Shanling M1 plus a cable https://www.amazon.com/Shanling-M1-Lossless-Player-Portable/dp/B01LXZRUXE
Suffers from none of the electrical noise generated by phones, and can take a 256Gb card

I use my Mojo with a PC and studio speakers. I even have an $882 operating system (Windows Server 2016 Standard Core) and ~$137 optimization software (AudiophileOptimizer). However, the improvements of that software are less apparent with the Mojo than with the 2Qute. I've been using normal Windows and TOSLINK lately since it's less of a pain. Anyway, I'm only looking for enhancements that would apply to a home system, as I only listen to music at home. (Oh, and TOSLINK already electrically isolates the DAC.)

Putting out a feeler post.

Is there any interest in a package deal consisting of:
Mojo
iPod touch 128 GB, 6th gen
Penon lighting to micro USB cable

 

[maxh22]

True, but these things tend to be in the subtle category.

So which upgrades for the Mojo that cost under $200 would you personally recommend?/

Schiit recently announced the Eitr which is a high-quality USB to Spidif converter which they claim fixes the USB problem once and for all for a modest price of $180.

Ah that must be annoying dropping a grand on audio software only to find not worth the hassle at the moment.

I am aware, but it only outputs coaxial, and, from what I've read, Rob Watts said TOSLINK is the best input for the Mojo and Hugo. (I'm already using TOSLINK via a Behringer UCA202, so USB is not even a factor for me, and it only cost $30.)

Well, Windows Server has a free evaluation that can be extended multiple times, so I only paid ~$137 for AO.

What cable do i need to use the Eitr with mojo?

One USB cable, one Spdif Coax cable.

Mojo is designed to drive loudspeakers. You will be amazed hearing it fill the room with beautiful sound using efficient 8 ohm horn loudspeakers.

How loud would these speakers be able to get when driven by the Mojo?

https://emotiva.com/products/speakers/airmotiv-t1

Nominal impedance: 4 ohms
Efficiency: 88 dB (2.83V/1m)

Are 3.5 mm to speaker wire cables readily available without having to wait for a DIY builder?

Those are pretty inefficient speakers and I doubt you'd get much from the mojo without an external amp. Self powered speakers would be a better option and Emotiv have several models.

Doesn't Bluetooth downsample? Not enough sample data SQ-wise.

SQ is being sacrificed in some way with Bluetooth and/or CCK? That's what I'm trying to avoid for next purchase.

It shouldn't. If you transfer a file over BT, it's over BT. There shouldn't be any SQ at all because it's a purely digital transfer. You can transfer a video file from one device to another over BT and it's not any different when it gets there. The issue is the speed. Older BT protocols were too slow to able to stream at high bitrates so they downsampled to avoid juttering and skipping. BT4 does 25mbps, a hell of a lot higher than any files you're gonna throw at it.

I'm using JBL LSR305 powered nearfield studio monitors, but am toying with the idea of getting tower speakers. I did notice that one review recommended an amp that outputs 150W or more, so I guess I would need a speaker amp for that one.

Omega speakers have a range of high efficient speakers (94.5dB 8 Ohm, 99dB 4-6 Ohm) but I'm still not sure if the Mojo on its own would drive them loud enough, plus the low impedance may be an issue.

@romaz spoke pretty highly of them with the DAVE, but the DAVE has much more power output than the Mojo.

Yeah, he told me about driving those with his DAVE. However, I'm curious about floorstanding tower speakers (with many drivers) for the time being. The Klipsch R-26F (another one that caught my eye) is 8 ohms / 97 dB and is being sold for well below MSRP. If I got them, I'd probably use a vintage receiver to drive them, but could see how the Mojo fares as well.

One USB cable, one Spdif Coax cable.

Doesn't it need to be a 3.5mm to spdif cable? I dont see how i can connect it IF not. Could you please send a link or picture of the cable? Thank you and sorry im the worst at this

LE: The happiness hasn't lasted. The music stopped after 1min of playing. Apple needs to fix this!

I've got my Mojo and the Chord's case today. Super enthusiastic by the quality of sound, I am using it with a pair of (wired) B&W P5 and alternatively Audiotechnica ATH-M50.
I am keeping my DSD files stored on an iPhone 6S Plus running Kaisertone, connected to Mojo via Apple Lightning to USB 3.0 adapter: https://www.conrad.se/?websale8=conrad-swe&pi=1431336.
I don't experience the same interruptions as people are complaining about while using iOS 10.3.2. Did I've missed anything?
