Just stopped in to a local HiFi shop, and asked what DACs they sold and he told me all they sell is all-in-one network streamers, ie to pay Spotify, Apple Music, or Tidal from your phone.... I've seen this a lot lately. They still sell top notch speakers and amps and cabling, but when it comes...

I've become a huge fan of DSD. I currently use a Chord Mojo, but the battery has died from constant charging (oops) so I'm in the market for: EITHER another Chord DAC, or a Denifraps Ares II which I understand is R2R direct Native DSD DAC, or a ESS Sabre type DAC, maybe Benchmark or Mytek, which...

I've started using today a Trekstor Primetab T13B and I'm really happy with the results. Better than my Dell Laptop or PC. Also better than the Fiio M6 or my Galaxy S8. And I am using a Audioquest JitterBug.

Question: What device feeding data to the Mojo makes Mojo sound the best? (ie laptop, desktop, tablet, smartphone, digital audio player, something else...) I assumed they all sounded the same but now I've tried a desktop, laptop, smartphone and "DAP", and the difference is stark between them.

I'm trying to use a Fiio M6 with a Chord Mojo to play DSD64 files via the DoP function, using a usb c to micro b cable, but not the Fiio Cable in particular, and I'm getting a lot of buffering type dropouts. When the music is playing it sounds excellent. Anyone know why I'm getting the...

Solved this issue. Bad cable. Sorry.

No, just DSD files. Maybe the phone just struggles initially to handle the task.

I'm enjoying the Fiio Android app. I installed it on my Samsung Galaxy S8. I use it to play dff files (dsd/sacd) through a Chord Mojo DAC. It sounds great, but cuts out once or twice at the beginning of songs. Is there any adjustment I could make to avoid that, or is it my phone? Thanks

I'm starting to think that the files that sound best on my Mojo are ones that I'm playing back at the same resolution they were recorded at. It occurred to me as I began noticing that my new favorite albums to listen to were my modern 24bit albums. Those were recorded natively in the resolution...

Sorry I should have added "to my ears'. I realize cables are controversial.  I assume a few people on this thread are interested and to those few I recommend the Audioquest Cinnamon Micro USB.  I can hear the difference.  But perhaps that's just because I have more audio discernment.  YMMV

Just got my Audioquest Cinnamon Micro USB Cable.  Hoo yeah!   Big improvement.  Amazing sound.

Ok.  I've tried to read the links on post 3 but they never work for me, just redirect me to the bottom of the page.  So this add on module is just for Apple folks?  I'm confused.  One side of it is the two micro male connectors, I get that, the other side appears to be a lighting female.  What...

Yeah, I guess I could've, but I didn't.  Thanks for taking time out of your day to tell me that.

sweet, so this is something they'll be selling in the near future?   I'm personally not worried about damaging the Mojo because I would construct from home materials the perfect stand/brace to make sure everything lined up perfectly without exerting pressure.  I don't care how it looks as I'm...

Ok thanks.  1686 pages makes going back through this thread looking for answers pretty much impossible.  Still interested in anyone who's used a  solid adapter.

Has anyone tried Mojo with a solid usb adapter, or as short a usb path from a PC or laptop as possible? Curious if this improved sound quality. Also curious about SQ improvements anyone's noticed by using high end usb cables. thanks

I wonder if any local club DJs  use the Mojo?   I think you might get everyone dancing way more.  You'd  probably become a pretty in demand DJ.  Hmmm... I may do it! 

Anyone else notice how much the Mojo seems to love 16bit/44.1khz (redbook standard CD) ?  I feel like some of my 16bit flac files sound more realistic than even some of my DSD.  

"Originally Posted by Rob Watts  Sound quality does not matter. By this I mean it is not the most important thing - its the ability to get emotional satisfaction from music (musicality) that is primary. And I get to "enjoy" lots of über DAC's at shows - and for me - and of course this...

Hi, First Post. Long one, but Ill add a tl;dr at the bottom.   I've had some interesting experience with the Chord Mojo I'd like to share and get some thoughts.  I was using an Arcam rDac which I enjoyed, but it was limited to 24/96 and sounded a little "digital" to me.  Adding the Audioquest...
