Anyone looking for a digital coax from X3ii or X5ii to mojo and don't want to spend an arm and leg for one check out Dyson Audio on ebay.  He just started making them.  He's waiting on right angle connectors right now and should have them any day now.  Great guy and makes some awesome cables.  Here's the link for the fiio to mojo digital cable.

He also informed me he can make them for pretty much any DAP to DAC/AMP combo.

I see you have both the PHA-3 and the Mojo. I am just curious about how they compare, if you could write a few sentences on it :)

 
I have sold the PHA-3 a few months ago, and my Mojo is still out for repair (a bit worrying btw, almost a month out...), but I'd say this : Mojo just wowed me in a way the PHA-3 never did although it was very good especially balanced. That's from memory (to take with a grain of salt, memory can play tricks...) Mojo sound more forward overall, it packs more punch the dynamics is so spectacular, low level detail retrieval never striked me as much as the Mojo too. I'd say the PHA-3 has better separation balanced.

What was wrong with your Mojo that it needed to be repaired?

Is this what I need, to work with mojo?

Inside the Mojo?


Dude, other way around. The Mojo has a TOSlink optical connection (square) and the cable is 3.5mm mini optical. I've posted pics earlier in the thread, but here it is again....

That's great. Many thanks.

I agree on the pha3 having good separation. I was definitely drawn to it.

I'll re listen to the mojo with your comparisons in mind.

I'm. Afraid to buy something of aweful quality and be at a loss of sound quality... I just don't know which one to get....


For the cost there really is minimal risk. Optical either works or not at the intended sampling rates. A sub-standard cable may only allow enough data through for 24/96 but a quality cable will allow enough bandwidth for 24/192 material. Either way the adaptor should not make much difference unless the lens is dirty or scratched. Just grab one man.
