Chord Mojo Connections to Apple iPhone, iPad or MacBook

DREW BAIRD | MOON AUDIO STAFF/

The Chord Mojo does not have an Apple authenticity chip. No Apple chip means you can’t connect your Mojo directly to an Apple iPhone, iPad, or the latest MacBooks.

The Apple authenticity chip essentially tells the DAC or digital device to output digital audio. It's Apple's way of protecting their market share and audio connections to their products.

To connect, you need an Apple CCK + a Silver Dragon or Black Dragon USB Cable.

When Drew Baird, P.E., put his first audio system together, he found himself dissatisfied with the audio cables available in his price range -- so he decided to make his own. He's an engineer, after all, with the expertise to dabble in this sort of thing. He studied the types of materials that went into the big-name audio cables and figured out how to improve upon what was out there. After making his first batch of custom audio cables, he offered the extras to fellow audiophiles. They were a hit, and Silver Dragon cables were born. At the time, Drew was working full time as an engineer and nurturing his burgeoning cable business on the side. In 2010, Drew quit his day job to run Moon Audio full time, with his wife, Nichole, taking on the marketing and administrative demands of the business. In the decade since, Drew has expanded the Dragon Cable line and developed customizations for just about every headphone on the market. He's passionate about music -- ask him about the Pixies if you've got a few hours -- and every day at Moon Audio is a chance for him to help bring audiophiles and music pros closer to the sounds they love. Drew has an engineering degree from Penn State and maintains rigorous certification through the National Society of Professional Engineers.
