I have previously done this and it says hifi on all my streams.  However as someone mentioned above, Tidal maxes out at 44 kHz.  I think there may be plans to be more hi-res in the future.  If I am wrong can someone please correct me.

ok sorry..i tried.
 
but yes rumours of MQA from Tidal, etc...still in the works...finalizing licensing, software issues i guess.
you won't necessarily need a specialized DAC for it thru Tidal (but will still sound better if you do)
see article below from Darko....insightful, examines pros/cons etc.
 
hope Tidal does offer it...or apple offers 'high res'
(they're also rumoured to turn up the bitrate this yr)
...win win for us all.

 Penon Audio has a few selections of cables especially for Mojo. You should try contacting them directly from their site or send them a message on their aliexpress store if they're willing to make a custom type-C USB to micro USB cable. Some stores in aliexpress accept these kinds of requests. I've tried it from another store when I ordered a custom coaxial cable for my Mojo and X3ii. Here's the link to Penon Audio's USB cables available at their website:

pr0b3rThankyou that's really helpful. It would be nice to eliminate the usb-c to micro adapter that I'm using. Don't get me wrong the sound out the mojo is sublime but there's still this little niggle that the adapter could be affecting the SQ of my set up.

Yes. Sublime. Simply sublime.

Question. Once the new extension units come out from chord will these cables still work in configuration, as ive thought of them too.

CHORD MOJO LEATHER CASE - IMPRESSIONS
 
Received the official Chord Mojo Leather Case today. Dimensions: 4" x 3" x 1.1" (L x W x H). The structure is made of plastic. It is a tough case and is well made, but adds a slight bulk. The outside has a black leather accent with an embossed Mojo logo. The inside is lined with gray seude. The included wrist strap is of good quality but as other members stated earlier, the clip on it rubs against the Inputs side of the Mojo and looks like it can scratch the Mojo.
 
Mojo sits snugly inside the case without any movement or rattling. It is a clamshell design that uses the magnetic strip to lock the device in place. Apart from the magnetic strip, there are also 2 notches on the bottom half that slightly locks into grooves on the top half.

Tidal HiFi is CD lossless quality vs compressed lossy quality. Both are 16/44.1 so your Mojo is showing what it's receiving.

I don't suppose anyone knows of a good remote optical switch avaliable in the UK? I need to merge my 2 optical output devices into one input for my Mojo. Thanks in advance for the help.

Listening to Mojo all afternoon today, had a very musical and enjoyable time with it... I am going on holiday to USA, and was thinking of buying a lot of Vinyl to ship back, but.... it is true, the Mojo is that good, not sure I need to buy Vinyl anymore, even though I enjoy it very much still....
 
Mojo gives that feeling of live music being played in front of you. I always felt disappointed come home to my hi-fi after a concert, but now Mojo brings back the musical magic at home... that elusive musicality... Thank you Rob and Chord for inventing this and giving it to us in this small package we can take on holiday.

 Yeah I saw that, fingers crossed if it does go through it means Tidal's library increases massively because that's the one thing that stops me using it! Also it needs to accept personal music like Spotify does.

Sorry guys, I am done with Apple's!
 
The only use I have for them, is to play with them or to help rot my teeth.

@canali -- what are you listening impressions of Mojo so far?
 
I know you'd been eyeballing it for quite some time.

hi brent75, nice to hear from you.
 
it's been sitting in my company's mailroom since tuesday,
as I've been off on holidays this week.
 
so will report back sometimes next week.
 
i think relic had suggested that i just listen to only it and nothing else for 2 weeks straight.
...then return to what  was listening to beforehand to find the contrast.
