Duncan, you've got me so close to grabbing an AK120 Titan!!!! :veryevil:
Great [sonic] synergy with the Mojo too (warrenpchi did a comparison of all the AK DAPs a while ago, and FWIW he was bang on the money with regards to the AK120)...

Tempted enough yet?? ;)

  Personally, if I'm going to use the AK240, I'm going to use it by itself. I should have added to my photo that I was using it with the Mojo only for comparing while at the Tokyo show. It also shows how small the Mojo is. 
 
I'll be mostly using the Mojo with an 11" MacBook Air. 


Interesting that you say this. I was kind of expecting the MOJO to obliterate the AK240. If what you're saying is right than I need to rethink this. I would rather have a one box solution unless the difference is significantly big.

  If it's glass, it's got class....if it's plastic fibers,pass!
 
...very noticeable improvement with glass...


I do not agree. Sys concepts has been using multi fiber, 1300 for some time. The transmission quality is excellent and the cable holds up better than glass. I have used non glass, glasses for a long time and prefer both the transmission quality and lenses and while this is far from an optical fiber, fibers other than glass have come a long ways. There are some non glass fibers that are actually superior to glass.

I think Currawong put it best. The ak240 as a one box solution will be great and adding a mojo to it is kinda redundant!

But what Duncan is talking about is just using a dedicated and cheaper transport for on the go mojo use. which the now retired ak120, is a perfect fit, size wise, physically and electronically!

The original has better form factor (as the screen is at the top, and doesn't have that extension as the mkii has), but heed the advice from yesterday from a poster who advised that some 120s had problems with (hi-res) optical out if the cable wasn't of a good enough quality (this might have been fixed with a firmware update)...

Seemingly the Titans were unaffected by this (I can attest with a standard patch cable I can do 24/192 with no problem)

Don't forget though if after a totally matching stack (size wise) the original 100 will be better (not to mention that it is black too!)

That what I'm pairing with the Mojo.  I think Chord went out to match the size of the original AK100 while coming up with the size for the Mojo.

Isn't the standard 120 black too??
I like the 120 titan's color, but I couldn't find any on sale. Lots of black 120 though.

My use for mojo, will be mostly desktop atm. That's why my dilemma between the 120 &120ii.

Ahh, sorry, I suppose that is why the "Titan" was a $200 extra cost option back in the day, must be said that I scorned AK for a couple of years, so didn't follow that closely...

I guess I can officially call myself a hypocrite now, but time and circumstance changes the ballpark :)

Is there any plans to release some official otg cables?

JF yes we will shortly have two cables blister packs one Andriod one Apple. They will have various bits of getting you started hardware rubber bands and the like. We can't advise a price yet as we don't know ourselves.

Will the apple cable contain a chip to negate the need for the CCK cable?
