Thanks.
I was tempted by something better as the SupraZAC at £32, but I will try then a more cost effective one.
I have just ordered Mojo with a KabelDirekt - PRO Series 1m for £4.79. I will get both this Friday!    Musical weekend ahead

that states:
"Under test, the optical input worked to 192kHz from our spectrum analyser, only occasionally becoming intermittent, but 192kHz music files did not play at all from my Astell&Kern AK120 over Chord's own short optical cable. This behaviour is common via optical S/PDIF because the cables and TOSLINK connectors cannot reliably support the data rate 192k imposes. It isn't a Mojo problem."
 
It is said even Chord optical cable cannot handle it. So maybe in this case the problem is the AK120?

  I have a serious problem with my mojo.............................................
 
 
......... He has gotten into my IEMs a full orchestra ........... guauuuuuu all sounds great ....... from Hans Zimmer to Billie Jean to Prodigy, from Spotify to Onkyo HF ........... thank you thank you Chord.
 
 
 
Now it ask, how some portable amplifier to improve even more this beast with Full Headphones?

Adding an amp will add distortion. If you like the sound of the Mojo, it is fully capable of driving all but the most demanding full sized headphones such as HE6.

So it seems most optical cables can not handle 192k reliably.

I have a couple of cheap optical cables and the one supplied with my Hugo and they all play 24/192 from my AK100ii without any problem.

Very happy to hear that. Would you have a possible explanation for this suprising report from hi-fi world?

Allow me to proffer an explanation, if I may:

Would you apply/suggest that explanation to this specific report or to any/most report regarding optical cables?

my main options are HE-400i, HE-560, AKG K712 or Audeze EL-8. I'm looking for an open headphone for all types of music. For EDM  and Gaming I have the V-moda Crossfade Wireless
 
"TusOjillos Negros - Camaron de La Isla" + Mojo ..... big big big sound

I run the HE-560 from Hugo and it usually stays between the default startup volume "green" and "light blue". The Mojo will happily drive all the options in your list.

thank you very much. How is the HE-560 + mojo sound with all kinds of music? Have you been able to prove the HE-400i or EL-8 Open for comparison?

I've not heard them with the Mojo, just confirming that the Mojo has the power to drive them really well and based on the relative efficiencies - all the others in your list as well. It looks like a good sample for you to audition.
