Looking at the dimensions of this thing (should arrive in 2 days), it seems too thick to attach to a cell phone and put in your pants pocket. A large jacket pocket would probably work. So, for portable use, it seems to me the solution is to put iPhone in one pocket, Mojo in your other pocket, and connect with a short USB A to USB C cable which I have (with Apple Camera Adapter, of course). Then, it’s a matter of a wired connection from Mojo to headphones. I have a Moon Audio Silver Dragon Portable for that.
While I bought it mostly for use at the mother-in-law’s house, portability doesn’t seem that difficult, just not as easy as the Dragonfly. I guess it will depend on the SQ to determine if it’s worth the bother.
Received my Mojo 2 this morning. It sounds really good with Roon. I just plugged it into my ethernet connected RPi4 and Focal Clear headphones and powered it up. I doubt I will even fool with the EQ and I don’t use crossfeed. I’ll try using it with my laptop and iPhone later, but too busy listening to Roon for now. It’s going to be perfect for using at my mother-in-law’s house.
Yesterday I received from Amazon a 6 foot USB C to micro USB cable for power and a 6 foot USB A to USB C cable for audio. I think I paid around US $10 each for the cables.
A possible problem…my Roon Nucleus has crashed 3 times in the last 24 hours. I thought maybe because I was upsampling from 44.1 and 48 to 705.6 and 768, but the last time was with no upsampling. So, to determine if the problem has anything to do with the Mojo 2, I am now switched back to my Meridian Prime.
EDIT: This issue had nothing to do with the Mojo 2 and was resolved with a restore of a 4 day old Roon backup.
I’ve been back on the Mojo 2 for a little over an hour. This sounds so good, I don’t know how to describe it other than it’s more vivid. It reminds me of when I had cataract surgery. All the colors were more vivid. Now, all the sounds are more vivid.
You sound as though you’re really enjoying it. I remember the wow factor of the Mojo 1 when I bought one in 2016. I still listen to it most days, enjoy

Got me curious now as the original Mojo is mighty fine already…
Chord are as close as I come to fanboydom but they are quirkily designed products. I personally like the glowy marble thing but it’s far from universal. The supporting software, e.g. GoFigure streaming control app, is pretty infuriating, previous versions were borderline unusable.
I’ve promised to stick with my Mojo 1 but I’m persuading myself that a second device may be handy…
