I am using a fiio X5 connecting the mojo with coaxial output
Any recommendation if I want to upgrade the player?
Will AK120 be a good choice? 
One more question is that is there any difference between optical and coaxial input on sound quality?
Thank you so much

I am considering an AK100 as they get pretty cheap, that would use with optical output to mojo. What would be the limitations of this setup in term of playback capabilities (DSD, 24/192KHzPCM and so on?) I guess everything gets out in PCM including DSD but is it an equivalent of DSD over PCM we have in Audirvana? 
Also what is the biggest micro SD that can be slotted in? as I saw that 200GB are available now
Thanks


As I noted in my review:

1) Micro USB input - Capable of 44kHz to 768kHz PCM and DSD64, DSD128 and DSD256 in DoP format.
Driverless on Mac, Android and Linux OS. However Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10 will require a driver which can be found on Chord’s Mojo webpage.

2) Coaxial S/PDIF 3.5mm two pole mono input - Capable of playing 44.1kHz to 384kHz PCM (768kHz special operation) and DSD64, DSD128 in DoP format.

3) Standard S/PDIF optical TOSlink input - Capable of playing 44.1kHz to 192kHz PCM and DSD64 in DoP format.

 
 
 
From post #3, in the Mojo thread:
 

 
This will always be a contentious issue (such is the nature of geeky audiophiles

). There will always be fans of one connection type or another.
 
Here's one aspect of the discussion: www.head-fi.org/t/784602/chord-mojo-the-official-thread-please-read-the-3rd-post/8040#post_12209260

Optical is the most immune to RF, but most people experience no RF issues, anyway, and, purely in terms of SQ, there is no preference amongst the input types (USB, Co-ax, Optical):
