  I think we can also consider the cost factor (the stronger cables are $100-$129) versus the release of the Chord module that will hide the Apple cable.  
 
Any estimated release date from Chord?

Thats the only problem with having to use the CCK required with iOS devices. This means to circumvent it would require custom cables, these are usually made to order on a small scale and hence costs.

Chord Module would be the solution for most

Does anyone know who sells a custom cable like this with the cck built in so you only need to use one cable?

Toward the bottom of the previous page is a link to one on eBay and there are links to options in the third post of this thread.

  Hi guys
 
Im in need of help / resolution to my issue with the Mojo I bought a couple months ago to use with my Audeze LCD-X.
 
I am a music producer and use it with my headphones when composing / mixing
 
Issue is, i also reference other materials outside of my production software (youtube tutorials, reference tracks etc)
 
The Mojo's drivers seem to lock it to 1 audio source at a time. So I cant play a youtube video for example as the system is locked into the production software.
 
Ive tried ASIO4All drivers as well, but it seems this multiple sample rate detection feature on the Mojo actually makes it impossible to work with more than 1 thing at a time.
 
Is this the case? as if so mines up for sale in the classifieds section as its damaging my workflow, if there is a fix, please save my life!

 
This is an OS issue, not Mojo. But there are ways around it - I got this from Chord's Matt:
 
It should be possible to listen to a YouTube clip and have a music player program such as J River Media Centre running at the same time.
What you need to do is go into the Windows Sound Properties then go to the advanced tab and find the Exclusive mode option.
Make sure this is unticked then apply the settings. Once this is done close everything down and reboot your computer.



 


After the reboot you will be able to keep programs open and play from them as you like.
You can only play music from one application at a time so you must pause or stop playing before playing from another program.
This works with ASIO.

Alternatively you can just use direct sound mode which will pass all audio through the Windows Mixer so everything will play but then you have to be at
a fixed sample frequency.

There is a good explanation here on the J River Wiki site.

Feel free to try this to see if it works - I can't guarantee it will work with all programs but it is worth a test.

I realized that after I asked first question that there was more cables on 3 post. I didn't see them before. I'm wondering why it's so much more expensive. The seller also responded to my post and said they have this available http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/121955742536?
I just would not use it enough to spend that much on it. Also I been looking for the fiio for few weeks and can't find it anywhere. There does look to be another $59 cable on eBay that works to.

My guess is the L19 is produced in higher volume and the other eBay ones aren't.

Good point

I have zero intrest in that thing with its added bulk, on the other hand I will likely buy the SD card module as soon as it's available.

Yeah i was told to do this but it didnt work for me, i assume its an issue unique to music production software, im using Ableton

I apologise that I don't know enough about this, but I wonder if some method of 'virtualisation' might solve the issue. However, owing to my lack of expertise, I don't know if virtualising Ableton might cause problems for latency and driver access, etc., etc. I'm just mentioning it as a possible avenue to explore, but with the caveat that it might be a rabbit-hole.

It is an "issue" of ASIO drivers which only let 1 source of audio through. I also use ableton in ASIO with a CA DAC Magic Plus and I can not watch youtube videos or whatever at the same time.
Also when listening music from foobar2000 with ASIO selected It won't allow anything else through.

A workaround I use is just select "Direct Sound" or whatever its called when I want to watch a video or need to listen to something outside of the main programs.

Also you can drop reference tracks into Ableton and have a better look at it. Hope this helps

asio is direct connection between the dac and software playing the music. asio mode bypasses all windows drivers and processes including volume control thus offering bit perfect transfer. for those who want best from mojo asio is best bet.

Received my Mojo yesterday from TTVJ. Charged it for 10 hours and gave it a listen last night. All I can say is...wow! This is an incredible device, I am in love so far. Early impressions with my Lawton Modded Denon D7000s:
- Musical. The music just flows. While listening, I thought of all the positive posts in this forum and how right they were. Hard to describe in words, but words like musical, analog, and coherent come close. Everything gels together.
- Detailed. Tons of details exposed. Low noise floor really helps here. The fact that there is this much detail while being super musical is amazing.
- PRAT. The pace and timing is phenomenal. This thing is super fast. I notice especially on fast drums, cymbals, maraca shakes, etc. I can hear each distinct hit within a super fast section of music. And it lands in a way where you can really experience the desired pace of the music. Toe tapping. Amazing!
- Ink black background. Music comes out of nowhere. It is crystal clear from the lowest volume click upward.
- Huge volume range. Each volume click is very small, which provides a very large range of volumes, especially toward the lower end of the dial where I typically hang out.
- Non-fatiguing. With a new audio toy, I usually end up hurting my ears on day 1, as I turn it up louder than normal. This was very limited with Mojo, it didn't fatigue as much at higher volumes. Also, there was less temptation to get too loud because all the detail is there at the lower volume levels.
- Ergonomics. It's hugely biased by the music, but I love the look of it with the colored orbs.

I'll ask too.

Chord, can you give an estimated release date for the module that hides the CCK?

Its only weeks away now sorry for the delays

Thanks, I don't run this setup often, it's more of a treat. I usually feed the Liquid Carbon from the Audio-GD DAC-19 as I'd rather not deal with battery management on the Mojo while I'm working (I freelance from home). That said, when paired with the Mojo the Liquid Carbon has an even more musical and enjoyable presentation for me. The Mojo does its magic in the DAC and the Liquid Carbon slightly adds some dynamics, some attack, some soundstage, and yes, a bit of punch over the Mojo alone. It may not be more 'accurate' but the pair is slightly more musical for me than the components are separate. Like I've already said, it's a flavour, that's all. For what it's worth 100% of my listening is straight from the Mojo when not sitting at my desk working.

Edit: By the way, the ETHER C has very fast drivers and is fantastic for being able to reproduce the smallest subtleties in the music. Control is excellent.

Edit 2: I'd like to clarify before there are a million questions on the pairing that if the Mojo wasn't so good on its own already then I wouldn't be downplaying the qualities of the Liquid Carbon as much. It's a fine amp for the price, maybe the best I've heard at this level. It's just that the Mojo is so good by itself the Liquid Carbon isn't really required, it's just that the pair sounds very musical and impactful together.

 
 
Thanks for the great explanation of using the LC (or most any external amp) with Mojo. I’d like to add that using the LC allows using balanced HPs (lots of discussions about balanced vs SE on Head-fi and elsewhere), and also allows for changing the sound of the music by using different cables as inputs to the LC. Not talking about better or worse—just sometimes a welcomed difference. Mojo is very versatile. 
 
MBP → SDragon → Mojo → AQ Sky → LC

Thanks for the response! I'm very excited to get my hands on that item.
