Lavricables (best bet)

L19 (relibility?)

No Name (good reports in this thread)

HI,
 
I have the L19, and my one is not reliable.
 
It cuts out occasionally, and the large plastic shell at the iPhone end separated revealing the PCB. It's fairly complex (double sided PCB with 3 or 4 chips and passive components).
 
I've gone back to using the CCK and had no troubles.

  I started a project to try and build a part to hold both my Fiio X3ii and Mojo, in a side by side fashion, as I am not a fan of stacking. The final part I was trying to design, would hold both the devices in tact and, the entire unit could be handled as a single device like a tablet or a portable gaming console. 
 
This is my project: https://www.you3dit.com/projects/base-plate-for-chord-mojo-and-fiio-x3ii
 
Here is the schematic:
  
 
I couldn't see through the end of the project because, the Fabrication/Laser Cutting process is pretty expensive. I even got the 3D model designed. I can't upload the .STL file as the site doesn't allow/support it. PM me if you are interested in this and need the .STL file. The part could work with a X5ii too.
 
Since I couldn't get that done, I put together something similar out of lego blocks. I will be shortening the cable by an inch or 2, so that it does not form an arch.
 

 


Can you please show me the cable name/number and the link where you purchase the cable. Thanks.

This is an honest and respectful online community, where people do not start to laugh at a DAC and player attached to Lego components by a rubber band, but see the potential in it. I am happy to be part of such community.

  anyone using this for their mojo stack?
https://www.jdslabs.com/products/146/ultra-short-3-5mm-interconnect-cable/

 
That is a stereo cable that is used for analog signals. It wont work if you are planning on connecting a DAP to a Mojo. You need a Co-Axial cable to stack with a DAP.
 
EDIT:
If you are referring to stacking Mojo with a DAP, then my above answer applies.
But if you are asking if you can use that JDSLabs cable to connect Mojo through Line-Out to an Amp, then yes, it looks like it will work. But I will leave it to someone who has tested the cable to answer that question..
 
EDIT 2:
Apparently that cable can be used for connecting a DAP to a Mojo. See these posts:

Thanks for the cable information and link. By the way, what is the length of your cable? and what will be the optimal cable length  if two units are placed side by side?

I've been using the Lavricable for several months now. Overall, it is very reliable. The main problem I have is the USB input on the Mojo, which is VERY sensitive to any type of movement.

Not meaning to take the thread off-topic, but since we are in the business of seeking quality audio, I thought this is something that might be worth knowing/sharing:
