RE: Windows phones. Win 10 is said to be coming to phones in December.

This thread has a link about Windows phones this thread is pointed to. http://www.head-fi.org/t/784602/chord-mojo-the-official-thread/2025#post_12020136

Anyway I went off googling for whether OTG is coming to Win 10 and found this. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Demos-Windows-10-for-Phones-USB-OTG-and-Arduino-Support-Video-479991.shtml

It says: "As seen in the video, those who use Windows 10 smartphones will be able to attach flash drives to their phones and watch movies or clips stored on the drive." Anyway I am a newbie in this field and I guess you folks know better than I.

One of mine is running the win 10 beta and either that's not enabled yet or it doesn't work to pass out audio.

Decided that although the SQ is amazing from my Android device that I wanted something that stacked better.  
I've bought a new AK100mkii from a US ebay seller.  $399 new with 2 x 64gb memory cards.  Even with the £100 delivery and customs taxes this works out far cheaper than a new one here in the UK.
 
To connect to my Mojo I wouldn't mind a short length optical cable but don't want to pay as much for the sys concept cables.  Anybody aware of any UK/EU sellers that have cables that are less than the standard 0.5m options that I see most places.  I've seen a Fiio L12 short cable, is that suitable?

  There seems to be a great difference of how "shops" operate here in the States and elsewhere. I cannot think of a single store I could go to in the US to trial a Mojo in person. Almost all the audio stores are gone, even for 2-channel. There's the odd place like Stereo Exchange in NYC, but they only carry certain brands, and Chord is not one of them. Living here in Philadelphia, the fifth largest city and the 7th largest metropolitan area in the whole country, there's not a single head-fi shop. Everything here is done over the internet. I'd love to have a shop where I could go and listen, but the only place we can do so is at shows like CanJam. Just a different business model. So when you hear people from the States saying "just order it and try it" you'll understand that's usually our only option. Cheers 
   
  EDIT - Looking more closely it seems that Stereo Exchange might actually carry Chord, but they don't list the Mojo. 

 

Stereo Exchange does carry the Mojo. They have one to demo in the store and have units available to sell. I know since I bought one last week. In fact, the Mojo was introduced to N. America at a big Stereo Exchange event where the Chord rep was there along with others like Audeze, Astell & Kern and many others. And the press was there, John Atkinson of Stereophile and others. Typical big Stereo Exchange event, which they have from time to time. One of the benefits of being in the big city.

Dude! Thanks for the Stereo Exchange tip. I just bought the last one they had in stock.

 
Now the long, initial-charge wait begins...

Just reading through DC head fi meet thread/impressions and it doesn't seem all that positive for the Mojo. Most of who heard it felt it was bright and sibilant and not all that impressed. Now I'm getting worried about my order.
The impressions here on this thread seem to be that it's smoother in the upper treble than Hugo but few have noted that it has a slight upper mids/lower treble peak.

I just read those DC comments and have to say - no disrespect - that I find them completely incomprehensible. My Mojo doesn't sound remotely as they describe. Don't worry about your order; I predict you'll be very happy.

Thanks for the reassurance. The "abrasive and sibilant" got me worried.

I'll be using USB so that is disconcerting. I don't know what gear they were using. But they had some good gear to compare like Multibit Gungnir and Yggy.

iPhone to USB Mojo and JH13 and Grado GH1 on occasion. 
I plan on hooking it up to Cavalli Liquid Carbon and Gustard H10  and see how it sounds compared to the Multibit Bifrost. 
My preference is always smooth, clean and warm for dac and amps.

For the record the Mojo compared to the AGD DAC-19 did not sound overly bright or sibilant. The Gungnir multibit has been reported to be brighter than the DAC-19 so I really don't get the comments that the Mojo is brighter in comparison to the Schiit gear. Also, to my ears, there was no discernible difference with the inputs to my ears besides sampling rate capabilities.

Maybe they have to down it as it's much cheaper than their used to so have to find fault to keep justifying the expensive stuff

  Earlier I posted that i was getting some popping sounds when switching songs with my DX90 today i have the Fiio X5 and there are no popping sounds when switching songs. When the DX90 is being used on its on there are no issues so not sure. Cant wait to try the FiiOX5>Mojo>Oppo PM3. The PM3s are being delivered soon!!

Got my mojo today and have been using it with a DX50 via coax and I have the same problem. Some times loud pops other times staticy interference type sounds, will try my phone see if its the same

They are talking absolute bollocks then to put it mildly. I had mine on a 14 day home trial and if there was even a hint of it being bright it would have gone back. Everyone's entitled to their opinion but that's just plain wrong.
