I'm trying to consider a cheap transport for my Mojo. Which one would you guys pick and why?

Hi,

if a "portable" gear isn't necessary what you would choose between these paths:

1) iPhone>Tidal>Mojo>HD650

2) iPhone>Tidal>Dragonfly red>Little Dot MKIII (or another tube one)

They are the same price, maybe the Mojo path is the most "easy" but I am afraid about the interferences with the phone near. Also, the Mojo doesn't support iOS natively.

Please advice...

If you don't put Mojo on top of iPhone there is almost like no interference for me.

So do you use iphone, mojo and hd650? Did you try tidal?

For me it wouldn't even be a question: mojo. For me, there is some interference but only if the phone is right next to the Mojo and I don't use it that way, I'm always sitting somewhere so it's trivial to keep them 6 inches apart. As for the 650, I can't say, but I have a 600 and it sounds great. Tomorrow I'm going to start demoing a Jot so I'll see if there's a drastic difference. As for the DFR, it doesn't really have a place for me, especially given it's price ... for desktop I'd get a Modi/Magni3 for that. The Mojo is to my ear the best sound for it's package size, and has a unique sound (which i like and so far prefer), but it does have competitors like a mimby/m3 stack, mimby/jot for $100 more than the mojo, or the similarly priced or cheaper iFi idsd black label. none of those will be as portable as the mojo. but if you want tubes, massdrop has a darkvoice that just went up

Yes, Tidal is my main music source and I can say that iPhone/Macbook > Tidal > Mojo > HD650 is the best way to listen to music at home for me (like I do at the moment). I love listening this way. But I am pretty sure my wife is not happy about it :))
