Not a Canada problem at all. It happens here in Spain too. Its shameful for such expensive gear to have this kind of problems. I don't like the case, it came as a gift with the mojo2 and never used it.
I am the owner of a Mojo2 now for over a year. I also had the sudden blasting white noise problem on my apple devices. The dealer told me to use the apple camera adapter on my iPhone and any double adapter on my computer. This solved my problem permanently. You can’t connect just a single cable from an Apple device directly to the Mojo2 or you may get blasted. You need a double cable. Chord knows this but they do not tell their customers this. This is very dangerous because the noise blast is sufficient to cause hearing damage. I filed a complaint with the FTC and the US consumer product safety commission but all they do is document it. Until they get sued they will refuse to acknowledge this problem and do something about it. This is an irresponsible company and these products should be pulled off the retail shelves until they solve the problem.
Thanks for sharing your experience here Alan. It seems to be related to the cable and the way the lightning port forms a handshake with the Mojo. Lightning is proprietary and my guess is that all of these third party cable manufactures find workarounds in order to not have to pay Apple. This would make sense as to why the apple camera connector works and straight cables don't. I'm testing out an updated cable that while pricey seems to work perfectly 🤞🏻. Once I'm 100% sure of this I'll update on a pinned comment of this video, so stay tuned for that. 🍻
What exactly do you mean by a double adapter? I use my Mojo2 connected to a Macbook Air M2 with a single USB-C to USB-C cable. I recently had the white noise blast for the first time and it couldn't have come at a worse time.
The real question is why, if the problem is as described above, did the white noise issue not manifest from day one? My Mojo2 worked perfectly for six or seven months with a FiiO USB C to lightning “short cable’ and also with a similar cable that came with a Cayin R6 dongle but when the problem eventually manifested it persisted and persists to this day making the chord pretty much unusable.
definitely is apple, i have same issue with my ipad pro once in a while. however i have no problems when its connecting to my mac studio for some reason. never had issues when its connected to my android phone.
They also have the newly released FiiO Lt-lt4 if you’re interested in a newer version though it uses a braided nylon covered cable instead of a soft rubber with nearly zero micro phonics of the Lt-lt3. It seems as though the Lt4 has a gold plated usb connector so that might be better as the Lt3 has no such plating. I also don’t know if there is a significant sound difference (considering it just transfers the sound) but mostly like always, the newer the cable revision, the more likely for the sound to be better. And the Lt4’s cable is roughly 2.5 times the length of the short roughly 8 inches of the lt3. I honestly want to buy the Lt4 because the Lt3’s cable is way too short for me at least.
@@dbean5174 I've got a replacement cable that seems to be working perfectly. Once I'm 100% sure, (and I finish the other video I'm working on), I'll post about it. That's great that you're having no noise issues with the fiio cable. I'm assuming apple did something with the lightning port on this year's iphones and all of these 3rd party cable manufactures had to make tweaks. Thank you for sharing! 🍻
Yikes! Sorry to hear about this. I use the Mojo 2 with iPhone 14 Pro and FiiO LT-LT1 Lightning to USB-C cable. I listen between 30 minutes to 2 hours at a time and never had any problems.
I had the same white noise issue with an iPad Pro and a spare USB-C cable I had. The issue went away when I used the cable packed with the iPad. I think this issue is specific to Apple devices because I didn’t have the issue when I used that same spare USB-C cable with a Samsung Galaxy Android phone.
Have you tried the Apple camera adapter? I have not had any problems with it and iOS devices. A regular cable may have issues as Apple has claimed that 3rd party cables and adapters may not have the chip required to authenticate the transfer. You may consider this BS but it may be a real issue. That Mofi certification may be a requirement as so many 3rd party sellers have saturated the market with goods that are not compatible.
UPDATE: I've loved my chord mojo 2 for ages and it's been great with my Samsung galaxy s21 ultra, wavelet and Spotify. But earlier today i got the terrifying white noise. I felt awful for my focal elegias and ripped out the cable immediately. Turned everything off and on again and thankfully it all seems ok. This white noise happened when i mistakenly turned on the mojo 2 whilst connected to said apps. Im hoping it was just a one off!
I thought about it but couldn't justify the higher than Mojo 2 price. Especially now since I solved the white noise issue. Video is here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsQcLAVDozsX8?feature=share Thanks for watching! 🍻
I went to Bay Bloor Radio a couple of weeks back and demoed the Mojo2 and their Demo Unit had the white noise problem. I was using a Iphone 13 Pro Max. They cable I was using is one they provided at the store so not sure what brand it was.
If memory serves, it was a short FiiO cable. I demoed before I bought as well. I originally had the same issue with that cable and my 13 pro. I ordered an updated DDhifi cable that’s supposed to be more compatible. We’ll see. Will update either way. 🍻
@@MisterChibs Honestly In hindsight I regret not telling them about it. they could of troubleshooted with their own unit and maybe saved you some trouble.
@@Jmask5 it’s all good. This is one of the main reasons I posted this video. If we could get a general consensus of what works, perhaps then we can narrow down what the real problem is.
It happened to me as well, my story… here we go: tried to get a mojo 2 from Amazon and it arrived with scratches, I returned it and got my money back. I bought it again but an official mojo 2 box arrived with an old used fiio dac, I returned it but didn’t get my money back from Amazon. Contacted Chord, they helped me to get one in my country. After some weeks I received a Mojo 2 but only one 3.5 worked and I had the same problem that you’ve got. I only notice it or happened to me the last week I had it (because they are replacing my unit thank God) … I used it with an iPhone 13 and the camera adapter (the original/official one).
The is for sharing Edgar. That’s tons of bad luck! Did the white noise blast happen while using the apple camera adapter? Which model iPhone do you have? 🍻
@@JTB-- Shady AF! 😡 I’ve had mostly good experiences with Amazon. If I run into trouble I’ll make a point to call their customer service and work it out with them. Having said that, always support your local brick and mortar store whenever possible. This sort of stuff never happens at brick & mortar. 🍻
iOS devices do not have “exclusive mode” for DACs. This means that system sounds (clicks, alarms, etc.) can be tossed into the stream going to the DAC. No problem if your music is at lower sampling rates, but if you are running higher rates and then the system tosses in a low-rate system sound, you get a blast of white noise. So it is worthwhile to turn off system sounds and go into Do Not Disturb mode. Cables can also cause trouble (as can the iPhone’s own lightning connector which might benefit from a swab or two of DeOxit) but try Do Not Disturb mode first.
My ipad pro 2021 with usbc also gives me white noise. On my desktop with MacBook pro M1 2021, no issues with usbc or optical. Yeah bummer with portable ipad but perfect with my fiio Dap.
Anyone having this issue on iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 17.0.3? I just got my first Mojo 2 and I’m a little terrified to try it after these videos, because I use custom IEM’s and my ear are literally my income. I can’t damage either.
I can't blame your hesitation. Check out the short linked here and follow my cable recommendation to be safe. If you want to chance it, grab a crappy pair of headphones, turn on music, and walk away for an hour. If you come back to music, you're probably okay. The Mojo 2 is very picky with cables. 🍻ua-cam.com/users/shortsQcLAVDozsX8?si=2ihjwprg3zl3cDGz
Same issue with any USB-cable I tried into my PC (Windows). Bought a Audioquest Forest OptiLink Toslink to replace connection with; no more issues. The Netherlands here.
Thanks Bas. Optical has been rock solid for me too. I’ve had success using a straight usb c cable into my MacBook Pro. You may want to try a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 rated cable if you want to go down that rout again. 🍻
I have had this problem with both a Mojo and a Mojo 2 on an iPhone 12 Pro Max and an iPhone 14 Pro Max, using two different Apple Camera adapters. It doesn't happen that often but it does happen. I only realized now that i saw your video that it's a real problem. I thought the cable didn't sit well. Did you find a real solution by now?
My lightning to usb c cable I got with my vioelectric chronos dongle dac works fine. It just maxes out at 48khz unfortunately. Either way I got mine with the poly attachment
For some reason ddhifi never works with my iphone ipad. Did audio quest and some el cheapo wire and it worked. Never had the white noise problem coz it just straight up didnt work. Hope you get yours sorted out, mojo 2 is just a pleasure to listen to.
It really is! Have it connected to my 2 channel system and listening as I type this. I wound up finding a compatible cable. 👍🏻 ua-cam.com/users/shortsQcLAVDozsX8?si=3RdR-nWjBvERrgnT
I had the white noise issue very early on when connecting to my iPhone 13. Once I stopped using my phone and only use it on my computer the problem no longer returns. I kept thinking it's the lightning connector that is causing all the problem. Lightning connectors have always been a pain.
It’s definitely related to the type of lightning connector. I made an update to this with one that works if you’re interested. ua-cam.com/users/shortsQcLAVDozsX8?si=mwTD48kwdVwKUrtH The apple camera adapter also does the job. 🍻
The Apple lightning to usb camera adapter works but adds bulk in conjunction with a usb a - c cable. Aftermarket hifi cable companies make straight lightning to usb c cables that reduce that bulk. This makes a difference if you're on the go & pocketing the mojo with iphone.
Hi Mr. Chibs! Really like the way you make the video, so I'd like to humbly ask for your opinions: - Do you think of a DAP that sounds as good as the Mojo 2? I know the Mojo 2 competes with desktop-level DACs, but I was looking for a mobile solution, so either a dedicated DAP (I'm looking at the new Astell & Kern SR35) or the Mojo 2 + Mobile phone for me. The added mobility and elegance is a plus for me, but if at more or less the same price, no DAP can beat the Mojo 2, I'd still go for the Mojo 2 because for me sound quality is most important. Would like to hear everyone's opinions if possible. Thank you guys :)
Thanks! I don't think you can get better sound quality out of a dap than you can with the Mojo2 (currently). It's SQ competes favourably with desktop DACs and DACs on my expensive integrated amps. If you're considering getting a DAP I think the main reason is that you don't want your phone with you so you're better able to disconnect. I always like to have my phone with me and find the ui, hardware, and overall experience is better on my iPhone than a DAP could offer. If I want to "Disconnect" I can turn it on airplane mode. Happy to change my mind if I come across a better solution but that's how I feel for now. The phone offers the best hardware / Ui and the Mojo II puts out stellar sound. Hope this helps! 🍻
Hi. I got the same problem with iphone 13 pro and 14 pro but not problem at all with iphone 8 plus, using a brand new ddHifi MFI09S. I don’t have this white noise issue earlier with Hidizs LT02 usb-c -> lighting though. So strange. I thought it may due to MFI cable that not support the new iphone ?
Thanks for sharing. You're not the only one with this problem with newer iphones and the 9s. I've been testing 2 versions Mfi07S and so far no problems at all. I'm going to do a quick video in the near future on this. DDHifi mentioned they updated compatibility with this specific cable so it looks like Apple changed something internally and the 3rd party market is playing catch-up. 🍻
@@prakasitt Yep, I just released a short video on this and can officially agree with you now. Something must have changed internally with more recent iPhones. Chord Mojo 2 Cable…Finally! ua-cam.com/users/shortsQcLAVDozsX8?feature=share
My new Mojo2 has shown the white noise issue after a month of use. It was connected to an iPad Pro using a USB C to USB C cable. The white noise showed up when I tried to adjust the volume of the Mojo2. The white noise disappeared after unplugging/replugging the USB C cable from the iPad charging port. If cable is the root cause, my solution is buying a Poly and using Roon to stream Qobuz and local music from my server - no cables are involved. Chord should look into this issue very seriously and develop a solution to it. Appreciate everyone sharing experience here.
Usb C cables can be very poorly designed and this is why you had the noise problem. Check out this Adam Savage video comparing them (Linked below - really interesting). Sure, getting Poly works but so does a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 rated usb C cable. Going this rout will save you a lot of $ too. The ones I recommend you can get off of Amazon. Look for "Cable Matters, thunderbolt 4" ua-cam.com/video/AD5aAd8Oy84/v-deo.htmlsi=q2WuTJRmAhtVSKEt Thanks for watching 🍻
@@MisterChibs I have been using the Cable Matters brand of Thunderbolt 4 cable. Totally over-spec’ed for audio streaming to a DAC but hey - that should make for unwavering signal integrity!
Me too have same noise If using ddhifi TC28i PRO + ddhifi TC05 without charging it At TC28i pro there are 2 slots for usb 1 for charging 1 for OTG if i dont use charging the white noise will come every 5-10 minute Then, while charging it , the noise never happened
That’s interesting you’re not getting the noise while charging. Have you tried the apple Camera connector? Which model iPhone do you have? I have ordered an updated DD Hifi cable that’s supposed to be more compatable with newer iPhones so we’ll see if that works. I’ll update in the comments of this video either way. Thanks for sharing. 🍻

@@MisterChibs Unfortunately I don’t have the mojo 2 anymore, I only had it a couple of days and returned it after my experience but thanks for the suggestion. Is using the thunderbolt cable from experience?
Using a thunderbolt rated cable always fixes the problem. USB C cable specs are all over the place and Thunderbolt rated cables are built to a much higher standard. Check out this Adam Savage vid if you’re interested in learning more. ua-cam.com/video/AD5aAd8Oy84/v-deo.htmlsi=czW8nLFpflncqeN4 🍻
For Macbook Pro I recommend getting a thunderbolt 3 or 4 rated usbc cable. I have no problems with mine and no one who I've suggested this solution has come back and reported the problem persisting. Hope this helps. 🍻
For the widespread functionality of the Mojo 2 it really can’t be compared to other DACs especially at it’s price. No other DAC can match its combined versatility and sound quality for close to its price.
@@cbmore28 for me, it’s very dependent on how fatiguing your headphones are. Only problem with mojo 2 (unlike mojo 1 which had a coupling capacitor), is you have to tame the detail. Luckily I managed to match the perfect smooth sounding commuter headphones that you could eq really well which are b&o h6. Every other brand of headphones (at least commuter / midfi level) were grating and I much preferred my Sony zx507 dap with them.
@@mattchampion3567 Interesting. Try a different cable from the camera adapter to the Mojo. Failing that, try that DD Hifi cable I linked. Let me know what happens.
Picked up a Mojo 2 a couple of days ago to pair with my iPad Pro (not M1). Tested it out for a while and it was good. Had a friend over and been playing music for good 10 hours when suddenly white noise blasted. Reconnected the iPad, and after 10 minutes, hiss blast again, then gain after 10 minutes. Restarting the iPad solved the issue for the next 30 minutes. Been listening to music for a couple of hours today and only got blasted once. This is in the opposite side of the world from Canada, so it’s definitely an issue with their latest batch.
@@MisterChibs It’s a non original USB-C to USB-C. Never had problems with that cable before, I used to use it to connect to my Focusrite Scarlett. I will buy an iPhone Photo adapter this week and try it with my iPhone. Also ordered another USB-C from Amazon to see if it fixes it.
@@MisterChibs It might be that Thunderbolt cables are just much higher quality, than standard USB-C cables, so they don't drop packets that much. I'll steal my docking station's Thunderbolt next time I'll have a long listening session.
I started out with a USB c to micro USB. Fine as long as I didn't finnagle the cable, but of course, as soon as I moved the unit or put it in a pocket: Blast! White noise explosion. I upgraded my phone to a pixel, still had white noise blasts. Got a USB c to USB c cable from a random charger I wasn't using and solved a lot of the Blasts. But I noticed that when the connected cable, either end, faced down in a pocket, the Blasts came back. U either have to have Darko Audio sized pockets (apparently he's over 2m tall), or be rather careful the USB connections don't get jostled around. I love the sound of this little beast, so I'm keeping it, but I'll probably get a questyle m15 for when I have to move around a bit more. Has anybody tried that one? Convincemeaudio raves about it
Thanks for sharing your experience! So your issue has to do with the cable wiggling around. I got blasted with the mojo being completely still and out of any pockets. It was on the arm of my chair the last time it happened. Have never been blasted with the apple camera adapter even when in my pocket. 🍻
@Mr Chibs yeah, as far as I can tell, it's the cable jiggling that's the problem, but USB c is making it better. With the micro USB I got some random white noise Blasts, but the cable was pretty short (wanted to have both the mojo 2 and the phone in the same pocket, which was too optimistic), so I can't discount a minor movement while I was head bobbing to incubus
1 year with mojo 2 and iPhones (recently updated to 14) using a little "cheap" micro usb to lightning. Never had the problem. No problem with iPad and usb C to usb C standard apple cable as well...in Canada ;)
The iphone cable is 4’’ long and terminated in L on each end (very handy and compact) I also got a MagSafe ring (a thick one) to stick on the bottom of the mojo. It has very strong magnet and it stick to the phone with his MagSafe case. I totally agree with you it is a fantastic dac. I use it as well in my living room setup with a SMSL VMV A1 amp driving the Warfdale Lintons. Fabulous tone!
@@MisterChibs I don’t use MagSafe for charging the phone in my mobile setup, I use it to attach the mojo to the phone with magnet. (Instead of elastic) :)
@@carlosleon9581 Carlos it does not anymore I don’t think it is the cable but something to do with the comparability between new iOS and the mojo2 But now my usb c to micro usb works 100% with no problem If you want something to use with the iPhone without micro connection I recommend you the onyx alpha dongle In most ways, at least with my Thea audio prestige limited it sounds better than the mojo and it is smaller
Hi there! I'm here to report that this is not only an iPhone related issue, it also happens with Android phones. I just got the Mojo 2 and I get the same white noise blast when I connect it directly to my Samsung S22 Ultra. Interesting enough I had already watched your video while I was researching about the Mojo 2, when this happened to me I remembered hearing about it somewhere and I came back here. It's frustrating that there's not an official post or update addressing this issue. However I found the solution of using the Mojo 2 with a phone a little impractical and I have always had in my mind the idea of pairing it with the Poly even if the price is ridiculous. After this issue it's a must. Soundwise is impressive though rivaling my Topping Stack
Yea, it should mop the floor against anything Topping makes imo. Did you get the Poly yet? I would try an other cable first. If I'm using a straight usb c cable I'll only use Thunderbolt 3 or 4 rated cables. That's going to be a much less costly fix than the Poly. Here's a link to the one I use. amzn.to/3IRycua Let me know if this helps! 🍻
I recently had white noise from the Mojo2, the first time in the 6 months I've owned it. I connect to a Macbook Air M2 with an Apple USB-C to USB-C cable. The Mojo2 was also connected to a USB wall power adapter. The change to white noise occurred at the precise moment when someone turned on a fan that was on the same wall power circuit as my Macbook and the USB power. So I assumed it was some kind of a power problem. I unplugged the power, restarted the Mojo2, and it went back to normal. Any ideas are welcome. A DAC is useless if it will randomly start outputting white noise!
The general consensus and my opinion is it has to do with the cable. I use Thunderbolt 3 or 4 rated cables with my M1 Macbook pro and have never experienced the white noise issue. I'm pretty sure the apple cable is intended for charging. Here's a link to the exact cable I use. amzn.to/3IRycua Let me know if this helps! 🍻
@@MisterChibs Greatly apprciate your response. Yesterday I purchased a Thunderbolt 4 cable and will use it for my gig tonight. I'll let you know. I love the Mojo2 sound and design and hope to keep using it.
Gosh, touch wood, this discussion is entirely new to me. I use my Mojo 2 with the Poly and I’ve never encountered white noise. The problem must be related to cabling. I’ll try a cable setup and see what happens.
It’s definitely not a problem with Poly or hooked up to one of my streamers. Just with my iPhone when using an aftermarket straight usbc to lightning cable. Let me know if you end up testing this out. 🍻
No white noise with Apple products but I did have the bit rate hanging issue when I first got the Mo2. That doesn’t seem to happen anymore. Thanks for the video.
did they fixed it? or does it still happen 2023? I was planning to buy it till I saw this. now I think about EverSolo Z8 instead. buying 2nd hand mojo 2 is dangerous because of this. I have Focal Utopia 2022 + Mayflower Objective 2 AMP + GSX 1000 sound card, I need new AMP+DAC for them. They will be used only connected to a computer, not phone. Windows more precisely,
@@MisterChibs I just bought it open box from ebay. does it have good spatial room space like hd800s? i mean the focal doesn't have that much but does the DAC will make it narrowed?
@@X7007 I’m not sure I understand what you’re asking. HD800s is a headphone not a dac/amp. The Mojo 2 will work well with HD800s and most other sets of cans. I would be nervous buying open box myself but if it works and saves you some cash then you’re good. 👍🏻
@@MisterChibs yes I have hd800s and focal utopia 2022 that I just bought what I hope is that I will have the soundstage almost as hd800s with the focal and the mojo2 . do you have a good soundstage with mojo2 with many headphones? the seller sold like 10 units like this and all reviews are 100% so it will save me 100$
Definitely have occasional white noise issue with my Mojo 2 and iPhone 14 Pro as well - and I’m in Finland and my Mojo 2 has not even seen Canada at any point 😅 Also don’t think I’ve experienced the treaded white noise with the Apple adapter but then again that’s just too bulky for on the go listening. Sad to hear that neither the firmware update nor replacement unit fixed this, sounds like it’s just something we gotta live with - which is pretty damn annoying given the price of the Mojo 2.
Actually, I don't want to jinx it but this new DD Hifi cable I got seems to work without issues. I listened for an hour and a half yesterday and so far so good! Going to give it some more time for testing before I fully recommend but it's looking good man! 😉

@@7quidstudiothat’s your problem. Get a Thunderbolt 4 rated usb C cable. The one’s I use are by Cable Matters and can be found on Amazon.
I think Chord would like everyone to buy a poly with their mojo 2 😜
I thought about it but couldn't justify the higher than Mojo 2 price. Especially now since I solved the white noise issue. Video is here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsQcLAVDozsX8?feature=share
Thanks for watching! 🍻
I went to Bay Bloor Radio a couple of weeks back and demoed the Mojo2 and their Demo Unit had the white noise problem. I was using a Iphone 13 Pro Max. They cable I was using is one they provided at the store so not sure what brand it was.
If memory serves, it was a short FiiO cable. I demoed before I bought as well. I originally had the same issue with that cable and my 13 pro. I ordered an updated DDhifi cable that’s supposed to be more compatible. We’ll see. Will update either way. 🍻
@@MisterChibs Honestly In hindsight I regret not telling them about it. they could of troubleshooted with their own unit and maybe saved you some trouble.
@@Jmask5 it’s all good. This is one of the main reasons I posted this video. If we could get a general consensus of what works, perhaps then we can narrow down what the real problem is.
It happened to me as well, my story… here we go: tried to get a mojo 2 from Amazon and it arrived with scratches, I returned it and got my money back. I bought it again but an official mojo 2 box arrived with an old used fiio dac, I returned it but didn’t get my money back from Amazon. Contacted Chord, they helped me to get one in my country. After some weeks I received a Mojo 2 but only one 3.5 worked and I had the same problem that you’ve got. I only notice it or happened to me the last week I had it (because they are replacing my unit thank God) … I used it with an iPhone 13 and the camera adapter (the original/official one).
The is for sharing Edgar. That’s tons of bad luck! Did the white noise blast happen while using the apple camera adapter? Which model iPhone do you have? 🍻
@@MisterChibs i have an iPhone 13 mini and yes it happened while using it with the apple camera adapter
@@JTB-- Shady AF! 😡 I’ve had mostly good experiences with Amazon. If I run into trouble I’ll make a point to call their customer service and work it out with them. Having said that, always support your local brick and mortar store whenever possible. This sort of stuff never happens at brick & mortar. 🍻
iOS devices do not have “exclusive mode” for DACs. This means that system sounds (clicks, alarms, etc.) can be tossed into the stream going to the DAC. No problem if your music is at lower sampling rates, but if you are running higher rates and then the system tosses in a low-rate system sound, you get a blast of white noise. So it is worthwhile to turn off system sounds and go into Do Not Disturb mode. Cables can also cause trouble (as can the iPhone’s own lightning connector which might benefit from a swab or two of DeOxit) but try Do Not Disturb mode first.
@@leafyleafyleaf thx for chiming in! I ended up finding a good cable and don’t get the noise problem even with notifications turned on. 🍻
My ipad pro 2021 with usbc also gives me white noise. On my desktop with MacBook pro M1 2021, no issues with usbc or optical. Yeah bummer with portable ipad but perfect with my fiio Dap.
You may have better luck with a thunderbolt 3 or thunderbolt 4 rated cable. Try one out and let me know! The Mojo 2 is very picky with cables. 🍻
Anyone having this issue on iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 17.0.3? I just got my first Mojo 2 and I’m a little terrified to try it after these videos, because I use custom IEM’s and my ear are literally my income. I can’t damage either.
I can't blame your hesitation. Check out the short linked here and follow my cable recommendation to be safe. If you want to chance it, grab a crappy pair of headphones, turn on music, and walk away for an hour. If you come back to music, you're probably okay. The Mojo 2 is very picky with cables. 🍻ua-cam.com/users/shortsQcLAVDozsX8?si=2ihjwprg3zl3cDGz
Same issue with any USB-cable I tried into my PC (Windows). Bought a Audioquest Forest OptiLink Toslink to replace connection with; no more issues.
The Netherlands here.
Thanks Bas. Optical has been rock solid for me too. I’ve had success using a straight usb c cable into my MacBook Pro. You may want to try a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 rated cable if you want to go down that rout again. 🍻
I have had this problem with both a Mojo and a Mojo 2 on an iPhone 12 Pro Max and an iPhone 14 Pro Max, using two different Apple Camera adapters. It doesn't happen that often but it does happen. I only realized now that i saw your video that it's a real problem. I thought the cable didn't sit well.
Did you find a real solution by now?
Yes, here's the video

I’m waiting for mojo 2 to be delivered. Got iPhone 15 pro so it will be usb c to usb c cable for me. Hopefully it works.
Congrats. Make sure you use Thunderbolt 3 or 4 cable and you should have no issues. 🍻
How does it sound with its original usb cable ? The cheap one. USB and digital cables are quite sensitive to all sort of things like impedance
It doesn’t come with a lightning to usb C cable. It just comes with a short Micro to usb A cable meant for charging.
My lightning to usb c cable I got with my vioelectric chronos dongle dac works fine. It just maxes out at 48khz unfortunately. Either way I got mine with the poly attachment
The Poly is definitely a nice workaround! The cable I’m testing has been flawless so far. I’ll post an update about it eventually. 🍻
For some reason ddhifi never works with my iphone ipad. Did audio quest and some el cheapo wire and it worked. Never had the white noise problem coz it just straight up didnt work. Hope you get yours sorted out, mojo 2 is just a pleasure to listen to.
It really is! Have it connected to my 2 channel system and listening as I type this. I wound up finding a compatible cable. 👍🏻
ua-cam.com/users/shortsQcLAVDozsX8?si=3RdR-nWjBvERrgnT
I had the white noise issue very early on when connecting to my iPhone 13. Once I stopped using my phone and only use it on my computer the problem no longer returns. I kept thinking it's the lightning connector that is causing all the problem. Lightning connectors have always been a pain.
It’s definitely related to the type of lightning connector. I made an update to this with one that works if you’re interested.
ua-cam.com/users/shortsQcLAVDozsX8?si=mwTD48kwdVwKUrtH
The apple camera adapter also does the job. 🍻
Maybe I’m misunderstanding your issue but I thought you had to use the Apple printer dongle to get iPhone to output digital format.
The Apple lightning to usb camera adapter works but adds bulk in conjunction with a usb a - c cable. Aftermarket hifi cable companies make straight lightning to usb c cables that reduce that bulk. This makes a difference if you're on the go & pocketing the mojo with iphone.
Just ordered mine. I'm on an S21 ultra so hopefully I'll get no issues. You deserve more subs dude ❤
Thanks!! hope you enjoy your Mojo! 🍻
Hi Mr. Chibs! Really like the way you make the video, so I'd like to humbly ask for your opinions:
- Do you think of a DAP that sounds as good as the Mojo 2?
I know the Mojo 2 competes with desktop-level DACs, but I was looking for a mobile solution, so either a dedicated DAP (I'm looking at the new Astell & Kern SR35) or the Mojo 2 + Mobile phone for me.
The added mobility and elegance is a plus for me, but if at more or less the same price, no DAP can beat the Mojo 2, I'd still go for the Mojo 2 because for me sound quality is most important. Would like to hear everyone's opinions if possible. Thank you guys :)
Thanks! I don't think you can get better sound quality out of a dap than you can with the Mojo2 (currently). It's SQ competes favourably with desktop DACs and DACs on my expensive integrated amps. If you're considering getting a DAP I think the main reason is that you don't want your phone with you so you're better able to disconnect. I always like to have my phone with me and find the ui, hardware, and overall experience is better on my iPhone than a DAP could offer. If I want to "Disconnect" I can turn it on airplane mode.
Happy to change my mind if I come across a better solution but that's how I feel for now. The phone offers the best hardware / Ui and the Mojo II puts out stellar sound. Hope this helps!
🍻
Great video series on the Mojo 2! Have you by any chance tested whether this issue happens when using an optical source instead of USB?
Thanks. Optical works perfectly. 🍻
Hi. I got the same problem with iphone 13 pro and 14 pro but not problem at all with iphone 8 plus, using a brand new ddHifi MFI09S. I don’t have this white noise issue earlier with Hidizs LT02 usb-c -> lighting though. So strange.
I thought it may due to MFI cable that not support the new iphone ?
Thanks for sharing. You're not the only one with this problem with newer iphones and the 9s. I've been testing 2 versions Mfi07S and so far no problems at all. I'm going to do a quick video in the near future on this. DDHifi mentioned they updated compatibility with this specific cable so it looks like Apple changed something internally and the 3rd party market is playing catch-up. 🍻
UPDATE!! Change OTG cable to MFI07S, work like charm. No problem at all. So IMO, it’s MFI09S that causing the problem.
@@prakasitt Yep, I just released a short video on this and can officially agree with you now. Something must have changed internally with more recent iPhones. Chord Mojo 2 Cable…Finally!
ua-cam.com/users/shortsQcLAVDozsX8?feature=share
My new Mojo2 has shown the white noise issue after a month of use. It was connected to an iPad Pro using a USB C to USB C cable. The white noise showed up when I tried to adjust the volume of the Mojo2. The white noise disappeared after unplugging/replugging the USB C cable from the iPad charging port. If cable is the root cause, my solution is buying a Poly and using Roon to stream Qobuz and local music from my server - no cables are involved. Chord should look into this issue very seriously and develop a solution to it. Appreciate everyone sharing experience here.
Usb C cables can be very poorly designed and this is why you had the noise problem. Check out this Adam Savage video comparing them (Linked below - really interesting).
Sure, getting Poly works but so does a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 rated usb C cable. Going this rout will save you a lot of $ too. The ones I recommend you can get off of Amazon. Look for "Cable Matters, thunderbolt 4"

For the widespread functionality of the Mojo 2 it really can’t be compared to other DACs especially at it’s price. No other DAC can match its combined versatility and sound quality for close to its price.
@@cbmore28 agreed! 🍻
@@cbmore28 for me, it’s very dependent on how fatiguing your headphones are. Only problem with mojo 2 (unlike mojo 1 which had a coupling capacitor), is you have to tame the detail. Luckily I managed to match the perfect smooth sounding commuter headphones that you could eq really well which are b&o h6. Every other brand of headphones (at least commuter / midfi level) were grating and I much preferred my Sony zx507 dap with them.

the camera adapter fixed the issue or the other cable you were talking about without the lightning camera adapter
@@mattchampion3567 they both fix the issue. I prefer the direct cable (ddhifi) because it's less cumbersome.
Mine still has the white noise with the camera adapter
@@mattchampion3567 Interesting. Try a different cable from the camera adapter to the Mojo. Failing that, try that DD Hifi cable I linked. Let me know what happens.
Picked up a Mojo 2 a couple of days ago to pair with my iPad Pro (not M1). Tested it out for a while and it was good. Had a friend over and been playing music for good 10 hours when suddenly white noise blasted. Reconnected the iPad, and after 10 minutes, hiss blast again, then gain after 10 minutes. Restarting the iPad solved the issue for the next 30 minutes. Been listening to music for a couple of hours today and only got blasted once. This is in the opposite side of the world from Canada, so it’s definitely an issue with their latest batch.
Thanks for sharing. I don’t think it has to do with region either. Which type of cable were you using?
@@MisterChibs It’s a non original USB-C to USB-C. Never had problems with that cable before, I used to use it to connect to my Focusrite Scarlett. I will buy an iPhone Photo adapter this week and try it with my iPhone. Also ordered another USB-C from Amazon to see if it fixes it.
@@ryt-is Make sure the usb C cable is rated at thunderbolt 3 or 4. In my experience, this makes a difference. Let me know what happens.
@@MisterChibs It might be that Thunderbolt cables are just much higher quality, than standard USB-C cables, so they don't drop packets that much. I'll steal my docking station's Thunderbolt next time I'll have a long listening session.
@@ryt-is please do and let me know👍🏻
I started out with a USB c to micro USB. Fine as long as I didn't finnagle the cable, but of course, as soon as I moved the unit or put it in a pocket: Blast! White noise explosion.
I upgraded my phone to a pixel, still had white noise blasts. Got a USB c to USB c cable from a random charger I wasn't using and solved a lot of the Blasts. But I noticed that when the connected cable, either end, faced down in a pocket, the Blasts came back. U either have to have Darko Audio sized pockets (apparently he's over 2m tall), or be rather careful the USB connections don't get jostled around.
I love the sound of this little beast, so I'm keeping it, but I'll probably get a questyle m15 for when I have to move around a bit more. Has anybody tried that one? Convincemeaudio raves about it
Was I first? Hey! I was first!
Thanks for sharing your experience! So your issue has to do with the cable wiggling around. I got blasted with the mojo being completely still and out of any pockets. It was on the arm of my chair the last time it happened. Have never been blasted with the apple camera adapter even when in my pocket. 🍻
@@peregrinodisastrado yesss 🤙🏻
@Mr Chibs yeah, as far as I can tell, it's the cable jiggling that's the problem, but USB c is making it better. With the micro USB I got some random white noise Blasts, but the cable was pretty short (wanted to have both the mojo 2 and the phone in the same pocket, which was too optimistic), so I can't discount a minor movement while I was head bobbing to incubus
1 year with mojo 2 and iPhones (recently updated to 14) using a little "cheap" micro usb to lightning. Never had the problem. No problem with iPad and usb C to usb C standard apple cable as well...in Canada ;)
Thanks for sharing 🍻
The iphone cable is 4’’ long and terminated in L on each end (very handy and compact) I also got a MagSafe ring (a thick one) to stick on the bottom of the mojo. It has very strong magnet and it stick to the phone with his MagSafe case. I totally agree with you it is a fantastic dac. I use it as well in my living room setup with a SMSL VMV A1 amp driving the Warfdale Lintons. Fabulous tone!
@@guystpierrecomposer MagSafe is a cool idea for charging! I was looking into the Lintons recently. Really well reviewed.

Hi there! I'm here to report that this is not only an iPhone related issue, it also happens with Android phones. I just got the Mojo 2 and I get the same white noise blast when I connect it directly to my Samsung S22 Ultra. Interesting enough I had already watched your video while I was researching about the Mojo 2, when this happened to me I remembered hearing about it somewhere and I came back here. It's frustrating that there's not an official post or update addressing this issue. However I found the solution of using the Mojo 2 with a phone a little impractical and I have always had in my mind the idea of pairing it with the Poly even if the price is ridiculous. After this issue it's a must. Soundwise is impressive though rivaling my Topping Stack
Yea, it should mop the floor against anything Topping makes imo. Did you get the Poly yet? I would try an other cable first. If I'm using a straight usb c cable I'll only use Thunderbolt 3 or 4 rated cables. That's going to be a much less costly fix than the Poly. Here's a link to the one I use. amzn.to/3IRycua

I recently had white noise from the Mojo2, the first time in the 6 months I've owned it. I connect to a Macbook Air M2 with an Apple USB-C to USB-C cable. The Mojo2 was also connected to a USB wall power adapter. The change to white noise occurred at the precise moment when someone turned on a fan that was on the same wall power circuit as my Macbook and the USB power. So I assumed it was some kind of a power problem. I unplugged the power, restarted the Mojo2, and it went back to normal. Any ideas are welcome. A DAC is useless if it will randomly start outputting white noise!
The general consensus and my opinion is it has to do with the cable. I use Thunderbolt 3 or 4 rated cables with my M1 Macbook pro and have never experienced the white noise issue. I'm pretty sure the apple cable is intended for charging. Here's a link to the exact cable I use. amzn.to/3IRycua

Sad to hear that neither the firmware update nor replacement unit fixed this, sounds like it’s just something we gotta live with - which is pretty damn annoying given the price of the Mojo 2.
