Ahh old forum memories :'(

I wonder how some of you hook LPS to Mojo considering it takes only USB from source and has it own battery..?

Thanks.

iOS 10.3.3 beta 2 just released. installing now; fingers crossed...

Which Apple devices do you own and what did iOS 10.3.3 restore/break?

FIIO X5II to Mojo.. will this work? My tester suggest it will.. (waiting for my mojo to tryout..)
.. stock FIIO X5III coax adapter ---> normal RCA with 3,5 (left ch connected)

iOS 10.3.2 broke USB power functionality through the Apple CCK. the audio will stop playing through Mojo but the iOS device will show the song as still playing.

but the problem still exists. tried out Fiio x5iii and it seems that doesn't work through USB to Mojo either... going to return the x5iii. waiting patiently for Poly!

You could also try the coax out from of the Fiio x5 in the meantime.

The X7 has been around for 2 years and they still haven't got OTG working on it yet so I wouldn't hold my breathe for a fix anytime soon.

Thanks - this has happened because of the changeover to a different forum platform, a couple of weeks ago, which broke so many links and so much functionality that it has had many longtime members pulling their hair out or wringing their hands in despair (or both), with some even deserting the site and their membership, in disgust.

As a simple fix, I just tried to delete the links you mentioned, from post #2 /#3, and this miserable forum software, not content with wrecking those posts, won't even let me do something as simple as edit the content.

"The submitted message is too long to be processed. Please shorten it"


I refuse to delete thousands of words of content that took 2 years to compile.

So, my hands are tied. I can only apologise to Mojo owners whose ready-reference has been substantially ruined, but there is very little I can do about this sorry state of affairs.

Thankyou for taking the time to report it, though.

Never have I seen a site formerly used everyday on my phone so vastly ruined the user experience and I say this as a professional software business-analyst.

provided that you where using the correct cable to connect the 2 units - i also have the X7 before and they just simply fail in delivering their promises with the firmware, they are so disappointing! so i might advise you to look elsewhere if you want a transport for your Mojo.

Previously I said that I changed the PSU of my PC (Corsair RM1000i) and the sound improved dramatically using Mojo, optical sounded worse than before this change so optical is not an option for me.
Just upgraded my PC to Ryzen 1700X and Asus crosshair vi hero. I thought the sound was clear and clean before (just with RM1000i) but now it's another big step in sound quality with Mojo and also with Nano IDSD. I didn't changed the cables, only the motherboard/cpu/ram. I wonder how much the sound can be improved, because I don't understand what's happening, why I'm getting different results changing stuff around.
Pretty sure the s/pdif converter into digital from Mojo is just poor quality. USB Async will always win in cheap devices below $1k.
And pretty sure s/pdif is there just for ease of use if you don't have USB or other reason, not something to replace USB.
I've seen reports of getting better results on optical, but not on cheap DACs, Chord won't include a $50 s/pdif converter into a $500 DAC.
And maybe some people reports better sound on optical, just because the USB signal is full of noise and claim optical as being their favourite.

Coax and USB out from X5iii into Mojo both work fine. The lastest firmware has enabled it.

Then we all set

that seems to throttle me at 44.1khz (red light on Mojo) for all resolutions (Fiio app and Hibymusic, I recognize Tidal will always be red). is that normal or am I doing something wrong?

USB gives me clicks and pops... doesn't seem to work.
