  I'm presuming the cable equally fits original AK100/120 devices to the Mojo?

Yes, the Silver Dragon Toslink Form Fit Cable also fits original AK100 & AK120 to the Mojo as well.
 
Thanks, for asking!
 
Here is a picture with my original AK100.

For those using iphone with Mojo, one of the most costs effective way is using cheap silicon bands meant for bicycles.   

That works nicely. J Franks

My review has been up for a couple of days http://www.head-fi.org/products/chord-mojo/reviews/14363 . I didn't do everything with the Mojo that I wanted to, but I did try as many different combos of IEMs and full size OTG and SPDIF and USB to try and find weaknesses.
The Mojo needs some more help to power the HE-6 in my opinion; these phones are almost like speakers in their power needs. 
My good friend Dillan @dill3000  now has the review model and early reports indicate he is getting amazing results through line out into the heart of "the Beast" http://www.head-fi.org/products/diy-the-beast-power-amplifier/reviews/14314 . Stay tuned for Dillan's review , as someone who makes amps his thoughts should be interesting reading.

Too bad that you spent a ****load of money on something, that is now only used as a transport.

Not saying it's money well spent but transports actually do make a difference. Yesterday someone was asking about the use of expensive DAPs as transports. Thing is with optical and coaxial inputs, the mojo actually runs synchronously, meaning that the clock being used is the transport's. Similar to how we hear about clock upgrades like the different crystek clocks and femto clocks, different daps have clocks of varying qualities which affect the sound quality. The daps also have their own audio processing digitally which affect the sound too. It's like how the iBasso DAPs have shown to have massive sound changes with different firmwares.

Take the AK380 for example, it's got nice femto clocks in them and are really superior as a transport, they sound noticeably better than other daps as transports.

Having said that, no way in hell I would use something so expensive as a transport I'm happy with my X5! Haha!

What a downer.

Which portable transports bypass transport processing/DAC for optical and coaxial outputs?

Not sure if it even exists?

 

[singleended58]

One for each ear?

 


mono DAC system???

Very good idea mate! Thanks.

What a downer.

 
for every downer in life there's always something that uplifts you... today my spark consist of a couple of Album's I'm listening to, one old & one new in today. Brandi Carlile 'live' and Steven Wilson's latest 'Hand Cannot Erase'... thanks to Highfell for spending my dosh & Amazon for a prime delivery for the latter, just the tonic for a man defying death and surviving man-flu...

I've been inventorying my digital cables and testing various transports with the Mojo. Here's what works so far:
 
Fiio:
  X5 - standard mono 3.5mm coax-out
  X3 ii non-standard Fiios TRRS coax-out 
  X5 ii non-standard Fiios TRRS coax-out 
 
A&K (optical):
  AK100
  RWAK100
  AK120 Titan
  AK120 II
  AK240
 
Cayin:
  N5 - standard mono 3.5mm coax-out
 
Cowon:
  Plenue P1 - optical
 
iBasso:
  DX90 - standard mono 3.5mm coax-out
 
Sony:
  A17 - Sony WMC-NWH10 + standard micro-usb cable
 
Apple:
  iPod Touch 5G - Apple CCK + standard micro-usb cable
 
Lootoo
   PAW 5000 - optical
 
 
The coax and optical interoperability has been very good so far, with the exception of a cheap optical cable that broke after about 10 minutes of use and some cheap coax to 3.5mm adapters which had intermittent contact right out of the box.  I guess you get what you pay for.
 
The non-standard (TRRS instead of mono) coax-out cables on the newer Fiio DAPs are very annoying.  They convert to RCA, which means another adapter or cable for the Mojo and they will eventually get lost.  It would be nice to only have to carry one 3.5mm coax-out cable with the Mojo.  My compromise in to get two 6" Moon Audio Black Dragon coax cables for the Mojo - one with mono 3.5mm and one with 3.5mm TRRS for Fiio.
 
My suggestions to manufactures are:
  1. If you want to use coax as your digital-out, use a separate port, so that standard cables can be used. [like iBasso, Cayin and original Fiio X5]
  2. If you want your digital-out to share a jack, use 3.5mm optical, because that is also a standard configuration. [like A&K and Lootoo PAW 5000]
  3. Reread 1 & 2
 
We are used to Apple and Sony having proprietary connectors, but they have enough market presence to pull it off.  Nobody else should even consider the possibility.

Like it or not,Chord Mojo is the most successful device ever launched and this thread full of people who enjoy it so much can confirm it.
Very pleased for Chord Electronics with their success, i knew it.
Can't wait for the accessories to be available.

Very good idea mate! Thanks.

 
 
Rubber band?? Nah...what a good way to ugly up a nice unique item.
 
If the power claims turn out to be true which make no sense based on spec but hey...never know? Ima try one and test it and post a video of it relative to an ifi micro IDSD . Un edited vid from one to the other demonstrating raw power.  I'll buy one right away if this turns out to be the case.
 
Until then I'll unsub and let ya'll enjoy the beauty that is this little piece of awesome.
 
Velcro over rubber....especially orange
