore really soon, I wonder how the response will be like. 999SGD for direct purchase and now for pre-order at 899SGD at various retailers. I wouldn't say I am really excited since most of my gears are portable right now and my trusty Mi Note is good enough with some flac or dsd files when I chose not to lug a bulky iBasso DX100 around.

Some specs and pics on the upcoming Chord Mojo:

1 x Micro USB 768KHz/32-bit capable
1 x 3.5mm jack coaxial 768KHz/32-bit capable
1 X Optical Toslink 192KHz/24-bit capable
1 X Micro USB charging port


Outputs
2. x 3.5mm headphone jacks


Technical Details
Output power @ 1KHz
600 Ohms 35mW
8 Ohms 720mW
Output impedance 75m Ohms
Dynamic range 125dB

I'm all up for a more portable device, but what's with the font for the word Mojo? It reminds me of a primary school's kid attempt at graffiti. Putting that aside, 999SGD sounds like a decent price and Eng Siang will be the one in charge of distirbution in Singapore.

If this could have the aesthetics of the Ray Samuels or Headamp, it would have made my head turn. It was mentioned that this would be the more portable Chord Hugo at much a smaller size, but I would wait till I get hands on with it before commenting.

Stay tuned for more updates on this! Psst, just a secret that Song Brothers will be receiving the demo at their Funan outlet tomorrow so rush over there and try it out by then!
