To use the Chord Electronics Mojo 2 as an external DAC in your hi-fi setup, follow these steps:

1. Connect a Digital Source: Use a USB-C to USB-A or USB-C to USB-C cable to connect the Mojo 2 to a computer. If using other digital sources like a CD transport or streamer, connect via optical or coaxial inputs.

2. Set the Mojo 2 as the Output Device: If using a computer, ensure the Mojo 2 is selected as the default audio output device. On Windows, install the Chord driver before connecting.

3. Connect to an Amplifier or Powered Speakers: Use the Mojo 2's analog output via a 3.5mm to RCA cable to connect to an external amplifier or powered speakers.

4. Power the Mojo 2: Ensure the device is charged or connected to power for uninterrupted use.

5. Adjust Volume and Settings: Set the Mojo 2's volume to an appropriate level and configure any sound settings as needed.

This setup allows the Mojo 2 to act as a high-quality DAC in your hi-fi system.
