I use the touch for tidal and spotify and to a wireless 500gig hdd.


I have a subscription to Tidal Hi-Fi but can only access it from my laptop as my Galaxy S5 won't allow it to work with an external DAC. I'm thinking about picking up a 6th gen iPod Touch and don't really care about the lack of storage. Do you have any problems streaming lossless music?

Love my Classic. Im planning on using an iPhone 6S or iPad Mini with streaming Tidal. I would think the iPod Touch would be a good option, just have to plan your playlists.

 
Unfortunately it's still slightly too small for a 3 week trip when travelling light and I can't switch libraries (no laptop, and home broadband is far too slow to put my library online). 200G is currently optimal but I'm still buying new music, so 256G would give me some headroom.
 
Plus I already have plenty of screens and usable players so I think storage is the way to go, cheap and capacious!

32GB Note 4 with 128GB SD using UAPP from flac/DSD stored on phone then Google Play streaming through UAPP with Bubbleupnp to get correct 44kHz frequency so nothing upscalling/downscaling source material

How much is Mojo behind Hugo and AK240, DX100 in SQ?


IMO it's very close to Hugo but voiced a bit differently (some will prefer one, some the other - I personally like the Mojo better) and it is much more enjoyable than the AK240. I don't have much experience with the DX100. Definitely worth checking out. And your upcoming Onkyo would likely make a really good transport for the Mojo. Cheers

AK100 / AK120 MEMORY CARD LIMIT?

Before purchasing an AK100 or AK120I just would like to make sure that the units can accommodate larger capacity memory cards such as 128GB or even 200GB, i.e., that there is no internal restriction on the use of such cards. Does anyone know?

Reason I ask is that AK's description mentions only up to (I think) 64GB. I do know that the newer AK units can take much more but I don't know about the older models such as the AK100 and AK120

Thanks very much.

Good point but others already covered this a day or two ago here. Cheers

That would solve the issue of having too little music.

I've been looking at the Seagate wireless drives to use with my iPhone and iPad (as the Classic is obsolete with the Mojo's arrival), is that what you have? Or maybe the Toshiba Aeromobile, smaller capacity but solid state.


I use a verbatim media server which has built in wlan and internal power bank I connect it one of two 500 GB harddrives. And it steams all my flac files effortlessly using the file manager app.

Oh and it cost me £25

My phone contract is up for renewal in a month or so and I am thinking of going for the Sony experia z5 as it has 32gig onboard memory and capacity for 200 gig sd, and is obviously suitable for use with streaming services. Plus it's a considerably cheaper option than the 128gb iPhone alternative.

I have ordered it a few days ago. The expected shipment is unfortuantelly in a few weeks. I will let you know how it works after I get it.

The AK players seem to be mentioned quite a lot but guys we are forgetting that by using players that only digital out optical we are missing out on the dsd native decoding by the mojo.

Just for that reason recommendations should be around similar sized smartphone with airplane mode on and the Sony players with USB out.
