Slightly off topic. Funnily enough I tried Tidal yesterday on my Iphone, took the free trial to find what all the fuss was about.
Comparing to Spotify, I opened up identical tracks on both apps, making sure they were exactly the same track from the same album.
Genres varied between Jazz, Classical and Dance.
Rather than play one track on Spotify then play the same track on Tidal - (by the time you restart the track your expectation bias kicks in) I did this..
I set up Spotify to play the first 30 seconds, 00:00 - 00:30 and then had Tidal play the next 30 seconds, 00:31 - 01:00 and so on to the end of the track.
I found there was no difference in audio quality between the apps when identical tracks were playing. It sounded like the same track was being played between both apps, with nothing more than a brief pause in between. I focused as hard as I could on different aspects of each track, listening to details in each instrument, listening for slight timbre differences, nada.
i urge anyone who uses either Spotify or Tidal to take out a trial with the other app, bouncing back and forth between apps in 30 second snippets, in random order. Don't leave it too long between each 30 seconds, switch as quick as you can. Ensure the wave volume of both Spotify and Tidal is set to maximum (bit perfect) and only controlled via the Mojo.
After a while you will begin to forget which app is playing the track.
A true testament that there is no perceivable difference. Data wise, maybe, but data that my brain can interpret?
Has anyone compared the Mojo to the Chord 2Qute? I have a Mojo but am tempted by a 2Qute. I didn't notice major differences between the Mojo and Hugo, but I guess the Mojo may produce slightly warmer sound. However, the 2Qute may be more convenient for long term use with a PC. If there isn't any major benefit in getting a 2Qute I'd rather save my money. Thanks in advance.
Really enjoying my Mojo. Would like to know if there is any way to turn off the lights completely. Even when I have them dimmed, they are annoying to have on all the time. Thanks for any help.
then you need to check if the onkyo app starts automatically when usb dac is detected. that would block tidal and all other apps from using the usb dac. check in settings
that one does all the others can but it has something to do with newer phones usb.older phones can get over 12 players to work. There are ways around your road block but I lack skills.

A lot of you are saying things like "Oh yea, after I got mojo I spent way more on audiophile stuff, I got more headphones, etc". Something similar happened to me, I spent way more too-but on music. Even genre's I disliked got money thrown their way. #stereophile #metalbandcamp

I had Mojo and Beyerdynamic T1 and was all happy, but spoiled so I needed in ear monitors and one led to another and more dissatisfaction until sold and had to land more expensive in ear!
Mojo initially saved me money. I sold desk top DAC and desk top Amp (both fine quality) and I sold portable DAC/Amp. Everything replaced by Mojo.
Now I have the Beyer AK T8 ie for portable and the T1.2 for home.
Next will be the fancy larvicable and then the nice protective cover for Mojo and then the module for Mojo.
