I supposed Im assuming X RELIX X was referring to the Yellow RCA cable cable which is a coaxial cable, Ive used it with my X5 and DX90 in the past with no issues.

This works?

Yup, with the X5. Must've cross posted. Howdy should be able to confirm but I see no reason why it wouldn't.

On the X5 the signal is at the tip and the next pole is the ground and the other pole is ignored.

I'm not guaranteeing a noise free connection given that it isn't a 75 Ohm coaxial standard, but I hear nothing in the way of noise or hiss using a regular stereo 3.5mm interconnect. I haven't heard a short 75 Ohm coaxial interconnect so I can't comment on any differences from a custom cable.

This will be faster to sort:

This song is stuck in my head while I wait for my Mojo from Moon Audio.

So many "round" pegs in round holes ;-(

This is the cable Im using, forget the other picture just using this as an example. I will post pictures tomorrow.

Sorry to interrupt your regularly scheduled thread but I just received and ripped the Steven Wilson remix of Yes' 'Fragile' in gloriously, uncompressed 24/96. Stunning!


Now back to the thread.

As a reminder you can always make your own coax cable out of a mini-coax (RG179) cable and two Type F to 3.5mm mono adapters. Mine cost me only $12. Here's the instructions and details. Cheers

I gotcha, you're using the adaptor. And this is the one I'm using that works with the X5 and should also work with the dx90 if there's no other option. Just a regular stereo 3.5mm interconnect. Mind you it may not be optimal for shielding but I hear no noise, hum, hiss, etc.

For those of us with zero electronic knowledge, would you be able to provide links for making one for the DX90 as well as the X3ii which is, I believe, different from the X3?
Thank you.

That's the same one I'm using on the DX90 and X5.  In fact, every regular interconnect I own works just fine.

Wow, a regular 3.5mm interconnect? That's the first gen X5 I presume?

Yes, as I explained in my original post. :wink_face:

Edit: Now two pages ago! Hahahaha!

The C connector termination going into the phone has to be OTG to signal to the phone to be a host, not enough to have an OTG cable in the chain.

There's no more OTG with USB C.

 

[Clemmaster]

No. I used the USB C to USB A lead included in the box. Connected that to a USB OTG micro cable and into the Mojo.

I will try tomorrow. Maybe I'm tired and making an error.

You need a USB C to micro B (Amazon).

Alternatively you can use a USB C to USB A female ("OTG like") cable and the Mojo's USB A to micro B (like you would do with a simple OTG cable).

You certainly don't want to connect a OTG cable in the Mojo.
