Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

More of my playing for a smartphone solution with super storage potential

 
My Note 4 connected via OTG cable to a 3 port  USB hub with Mojo and a 256GB USB stick all working. Though files only play out at android unscaled 192kHz (Blue) 

 

 

Battery will drain in two, three hours.

I have a subscription to Tidal Hi-Fi but can only access it from my laptop as my Galaxy S5 won't allow it to work with an external DAC. I'm thinking about picking up a 6th gen iPod Touch and don't really care about the lack of storage. Do you have any problems streaming lossless music?

 
As I was getting too much interference with my phone paired with the mojo, I went out and bought a used Sony Xperia Z2 for £110. I can now get Tidal working with my mojo, plus adding  200GB micro sd card in the phone gives me enough space to install most of my hirez DSD collection and have enough space for 00000 of hifi Tidal downloads as well.

 
Much cheaper than getting the 128gb itouch or even the older 64GB itouch (not including the sd card purchase)

Good point but others already covered this a day or two ago here. Cheers

 


And the answer is?

Obviously I missed that discussion somehow.

AK100 / AK120 MEMORY CARD LIMIT?

Before purchasing an AK100 or AK120I just would like to make sure that the units can accommodate larger capacity memory cards such as 128GB or even 200GB, i.e., that there is no internal restriction on the use of such cards. Does anyone know?

Reason I ask is that AK's description mentions only up to (I think) 64GB. I do know that the newer AK units can take much more but I don't know about the older models such as the AK100 and AK120

Thanks very much.

I had 200GB and 128GB in my AK100 and no issues at all.
 
So you can get two 200GB micro sd cards in it.

great idea, I didn't realise that any Sony previous to the z3 supported hi res, but if it covers all the formats, has expandable storage and lets you stream when you want to looks like a good solution. How does it sound?

The Z1 up to Z5 supports Tidal streaming to the mojo, but you would still need to buy an app like the USB audio pro or Onkyo Hf in order to play hirez files from the Sony. 
 
Sounds good enough for me

The AK players seem to be mentioned quite a lot but guys we are forgetting that by using players that only digital out optical we are missing out on the dsd native decoding by the mojo.

Just for that reason recommendations should be around similar sized smartphone with airplane mode on and the Sony players with USB out.

The only reason I'm advocating the baby AK players is for their form factor, for a neat stack...

That and I only actually have three or four DSD tracks, everything else that is remotely above redbook is logically only up to 24/192 which the AK does with ease...

There's another advantage. Over 400 GB potential capacity and optional remote control for AK players.

The AK is excellent if you're not into streaming apps like Tidal etc. Sold mine because of this

  How much is Mojo behind Hugo and AK240, DX100 in SQ?

Compared to the AK240, the Hugo is the clear winner, its not even a question.

Why not get one of the "compact" models, for a better stack? I'm considering the z5 compact for my next phone, and stacking this with the mojo for a decent iem setup, so I'm curious about your decision.

Its easy enough to get tidal on your AK player.

Interesting thread with Mojo mentioned.

 

[musicday]

Nobody yet tried Mojo with Westone ES60?
Anyone?
