    I still owe you a response to this (I had forgotten about it, sorry)! I'll try and get to that later today or sometime this weekend!

    This is part of the reason I returned my Mojo. I thought it was amazing except that it had no bass slam. The major problem though is that it has no ability to deal with any EMI. You cannot stack it with a phone because you get intense EMI noise, even without a USB cable plugged in. They definitely failed to isolate the headphone plug properly.

    Mojo is definitely more sensitive than either my (since sold) RSA Intruder or ALO Audio Int+ OE. Not a problem on a plane, but a PITA anywhere else - to the point that I've stopped using it "on the go".

    Mr. Bear-

    Do you live in a major metropolitan city? Here in Colorado there isn't enough EMI to cause that particular problem much. Occasionally, sure, but moving it to a different pocket is usually enough to curb the issue.

    My cell phone causes that problem. A problem that shouldn't happen with a mobile dac/amp, and that doesn't happen with any other mobile dac/amp I've used.

    Just listen to some piano music, jazz or classical, and compare the Chord Dacs with the Schitt gear.
    You'll send the the Chord packing the next day, I promise.
