  Is the Mojo overkill to get for mainly spotify?

I am using the Mojo with Tidal HiFi (44.1/16) and it is fantastic.  I don't believe that it is overkill at all.  Not sure about Spotify at lower resolution.

sorry to ask again but what exactly shall i order to conect the mojo to my ak100ii and what length

can you please extcalty tell me what i shall order to not make a mistake that i should choose from

Assuming your AK100ii is in a case, and you're NOT going to put Velcro or Dual Lock between the AK and the Mojo, then you have a couple of options:

Start here: http://www.sysconcept.ca/product_info.php?products_id=349&osCsid=60j32sp90r4co7r5uggklbk204

Then as you fill out the order you put one of the following in the comments section ... depending on whether you want the Mojo's buttons facing away from your DAP (the first option) or if you want the Mojo's buttons facing the AK's back.

- For Chord Mojo/AK100/AK120/AK120ii Tolsink to MiniPlug dia. 5mm - 4.35cm c2c 29deg.(diagonal connection)

- For Chord Mojo/AK100/AK120/AK120ii Toslink to MiniPlug dia. 2mm/5mm - ~2.2cm c2c 90deg. (MiniPlug port directly above Toslink)

I went with the 2.2mm thick cable ... if I was doing it again I might do the 5mm as the 2.2mm is very small and somewhat less robust.

Do u have to use iTunes to use onkyo hf player on iPhone 5 or can I drag and drop my files into the music directory in onkyo? I refuse to go back to iTunes and convert my entire library to Alac from Flac.

What about Korg player? Anyone use that with mojo? Can u drag and drop into it with ifunbox?

You have to use iTunes, but you go the App tab and just drag and drop your music files into the Onkyo app window.

yes ak100ii will be in a case and i will add Dual Lock on the outside of the ak100ii case, i want the chord mojo buttoms to face away from the the ak100ii so this mean i guess i go with 5mm am i right

The 5mm vs 2.2mm is just the thickness of the cable.

If you're putting Dual Lock in between the units then the measurements I have will NOT work.

You'll need the diagonal configuration - but you'll need to measure the center-to-center length and the angle and let Sys Concepts know what that is.

If you call them, they may be able to tell you the measurements ... if they've built that cable before.

Someone on here may be able to give you the right numbers too ... sadly I don't have them to hand (and don't have anything between the case and the Mojo).

Does anybody know why the on ball only glows red regardless of the music file that I play ? I am currently playing flac files through my PC via usb and using foobar. Thanks in advance.

I prefer the lower price and lower profile from Sysconcept for the optical.

  Here's my review of a great USB cable, comes in different lengths

This was the review that brought my attention to the cables, looking for a cheaper option tho

That link shows exactly how I want to stack my ak100ii and mojo

What length should I ask for just to make shure I am giving the correct length

It's diagonal with the mojo buttons facing away from AK

 

[viper2377]

You could call them, drop an email to Drew or I believe there is a note section below choices that allows you to clarify what you are doing to make sure... From there they may or may not understand and contact you.

Here is a video;

You have to use iTunes, but you go the App tab and just drag and drop your music files into the Onkyo app window.

When I subsequently sync backup my iPhone with my Mac, these music files in the Onkyo app are also backed up which means I now have two copies of the songs in my Mac. Is my understanding correct? Some apps like FLAC Player has an option where you can expressly choose not to backup these songs.

The + ball in the middle of my chord mojo seems to be very dim compared to either where it only shows a uniform color when it's on red, is this normal? I have a few other pictures but I'm on mobile right now.

If you go into iCloud settings on your iPhone you can select which apps to backup, just unselect the HD player and then it won't back up those files.
