I need a cheap but well made and reliable portable transport (can be dap or phone) for my mojo, preferably coax but usb will be ok.

Any experiences would be interesting and helpful.

If you have an Android phone use it w/ UAPP app installed. Connect via an OTG USB cable to your Mojo.
Then invest on a big microSD card.

How cheap is "cheap"?

Preferably under £100 but can go higher if absolutely worthwhile

Might not find a COAX source at that price point. I think all Shanling DAPs do USB out; M0 was priced at £99, but don't know if it's still available. M0 Pro is £139. UAPP on an Android device might well be the best option.

Just to clarify, a DAP or phone is not a transport. A transport is a disc drive; either stand-alone or the disc drive part of a cd or dvd player.

What's the purpose of a transport?

 

[jimbop54]

A transport spins the CD or DVD and sends the digital signal to the DAC (digital to analog converter).

 

[m-i-c-k-e-y]

For ME a transport is any device that transfer files/data from a source to another device.
The source could be from a different media/storage device(ie tape, cd, dvd, SD/microSD, built in memory etc.) or network.

One could also argue that a "transport" is the medium through which a package, in this case data, is transferred between two points, i.e., any form of interconnect, be it physical or not, but I'm sure some would say that's nonsense.

My definition of a transport is a piece of digital something that doesn't have analog out. I know that definition breaks for "turntable" but you can't win 'em all.

I'm not sure that i was expecting a discussion about the word "transport", i have solved my problem by retrieving my ibasso dx120 from my wife (who has decided to use her ipad instead) and using this with a coax cable to connect o my mojo.

This all works well
