@EagleWings, how do you get digital out from Sony a15 ? if it can be used as transport, it can be on of the the cheapest transport to mojo !

  Seriously considering buying a second Mojo as a gift through Amazon UK and having it shipped here to the states. The shipping speed you received was impressive. Was that normal shipping or Global Priority may I ask? BTW, is the Mojo you received the newer vintage with the inscribed housing or like mine with the sticker - just curious.

It was Amazon Global Priority.

I have not tried this cable myself, but I got this link from one of the threads here on Head-Fi a while back:
 
Edit: Apparently this cable does not work with the Mojo. Please see below post for the link to the cable to connect Sony Walkman to Mojo or Hugo

Please don't buy that cable to use a Sony DAP with Mojo - as quoted in post #3:
 

 

  This cable looks really interesting also!

This will not work with HUGO/Mojo. It works only with OPPO HA-2. There's a 20K Ohm resistor between pins 4 and 5.

 
 
 
 
 
 
To successfully connect a (suitable) Sony DAP to Mojo, you will need a 'Sony WMC-NWH10 USB Conversion Cable for Hi Res Audio Output'

Lavricable is NOT working with Mojo, iPhone 6S+, iOS 10.2 (14C5062e) version of the software.

I see you have the X3ii and Mojo, how are you liking that pairing? I just bought the X3ii and a cable from PETEREX coming soon I just need to order a Mojo. I just had one not to long ago and traded it for Opus#1 and now I want a Mojo again. You live and you learn I guess.

FWIW, I wouldn't recommend using a Sony DAP with Mojo, if it's intended for regular portable use.
 
I used a Sony NW-ZX1 with Hugo for a week (thankyou @ OK-Guy) and I found 2 things:
 
 

• The ZX1 battery life was appalling when feeding a digital signal to Mojo. I don't know it this was due to the decryption (or whatever it is Sony have implemented) guzzling CPU cycles, or some other bus-related reason, but, as many have noted, Sony DAPs just don't have good battery life when used as digital transports to DACs / DAC-amps.
• The reliability of the digital connection was superb - I was very impressed with how rapidly (almost instantaneously) & reliably the ZX1 would connect with Mojo - it never dropped the connection at all. Never.

 
 
So, good & bad...

 

[RPB65]

I don't understand why you would pair ZX2 with Mojo. The ZX2 is portability supreme with one of the best sounds you can get.
Mojo is also one of the best sounds you can get, however is different to me than the ZX2 sounds. I would not pair them up. However I do have all the music I need on my iPhone. That is a far far better streaming device than the ZX2 will ever be.

X3ii is one of the best transports for the Mojo in the price range IMO. The UI as well as the co-ax connection to Mojo is reliable and stable.

Cool, thanks. I was looking at buying the M1 but I think its to new and want to see the issues its having fixed first. Also, I want to see how that USB jack is going to hold up over time.

Crap.  I ordered one a few days ago.

Thanks! ...now heading over to Amazon's UK site to spend some money...

Hi guys, just curious, is there any audible difference between 16 and 24 bit audio? I currently stream tidal hifi, is the difference between 16 bit and 24 going to be easily noticeable? I dont know where or how I would listen to 2r bit audio?

Cheers

Unfortunately the judgement of audio quality is completely different (much more difficult and subjective) from video quality, say 4K video is clearly better than 1080P, but it's not necessarily the case when it comes to the comparison of 16bit and 24bit audio.
