Several members around here also insist that $800 cables are worth it and that they can tell MQA from FLAC, so watch out.

If I can't hear the fly on the wall of the recording studio rustling it's butt hairs... then I don't have enough resolution in my rig. I will have to upgrade.

Yeah to be honest I do believe in high quality usb cables myself
I love my Forza cables and will soon build my own... just for fun

And I do like what galvanic isolation does to my setup...so I will likely try if grounding brings something to the table.

But hey each to their own!

Mojo will convert digital to analog when you connect your phone via OTG cable.

The next question is : Will it be bit perfect or will Androids upsampling process interfere

For bit perfect Tidal playback on Android many use the App UAPP ... not 100 percent sure about Spotify, since I don't have it.

Cheers

+1 UAPP is a must-have app for android. For the functions and ease of use it is a bargain!

Yes, but you only can stream Tidal.
UAPP has not implemented Tidal offline as Tidal has not granted them with the license. This is bad for me as when travelling I play Tidal offline. Tidal support explained me the USB android driver you can find in Android-based DAPs is an implementation of ALSA Linux Drivers replacing te default embedded in Android 5 and above that does upsampling as you don't need to handle other sound sources like phone, alarms, etc.

It is a pitty UAPP does not build a pure USB Android driver to play Tidal natively. I offered them extra money for this product. After iOS fiasco with CCK I wanted to use my Oneplus 3 android smartphone but due to Tidal offline lack I am being forced to buy a mid-fi DAP to pair with Mojo.

In the sub $500 I have down selected FiiO X5III and Cayin i5.
Which one all of you recommend to me?
Any other alternatives?

Take a look at the Onkyo DP-X1 and DP-S1 as well.

I will do.
Do you know if both of them or at least one of them allow digital output to Mojo preferably coaxial?

 

[rbalcom]

How does going to a DAP solve your issue of up sampling or no Tidal offline? Android has the same limitations in DAPs as in phones, unless you know something I don't.

I don't unfortunately. I know the X5iii does I've been looking at them as well, but since I have the X5iii.... I might wait another year or two before looking again.

 

[audi0nick128]

Dp x1 has USB out

Dp s1 is supposed to get USB out, later on

NO coax for both

For some reason some DAPs can stream Tidal offline, without upsampling.

I believe they have custom drivers (they may not be using the Android audio driver set).
