@heliuscc - I went through the same thought process and settled for the DP-X1 but as a standalone, and pair with the Mojo, second hands AK100 and X3ii

I'm still on my mission for a new transport for my mojo.
The DX50 is nice sounding but the touchscreen does my head in.
The Sony A15 is ok, sounds decent through mojo and is a nice and light combo, but it's not quite there.

So, to the shortlist:
Ibasso DX80 - This sounds like it has a fair amount of firmware issues, pops, clicks etc etc. Shame as it looked ok.
Onkyo DP-X1 - This is probably the favourite right now, but is a big unit and only really available at pricejapan, in a while....
AK100ii - Tempting but AK is overpriced, but have found one for £639, which is £160 under UK RRP
Sony Xperia Z3 compact - Get one second hand for less than £200, will it be as good as a DAP though.

I'm thinking that for ease of use and alloeing the full gamut of freqs that USB OTG is the way forward here, and the Onkyo will also do MQA, but will anybody else use MQA anyway?
Feel a bit like I'm going round in circles to be honest.
What's peoples opinions on best transport??

 

I got an Ak100 mk2. You can get one for 399 on Amazon. Best size match.

Shame on you! He did his best work before that.....though Sexual Healing was great.

Always the joke is lost when explained ..... Getting over flu...? But of course I have all his great works too.

Bah, irony is so often lost on me. Forgive me.

Which input from a DAP offers the best sound quality?

Which input from a DAP offers the best sound quality?

Any of the digital ones I would imagine

 

[ken6217]

I assume that the DAC and amp section of the DAP is bypassed since the Mojo would be solely handling that. Correct?

If so, then I would imagine that when picking a player to use with the Mojo, the only areas to look at are non sound quality areas such as user interface, hard drive size, etc?

Thanks.

Correct. Digital either works or it doesn't. You won't for example get better sq from USB over coaxial.
If you want to utilise the dap's DAC, then listen via line out to the mojo.

Mojo has no Analog input...Mojo is only Digital inputs device

My apologies. I don't own one. I plan on getting one though. I would've thought line in would've been a feature.

No line-in, only data-in, and no pre-amp (true) line-out and only headphones line-out, but this shouldn't be the problem. However the price, performance, design, the Mojo is worth it . Now, why don't Chord produce DAP ? I would jump on the train lol

Double blue should do it for you!

Thank you. I will post this on the much shorter Mojo Issue Solutions Thread, then it won't get buried. You're the best.
 
EDIT: There, done it. Post 61 on page 5. http://www.head-fi.org/t/788913/chord-mojo-issue-solutions-thread/60#post_12214942
 
2nd EDIT: I just found that Rob Watts also relied to this. Thank you too, for post 8201. I didn't see it at first because I clicked Mojo Ideas's post from my email.

Agreed, Mojo sounds great with IPA input! and the West Coast wakes up to 50 more posts.
