Lol. Occassionaly you'll see the odd person espousing common sense and reason.

Looking forward to the silver MoJo coming out like the standard Hugo colour.
Fingers crossed

Asked this a couple of days ago but got lost in this fast moving thread.

If I add an ak100/120 to my mojo what kind of % increase will it give in sq over my current Android/mojo setup?
I know this will be dependant on the user but is there much of an increa or is it purely form factor and function?

I'm trying to figure that out too, using it as a headphone stage in my separates system was a big step up compared to my Samsung S6, but I have no way to test what a different DAP would sound like yet

 

[jamato8]

I think a large majority of Mojo owners who don't necessarily appear in these forums will be content with their smartphones. Using a costly DAP as transport is probably the preserve of fanatics, i.e. us.

They don't appear but there are far more that will read them from time to time than you will ever see registered.

I'm completely content with using my ancient GS3.

Yes, I am quite content with my iPod Touch 6th feeding my Mojo. Considering I only listen to progressive music I have every album in high resolution possible (14) half of which are Steven Wilson or his predecessor band Porcupine Tree. After listening for almost 40 years I but a little over 300 albums in my collection so 128GB is plenty of storage.

Also, it is hard to beat Apple's A8 chip for processing speed and the user interface is peerless using Onkyo app. As Onkyo is specifically mentioned in the Mojo manual I believe the Mojo was designed in part with the application in mind.

It doesn't seem mental, it is mental. What a bad way to waste money. At least a Swiss watch, which could be bought instead of the AK for a similar amount, has style.

For me, having come from an X5 and a Hugo, it isn't about SQ so much as form factor, so pleasurable to have a stack that you wouldn't mind getting out of your pocket on the train, not to mention the bands don't get in the way of the control interface

Wouldn't surprise me if the Onkyo app was used in the development stages, the software has good synergy with the Mojo; then again, it has good synergy with the Fiio X3.

I suppose it would be a good service for the community to spin that on its head, are there any pairings, whether source or headphones that just appear not to work at all?

Why is it hard for you to recognize that different people have different priorities? For 99% of the world's population, buying an additional device for listening to music IS mental.

Sys Concept cable
 

 

 

 

 

[Duncan]

FWIW the AK120 Titan that I got was cheaper than the ZX2, doesn't have a really huge connector to allow digital out (especially when my new optical cable rocks up in a few days), has more memory capacity (532gb as it stands before overheads are factored in), and, as mentioned previously, sits much more neatly with the mojo than the ZX2, QP1R and any of my cellphones that I use...

It's up to each and every individuals perspective of if it is worth it or not, me, couldn't be happier with my little setup, but if others are equally as happy with a one box solution, or something that isn't aesthetically matching then more power to them.

I refuse any further (especially as a former well known AK basher) to feel the need to justify how I spend my own money, using the Swiss watch analogy, a five dollar Casio will tell the time more accurately over time, won't it? So why spend more money on a skeleton watch? (Haha, why am I saying that, I do actually really want one!)
