Uhm...audiophile bomb....zx2+mojo+stock cables all the way ? Don't even know how to properly stack this correctly . Sony stock data cable is bulky

That looks like a task to carry

Yeah right... Know that this is resolved has anyone tried connecting a good old Cowon J3 via coax? Can't get it to work, do I need a specific 3,5mm cable?
Any suggestions on Android software? Usb audio player pro only works with display on... I do need the Tidal access.
Are there any experiences with a jitterbug after a smartphone, maybe even with a curious Hugo link?

Cheers,
Nick

So basically to try and modify a balanced cables would be a waste of time ? Well, perhaps it provides separated ground ? Or even the same ground was being used to split into 2 output as well ? If the 2 outputs grounds are joined inside, then there is no point to try balanced cables.

From the pictures previously in this thread. I can see that by modifying the cables to be balanced, the Mojo will have output signals separately for each channel even separated ground as well ? Should I even try this ?


Believe the ground would still be shared, so don't think this is worth the effort as would not be truly balanced. Cheers

I myself have a J3, and AFAIK, it has absolutely no ability to output digital in any way, shape, or form

Thanks Mython
Sad to hear this, I thought I read somewhere that people connected the J3 to amplifiers... So you are saying there is no possibility to connect the two? Did you try Otg USB?

Happy New Year,
Cheers,

Are you definitely referring to the J3, and not the P1?
 
The J3 has an analogue audio output, only (which isn't a true line-level line-out - it's just for earphone/headphones, but can be used, less-than-ideally, with the analogue input of a hi-fi amplifier).
 
The Mojo, on the other hand, accepts only digital input, so the J3 is unusable with a Mojo.
 
 
I can't help wondering if you perhaps mean a different Cowon DAP than the J3....

Thanks again,
No I mean the J3, just got my hopes up reading in a german board, but on second sight I realized the it was about the pseudo line out analog only... it's 5 pm here.. So I'M already getting warmed up for the evening :) Would have been a nice combo I bet... But this means only more reasons to get the Curius Hugo Link and a jitterbug... Or a qp1r... Or wait for the mojo add on... Exiting 2016...

Yes, I think 2015 has been quite a golden year for head-fiers, and 2016 looks set to continue that
 
We are so lucky now that technology, and the associated economics, have reached a point where it is possible to create seriously decent sound quality in a pocket-sized package, for an ever-widening marketplace.

My opinion, the Mojo was the best product introduced for the 2015 year!!! We will have to see what comes next year. Happy New year Everyone!!


This, but more on the performance/price/design as in a whole package. It is the one that worth and punch ways beyond it cost :D. A very bold move from Chord Electric.

Mojo is in my top three of the years best gadgets...

In no particular order, mojo, QP1R and Sony Z5 Premium (and MDR-NC750 in unison)

If only the Koreans would learn how to be less greedy to their customers....

I'm happy to see a British company making waves, in the marketplace, in all the right ways; proving that performance, price, & quality do not need to be mutually-exclusive.
