Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆
I hope it does cause i want to buy one for my family too but quite honestly, I don't see this dropping in price for years... It is just too addicting... I love my benchmark dac2 hgc but find myself listening to the mojo way more due to portability... Benchmark is no slouch and can trounce the...- Shenook

FiiO New Portable Headphone Amp A1 --Classic & Tiny & Metal
It's a small portable AMP. I looked on their main Fiio site and it wasn't clear on the page. If you go to products and portable amps then you will find it there so it's an amp. With a nice look I might add.- Shenook

If you use otg there should be no issue... No analog is being sent that way... A cheap transport or expensive transport using otg is the same quality... Conversion is happening in mojo... Digital 1's and 0's are simply that... There is no way to agfect quality unless bits are lost.- Shenook

FiiO Q5, Flagship DAC/Amp, an Dual DAC, USB/Optical/Coaxial/Line in, share the same amp module with X7.
I agree with you.. Good to differentiate... I already have multiple devices with sabre dacs including my phone lgv10 and my benchmark dac2 hgc desktop dac... Getting an ak based device is high on my list since i now have the mojo which arrived today... Sadly cannot even listen to it for 10...- Shenook

FiiO Q5, Flagship DAC/Amp, an Dual DAC, USB/Optical/Coaxial/Line in, share the same amp module with X7.
Won't argue with you there... I would say sabre is more analytic and ak has better warmth... I have both. And love both depending on gear being used and what i am listening to... Two 9018s in any device is dumb... I think it has 8 channels... Why do you need 2 chips?? No benefit unless you are a...- Shenook

Actually it shares a lot but is a completely different dac chip... The q5 is an ak4490 and i believe the x7 is a sabre 9018 variant... Different sound for sure.- Shenook

Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆
I could be wrong here (please correct me if I'm wrong) but the OTG is digital only? If that's the case you can't really negatively affect 1's and 0's. It wouldn't make sense. Now if an analog signal was being passed we could make a different argument. If I'm wrong, and OTG does supply analog...- Shenook

I can attest that Onkyho, Youtube and stitcher work great. Not sure about bandcamp. I would suggest USB Audio Player Pro for easy clean functional OTG support.- Shenook

They are putting AK4490 which is the same DAC as the $3,400 AK380 http://www.akm.com/akm/en/aboutus/news/20150514AK4490iriver_001/ I think we're good. Sabre 9018's are old hat. If they were going with a Sabre I'm sure they would be going with the new SABRE ES9038PRO ...- Shenook

I would expect a $299-$399 pricepoint... Based on what i read likely around Thansksiving... Again just speculation on my part based on responses of others and the vendor.- Shenook

Dual akm4490s have been confirmed... Ess dac old hat now for high end stuff... Phones even have es9018 dacs now... Ie. Lgv10.. The akm4490 is in the astell&kern 380.. If you look at the specs this is high end quality for mid range cost.- Shenook
