Chord Mojo + Dignis Leather Case

The Chord Mojo that I reviewed here is a spectacular little DAC. It is a portable DAC with headphones amplifier in one small package.

I mostly using this Chord Mojo on my home stereo system that consist of gainclone amplifier and DIY SB Acoustic Speakers. It is sound very good and far above it's price. The great sound is actually coming from the DAC inside Chord Mojo with the line output mode ON, pushing 3 volt audio signal to the amplifier.

The battery life when using in this setup is not great, but very acceptable. For the portable use is about 8 hours great music enjoyment which is more than enough for me.

The Chord Mojo using high grade aluminum body shell, meaning it is not so easy to dent if it is accidentally hit something. Unlike the Sony NW-A55 which I have here, the aluminum body is in the different material class. Sony NW-A55 aluminum more soft and it got one dent as I accidentally hit it to the airplane chairs when I traveling to Bali few weeks ago.

Then good things happens, I just got the leather case from Korean company named Dignis. It is a high quality leather case which I really like to share here.


This post is not a sponsored by Dignis or the distributors, hence this is a truly great product that I think I should share.

Their product are made for portable player like this Chord Mojo or others DAP like Sony, Astell & Kern, and many more.

I got this Dignis leather case in used condition for less the price. The leather case condition looks like it already using for quite long time. But no any sign of deteriorated from the leather itself. This leather case brand new price is US$80 and I don't think this is expensive compares to the quality.


The most important for using the casing is the fitment. It should be just right. Not to tight that makes the device hard to release, or more dangerously, too loose that potentially slip out from the casing.

This Dignis leather case is perfect fit to the Chord Mojo. All the corner, buttons layout, and the input output socket are easily accessed. The cutting is precise.




It is very delightful to know that Dignis put the detail on their leather case. The marking for each buttons are marked with the symbols. Quite helpful if you not using this device for quite a long time and want to operate it but forget what those buttons function.


The information I got from the Dignis websites, my leather case model is Buttero Leather made by Italian vegetables leathers.

The leather is smooth to touch with the inside of the casing wrapped with the suede leather. Once again the detail inside are filled by the 'Dignis' wording and purple color touch. Very nice indeed.


There is a possibility this Chord Mojo is stacked with the smartphone. The Chord Mojo is built for that, so does this Dignis leather case.

The lines on the back of the leather case is a pad when contacting with the smartphone. For me, I using it as the device feet, so I can put my Chord Mojo with this leather case on the same rack besides the amplifier.


So, I guess it is all I need to say about this Dignis leather case. It is worth spending to the high grade accessories like this.

OPA1622 Vs. OPA627 High Performance Op-amps Comparison

This op-amps comparison topic is actually boring, but at the same time, many of us still curious about what others think about it. The reason is simply because of the op-amps variation are hundreds and they are depends by the implementation. The op-amps are considerably cheap and an interchangeable electronic components but they are not built for the same function. So in this discussion, I will focus on the modern Vs. vintage high performance op-amps in the simple non-inverting pre-amplifier gain stage.

Vintage Multibit R2R DAC Tier List

At the very beginning of this year, I committed to explore the best multi-bit R2R DAC. This is simply because I have plenty of the resources (from broken old unit CD player of course) and ability to build them up. If you think this kind a recycle from old un-used unit to become something useful, than I should stated myself giving contribute for greener world:) After all DAC that I built in this year, I think it is better for me to list them up again in one single page like this. Then I will rank them up in a simple tier list. The reason for this, so you all know what my opinion about of those vintage multibit R2R DAC especially in the sound quality.

PCM56 R2R Non Oversampling DAC Built

From early this year, I am start to playing a lot with the multibit DAC. They are from Sony CDP TDA1541A here , Nakamichi DAC-101 dual TDA1541S1 here , Clarion DRX-9255EXL PCM1702 here  and Clarion HX-D1 PCM1704 here . What I said playing with them is actually more suitable words because none of them are built by myself. I only study and exploring those unit then make some upgrade especially on the power supply components, signal capacitors upgrade, and bypassing the unused internal circuit for more clearer yet natural sound quality. This upgrade make a lot improvement compare to the first time I listen from it and I can really enjoy what the designer from each manufacture deliver the sound they would like to perform in those units. Those said units are categorized as a parts of hi-end audio system and I really now familiar with the sound signature from each of them. But to be honest, I am not satisfy yet with this condition. Because none of them is built by myself from ground up. ...
