The note 3 is probably doing some up sampling which is hurting your sq into the Mojo. Running uapp would be better as it just send a the file to the Mojo. You already spent a lot on the Mojo, choose a source that lets it do its miracle work. Such as tidal through uapp.
Otherwise, headphone will almost always have the biggest impact on sq.
I'm much less familiar with using Mojo from my Android tablet and phone. I've used UAPP alone to play music (setup basically to test because I brought my Mojo to a meet, and wanted to be certain it worked from Android devices - personally I use my iPhone/iPad, but I am curious now that you bring up using the two apps together):
Would running Tidal, alone, not be the optimal way to playback from an Android device into the Mojo?
To get the two apps running together, do you simply launch UAPP and the two apps automatically see each other?
For what its worth.......its actually cheaper to buy it from custom-cable in the UK and that is including shipping. They deduct the 20% VAT at source coz it ships outside of the EU. My delivery only took 4 days.
I see the iPod nano has a lightning out but you need to make sure it allows for a digital line out through the CCK connection like the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Also, unless you want to be limited to 16/44.1, the nano would need to be able to connect to the App Store to allow you to buy and download Onkyo or another app allowing for high resolution music.
I used ASIO in Foobar with various sampling rates, even DSD.
ASIO was full of bugs, so I swapped for WASAPI. It is much more stabil, but seems not to play DSD in original sampling rate. Up to 192kHz there is no problem. But with DSD it seems to be downsampled to 44. According to Mojo button colors.
It is not a main issue, but I do have some DSD albums. Is there a WASAPI DSD component I should download, or what it the problem?
Hi guys. Need a little help. New mojo owner here (just started dabbling with audio gear for the first time 3 weeks ago )
I'm currently trying to run and iPhone 6 + mojo + tidal HIFI setup. I want to see if the extra $ for tidal is worthwhile (currently running on Spotify premium).
The problem is when I'm running tidal, the ball remains red. I tried changing the settings in tidal to all HIFI, but the problem remains. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

The android os up samples by default (not sure what the reasoning it) . To stop that the app needs to have a driver that specifically takes over the external dac and by passing the android os. Uapp does that, the tidal app does not. Neutron can do it too.
Inside uapp there is a spot to login to your tidal account and play tidal directly through the uapp app. This bypasses the android os and goes right to your dac. It's pretty slick.
I believe the Mojo is revolutionary because it (1) provides a truly fine sounding DAC that (2) is capable of driving full-size headphones in (3) an incredibly small package (4) at an amazing price. In a world of $100,000 desktop DACs and $3,500 DAPs (that, incidentally, can't power full-size headphones and don't sound anywhere near as good as the Mojo), Chord is doing a tremendous service to the audio industry. I hope Chord continues on this path with a whole line of products based on the Mojo.
I've spent a fair amount of time trying to put together some kind of reasonably portable, self-contained, all-in-one audio player with significant storage based on Mojo's excellent sound and small form factor. The goal was to have direct (rather than wireless) access to a relatively large music collection, and to put out of sight the cabling between storage, interface and the Mojo.
This what I've come up with so far:
Banana Pro with on-board WiFi running Raspbian Wheezy, mpd, GMPC on a micro-SD card
Lemaker 5" touchscreen
2 TB Samsung 2.5" SSD connected via SATA to the Banana Pro (SD cards are far more portable, but they are currently limited to 512gb; mSATA might have been be a good choice, but I'm not aware of a readily-available low-power PCB that has an on-board mSATA port (like the Intel NUC)--also I don't know the power requirements of mSATA)
Mojo connected via USB to the Banana Pro
8000 mAh lithium battery
5V Step-Up Voltage Regulator
USB LiIon/LiPoly charger
200 x 130 x 48 mm 3D-Printed PLA enclosure
micro-USB extender for charging Mojo
Switch
Heat sinks and wiring
Weighs approx. 700g (a little more than the original iPad)
It can be operated via the touchscreen or remotely via VNC and other programs on PCs or Android phones. It sounds very good and is portable enough to be moved from room to room or taken outside. It could probably be used on a long plane/train ride or at a coffee shop, as well as a desktop all-in-one.
I will probably move and resize some of the ports, and change the color for the next version. What I wish I could do, but can't because of lack of know-how is:
Build a stronger, more attractive case made of Aluminum
Connect the Mojo output directly (maybe through I2S?) to the Banana Pro rather than through the USB port
Be able to scroll with the flick of a finger instead of having to touch scroll bars; I wish there was a version of Rune Audio for the Banana Pro like the beta version for the Raspberry Pi with Touchscreen
Get a more powerful charger; the current charger is limited to 500mAh--it takes a long time to charge the 8000 mAh battery, and the output probably exceeds the input, which may limit desktop use
Be able to tell the state of the lithium battery used for the front end
Have easy access to the SSD
I'm also thinking of putting together a smaller version without a screen.
Laptops and electronic goods are free of duties for personal import purchases in the UAE. There is also no sales tax. I know this because I was in Dubai for 3 months when I received the Mojo
Shipping from the UK is 18.99 UK pounds (International signed for)
Mojo is 399.00 UK pounds minus 20% VAT = 332.50 + 18.99 = 351.49 pounds
1,900 AED = 372.89 (At current rates although it has been even cheaper at the start of 2016)

From experience. I think I am the first one to purchase Mojo from Custom Cables and delivered in the UAE. I paid duties. Yes I did with DHL. On some other products, I did not need to pay but for Mojo I was charged. I paid more than 80AED IIRC.

As Arnold said. Living in Dubai for the last 10 years, being hit with customs or import duty is a hit and miss unfortunately. And I have ordered tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear over the years.
Anyhow, custom cables was allowed to serve the UAE market as there was no official distributor/reseller until recently. Now that there is one, custom cables cannot sell/ship to us anymore. So this option is not anymore viable.
