I should check that out. I totally forgot it was included in my childish Xmas level excitement.

First thing I did after setting my Mojo up for it's first charge, after all I did have 10+ hours to play with

I was scrambling to find a USB otg cable, sidetracked me completely.

Good video review, but the buttons still work when you set the volume to the line level shortcut. Also, Mojo does not have galvanic isolation.

I don't think any Android can play quad dsd stutter free. I tried double dsd on Android and even at large buffer setting in uapp it was no stutter free. for double dsd and quad dsd better to use Windows via foobar. I have tried quad dsd and it plays in Windows to mojo without any problems.

BTW has anybody compared mojo with vinyl ?

  I've tried 3 micro usb cables.  Tried both usb ports on 2 macbook pros.  I went to get a camera connection kit just now and it works using the micro usb that came in the box, so its not the cable or the mojo.  It's something with the settings I think.  At least it's not the mojo.

 
Wait.... Camera Connection Kit? That's for iPhones and iPads. 
 
Can you post a screenshot of your Audio Midi Set-up settings for the Mojo with everything set up?
 
 

  Does anyone Mojo gets hot when there's no audio is playing? Maybe mine is something wrong with the battery?

 
It gets quite warm, especially if you're charging at the same time.

OK, finally I able to do testing of playing DSD64 & DSD256 on iPad Air 2 with Onkyo HF player. No background app, no other activity besides playing DSD files.
 
DSD64: no stutter & interruption at all.
DSD256: there are interruptions but I wouldn't say stutter as the pause happens less than 10 times per song.
 
Interesting finding:
Clearing memory (force closing Onkyo HF) won't affect the interruption. In other words, the pauses happen at the exact time frame before & after closing the app. I don't think memory/buffer is the problem. I strongly suspect the app isn't really optimized or the chip isn't powerful enough to process DSD. Does anyone own Neplayer, another iOS hi-res player, to compare?
 
Here's the data table of song size across many formats & compression rates (credit: Archimago's Musings, http://archimago.blogspot.com)

mine will get hot when its in my pocket.

 

[Mojo ideas]

the mobile device is the culprit. I play identical dsd files with foobar on both a mobile device and my home computer... the mobile device is prone to stutter, but my home rig never misses a beat.

this is my experience... I'm sure there is someone ready to contradict me

All DSD file playing is verydemanding of the processor 256 files are even more so

When it's switched on its not being charged and its doing nothing it will be generating just over one Watt of heat from the inactive electronics. This heat will be passed to its Aluminium case. It'd the case cannot convect or radiate that heat away its temperature will rise until its thermal shut down will operate. So it will feel warm. I'm sure your unit is behaving normally and mojo is just gently reminding you to turn it off when your not listening to it.

I meant when my Mojo is on and I am listening to music on the go I will have my stack (phone and mojo) in my pocket. When I take my stack out (no that sicko, I mean my phone and mojo) the Mojo wil be pretty hot. When the Mojo is off its cold.

Be careful Mojo might just end up with your winnings in some way or another (cable upgrade, custom interconnect........)

You know what I'm saying is true

Hey,
mojo + se846 + iphone 6 could be a good combination for the road? + for home using?
