I ordered a mojo yesterday at around 1pm on custom cable (7 mojo were in stock on the website). Since it is still not shipped yet I asked when the shipping was scheduled. I just received an email from one of your colleagues telling that given the high demand I will have to wait for the next batch that should arrive soon. At the same time your website still indicates 5 mojo in stock.
 
I can wait, no worries, but given all the message blaming Moon Audio for the delays, I'm quite surprised that you post messages like this to let us know that you have more stock than other shops.

 
Same experience here. I ordered on Tuesday when the system showed 11 in stock only to receive a similar email 3 days later telling me Chord had let them down. I'm a patient person but it's disappointing customer service all the same.

Digital cables are never my favourite topic, a great example of how the audio industry shoots itself in the foot.Too many variables scare many people off.

So just for a laugh I used a cheap ifi analogue 3.5 to 3.5 between DX90 and Mojo and it works perfectly. So I try a few others (fiio, Kimber and QED) and every single one works, so dont worry about finding a specialised coax cable. It seems analogue will do the job.


It works but you forgot digital impedance matching, an analog cable is not set at 75 ohms so you are trying to fit a round peg in a square hole. It'll be marginal at best. You can make your own or buy an already built one which will give you unneeded cable signal reflection.

I can hardly imagine that this makes an audible difference.

I use to feel that way about earphone cable upgrades. Until I tried it.

It sure will, it'll cancel out some of the digital input signal which will be in possibly two forms, amplitude reduction and possible phase shift all that translated by the DAC so if you feel you cannot hear the difference then just try an experiment with the two cables and hear the difference.

It's been transferred from stick to z5, 24/44 files.
I think you can still buy it. I have the original LPs and these high res flacs are the best way to hear the Fabs

There is one on amazon now.


Thanks, really tempting!
Some seriously expensive times ahead with Mojo planned to mate with my Z5C and a shipload of new music to be acquired!
I am now looking @ Tidal, would that be a viable alternative, anybody?

  Does the cable hold the stack together? I.e. is it sturdy enough to keep the AK & Mojo in place?

Nope. The stack should be banded/velcro/etc. together to hold the pieces in place, especially since the Mojo is a bit heavy. The cable is not fragile, but i's also not that strong. Cheers

but the sound is perfect, can't fault it!
