Thank you! So I think I've figured out the "problem", the songs where probably always playing in the correct sample rate but it didn't change on the mojo until I used it in exclusive mode. So I guess the Mojo will be red all the time even if you play higher samples. I wasn't playing any other audio while I was using Tidal. But I guess the Mojo thinks there is other audio playing?

I ran all six 10.3.3 betas on my iPhone 6s+ without a single drop out but am now reluctant to install 10.3.3 final.

Can anyone here confirm that 10.3.3 has solved their CCK dropouts and which iDevice and CCK they are using.

Thanks

Here's what I have to offer and its clear as mud. With the original CCK cable and updated to 10.3.3
Iphone 6s works for a few minutes and then says not supported
Ipad Mini 2 seems to work fine

The Mac OS audio changes the output sample rate to what is set for the device in the Audio MIDI Setup app (Utilities Folder). Once set, the selection is remembered each time the Mojo is reconnected. Using Tidal in the exclusive mode bypasses the Mac OS audio and sends it to the Mojo unchanged. If you play Master quality tracks, the ball color will be yellow or green. All others will be red.

Ignoring the CCK connection and iOS software issues, is it the consensus that the CCK is considered a weak link SQ-wise? I've read one person's opinion that this is the case.

I don't feel that's the case, but I'm not a believer in different USB cables making any kind of difference in the sound quality. I've had great sound with the CCK with my Mojo and now Hugo 2.

Agree...key with cck cables is that they're a bit on the fragile side...bending and unbending them will eventually break some connection inside...I now keep mine in the bent position with an elastic around it even when unplugged and recharging it (used with mojo and iPod touch6).

Thanks. I figure CCK is close to an native port on a iDevice, but after reading certain posts not quite sure.

Yes, Mojo sounds dynamic with the CCK. Going for the Hugo₂ and an Apple Watch for wireless controls. Know iAudioGate supports Apple Watch and watched a Japanese Youtube video of someone using Apple Watch with NePLAYER.

Did you ever test the CCK with a Curious Cable?

Just upgraded my iPhone 6s Plus to 10.3.3 and no issues with USB 3 CCK--->Jitterbug---->Mojo, plays
flawlessly as usual. Not sure why a few of us here are having issues.

If it isn't working reliably, are you using the newer (and firmware upgraded) USB 3 CCK?

Nope. no need..my CCK cable works just fine.

So the older/smaller far more portable USB2 CCK adapter still doesn't work anymore?

it may still work, but I've moved on to the USB 3 CCK which I now think may work better and/or may be better supported. Worth a try,
it can be returned if not helping. Would like to know if it does fix the issue tho.

Do you hear any SQ improvement using the USB 3 CCK? I remember reading somewhere that the new CCK apparently sounds better than the old one :O

10.3.3 cured my dropouts it seems. Thank FF that.

I reported earlier that the smaller CCK was working with my iPad mini but not iphone 6S. The iPhone seems to be working now. I'll keep playing this weekend.
I realize it makes no sense

Who else wishes there was a separate Mojo thread for Apple users?
