Thanks for the hint. Hadn't noticed this one. There is also the Sparrow (a dongle, while the Colibri has a battery) from the same company. I will try to test this one as well and then report back here (in a few weeks).

Interesting. But looks like more of a gaming device than one that can stand a chance against the mojo in terms of sound quality? Do you have any comparison in what leave this one plays?

Insightful, thanks

I did also come to the conclusion that the dongle category is probably best suited. I will post my research notes here to the benefit of those who have the same challenge / set of of criteria: - Best audio quality: Questyle M15 acc to...

I don't fully understand. I plan to use it while backpacking. Are you suggesting that the mojo can run on the battery of the smartphone that I am connecting it too if I remove the battery of the mojo?

...not that the weight is the essential point but weight correlates well with size / compactness which is what I'm after (besides the sound quality) and it's easier to reference a weight than a volume figure. I currently have a Chord Mojo which sounds amazing (to me) with my QDC CIEMs. It's a...

What follows is a little report of my experience as a customer of Music Sanctuary. I bought a QDC CIEM there in 2020. First the positive: Music Sanctuary is the best shop for high end CIEM in Singapore because they have the biggest selection (at least when I was there in 2020) of CIEMs (that...

Anyone with any insight on this?

@crinacle I have not seen the signatures you ascribe to the different IEMs explained. Could you explain which signature is suited for what genre? And is there a signature which is particularly well suited for classical music?

Thanks for the feedback on potential damage of the mojo due to dropping it.

How drop resistant is the Mojo? Mine has been dropped (not by me) from belly height onto a ceramic tile floor. The person who dropped it reported no visible damage. Are there any parts which are easily harmed when they are decelerated quickly (moment of mojo hitting the ground)? Unfortunately I...

Thanks! What if I asked the same question for the classic genre which I know isn't yours but you might have an idea anyway? I appreciate your style of reviewing. You and @crinacle are the only people I know reviewing (C)IEM on a regular basis who attempt to paint a picture of what is good and...

@toranku Have you had the chance to rank the CIEMs and UIEMs you auditioned? If not, what would be your top 10?

Seems that has worked. Thanks all for you help!

Hi, I have unchecked all boxes here https://www.head-fi.org/account/alert-preferences and still get about 20 Emails :L3000: per day that inform me when someone has posted in a thread I have posted before. How can I not get email notifications anymore?

I guess you are implying that the optical is a dummy? I just can remember where I read that the Poly connects to the Mojo via optical but I consider that false now given all of your opposite convictions.

Thanks for all of your input. I didn't know about the timing issues with USB-SPDIF converter. I see the following options to connect a source with the mojo: (a) Android Smartphone which connects to the Mojo via USB cable. Additional investment required: USB OTG micro B - B cable (5$ to 150$)...

In https://www.head-fi.org/threads/chord-mojo-dac-amp-%E2%98%86%E2%98%85%E2%96%BAfaq-in-3rd-post-%E2%97%84%E2%98%85%E2%98%86.784602/page-2385#post-14145488 you mention a critique by @Mojo ideas

That would answer the question whether the poly + mojo produces better SQ results than the mojo + usb cable. What about the other question: Shouldn't a USB-SPDIF-converter produce the same effect as the Poly since both options (USB-SPDIF-converter and Poly) eliminate the USB cable and replace...

My understanding is that is that a USB SPDIF converter takes the signal from a source (e.g. a smartphone) and then allows for it to be further transported via Toslink or Coaxial to the DAC (the Mojo for example). The advantage would be that any noise from the smartphone, the USB that connects...

I am somewhat of a noob but shouldn't the cable switch be the reason? The only role the source is playing is to provide the data. The Dac is doing all the audible footwork (converting the digital into a analogue signal). The only reason why a source could sound bad is if it has lots of noise and...

Thanks for your reply! Just to make it clear: Are you saying that there is no difference between the cable that goes from smartphone to mojo as compared to the cable that goes from mojo to headpones, in terms of how much the cables effect SQ? Also, are you saying that transmitting the digital...

Hi everyone, this is my first post:) I have a Mojo and would appreciate anyone who can share his/her experience or present some well substantiated reasoning regarding the following question: How important is the quality of the cable that connects my Android phone with the Mojo? Is the...
