My problem with OTG Type C/Micro cables is not at the DAC/Amp connection, but at the DAP/Smartphone connection. Its so easy to tap it just wrong at the phone's connection and freak the phone out so that you have to restart the phone or wait for it to reset whatever protection circuitry it has...

I love the silence from the haters after Z's post. No response? Z wonderfully exposed your pathetic head-fi egos. IMO, the most important point Z makes is that its just a hobby and people on here are discussing it as if its religion. What I really don't understand, after, at one point, owning...

Did you try it with other devices yet? Sometimes its the dap that has the usb fussiness. For example, when I had the Pioneer XDP-100R, I would have to click "ok" to switch to usb mode every time I plugged the dac/amp in. Additionally, it would only play files on the device through the usb but...

It's probably a repair. I had this happen to my ifi idsd bl, as well. Sent it in to ifi, they fixed it and sent it back in about 10 days. Since the repair, the usb connection is much more solid and consistent. USB devices are not really designed for use with a portable amp that well yet. I've...

So glad this point has been made on headfi. I've debated the use of EQs with purists for years. It's nice to not have to spend $5,000 on a Manley Massive Passive just to get clean eq adjustments. Nicely done, Schiit.

lol, such is life, my friend, such is life. Especially in the audiophile world. I have an Asgard 2/modi 2, ifi idsd black label and a Mojo. Mojo is supposed to have this magical musical qualify that eclipses space and time! It does have a smoothness, but I find the black label more articulate...

Question 1: Does Moon have a Blue Dragon Micro USB to MIcro USB cable to connect Android to Mojo? I dont see it in their OTG cable section on their website, but I hear they have one. Anyone have a link? Question 2: Might be more of an Android question, but occasionally when using either Type C...

  Sorry, I was just kidding. I simple like the sound of the made-up term "Double DACing" which isn't a real thing. Or, maybe it is? I'm sure there are plenty of folks on this forum who would love to get stupid technical about it. In fact, I might argue that you can do a Triple Decker DAC...

  You know, I really can't see why not?

  That sucks, because I think double DACing just sounds like a wicked awesome thing to do ;) But, there you go, certainly the Mojo DAC would out perform the V20's DAC, yes?. I'll, of course, play with it both ways when I get the adapter. On a tangent note, I love my V20. I have the S7 edge...

The purpose of the question was not how to bypass the mojo dac, but how to use type c from the v20 to the mojo for the purpose of driving low efficiency/high impedance cans. Since the Mojo happens to the be the amp I already have, the V20 is the phone that I have and the V20 is not powerful...

That's it!    Thank you Collin!

Ok, then just go type c to full size usb and then convert it to micro usb? I have a lovely adapter that connects the lightning adapter out of my iphone to micro usb, would love to have a type c to micro usb

Yeah, doing that now, of course, just wondering if such an adapter exists. Is it silly to DAC the V20 DAC with my mojo?

Please forgive, I'm sure this noob question is somewhere on this thread, but is there an adapter (type c to micro usb) to connect my V20 to my portable amp? Anyone have a link? Is it even recommended? or should I just go mini to mini? Thanks

Ummm. Am I the only one who thinks there is something wrong with his tooth? It sounds to me like you need someone to mod your tooth, not the headphones...perhaps a dentist? Seriously though, everyone's head not only has a different shape, but also different placement of nerve endings. For...

Its like with any child who is throwing a tantrum, just ignore them and they will eventually stop. Those who have reacted emotionally to this subject in either side of the issue are just as guilty. The subject is fine, worthy of debate, as is the video. And, there are always going to be people...

I really like the look of the Mix Master, be fun to demo them, why not give em a try? I'm sure that most of the money put into the product is still style over substance...not at all surprised that they are out of Park City where everyone tries to out do the other in Sky wear and gear. I...

Funny, but this video seems to proove definitively that there IS burn in. And Im not just talking about the dude's bong. In the test he does acknowledge that there are deviations of 1 db or so in each octave. And one db being the smallest audible change in music to the human ear, combine this...

I'll start. Alessandro MS1i/MS Pro upgrade to the so called, "MS1000 and MS Ultimate" http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/ale...arning-323271/

Did a search and can't find a singular thread that compiles the best headphone mods. One of the many blessings of headfi is the amazing stuff I've learned that I would have never thought of no matter how many headphones I bought or how many magazines I've read. One of the reasons I so few...

Funny thing is, my most over rated and most under rated phones that i've heard are the same damn phones. When I first purchased the K701s I thought they were way over rated. Didn't like them at all. Bassless, boring, flat in the worst way, inefficient and nothing special. Then I burned them in...

This question comes up a lot and the overwhelming answer has always been and will always be SR-60, as you can see. In fact, the SR-60 is often the answer even when the price goes up to 100, except for then, its the sr-80. There is just no competing with it in this price range. Be careful though...
