today i had a discussion about mojo connected to ak daps using the sysconnect optical cable, and when i connect my ak100ii to the mojo with the optical cable the eq works, my other head-fier told me his eq does not work when he conencts his ak dap to the mojo
who is right? and how come my eq works while his does not when we connect it to the mojo optically
I've experienced that kind of behaviour, with several different lithium-powered devices, over the years, when lithium batteries have been deeply discharged (very common with all of my faithful Nokia 6310i handsets, for example). I don't know the technical reason why, but it's almost like the charging circuit seems to be taking a while to establish a reliable voltage reading from a deeply-discharged cell, before it is willing to begin feeding the cell a charging current.
I'm not saying that is an accurate guess, and I'm not saying it is what is definitely going-on with your Mojo. But it's certainly not unusual, with lithium devices, in my experience.
Since we're on the topic of charging, may I ask what are the specs of your charger?
Send him an email, he is quite open to requests. I am awaiting his return from the Seasons Holidays. I will order a short micro usb to micro usb OTG with 2 right angled plugs.
Thanks. Is he on these forums? I don't have his email and a Google search gets me his eBay listings and Facebook only, not a website. I don't use Facebook. If you could pm me his email, I'd appreciate it.

You can both be right as the EQ works on digital optical out, but not on DSD files with the AK100II.
Other models may have more processing power, which will certainly be needed to EQ DSD.

well my eq works with optical out, and i wanted to upgrade to ak320 but teh fellow head-fier mentioned that daps like ak and sony zx2 will not have a working eq when connected optically

This a bit off topic here as it is the DAP that will determine whether the digital signal can be EQ'd not the Mojo.
I had an original FiiO X5 and EQ would only work up to 48k sample rate.
The AK100II, which we both own will EQ up to 192k
I cannot speak for any of the others, but I would fully expect the AK320 to EQ at least up to 192k and possibly even on DSD if it has enough processor power.
Hi guys, i got a pair of HE 400i and thinking of getting the mojo to improve the music sound quality.
I mainly use the headphone with my laptop at home. May I know if the mojo is a good choice? Or a desktop amplifier schiit Magni2 + Modi 2 would be a better combination? Also, what is the major difference between a portable DAC/amp, ie the Mojo, comparing to a desktop amp like the schiit's one??
I understand the output options are less in portable DAC/amp, thou how about the sound quality?? Would the large piece of machine, means better sound quality?
Sorry for asking stupid question as to some ppl as i m a newbie! Thanks in advance!

I think you are right and this may well be the reason it is not available on the AK100II, but it does convert to PCM for digital output, so the processing power theory is still a possibility...

At the moment you will be using the DAC in your laptop. Being a laptop, the design of this DAC will not have the highest priority and the sound it produces will not be the best. If you add an amplifier you will be highlighting this weakness.
If you choose the MOJO, you will be replacing the DAC with one of the very best, which also includes a powerful amplifier - best of both worlds.
Also, the HE400i , despite being planar are actually quite efficient and fairly easy to drive, so you have no need for masses of power. The MOJO will drive them very well indeed.
For those asking for DSD files to test out, you can get free sample files from: http://www.2l.no/hires/index.html They have the files in different resolutions. Do note that the original files are PCM files and there is a school of thought that conversion from PCM -> PDM causes some loss of fidelity. That is why Blue Coast Records and NativeDSD process their files directly in DSD AFAIK or sourced only from analog tapes. Blue Coast Records also has free sample files as well.

, especially many ak owners use it with the mojo
