On a technical level it shouldn't matter at all if the source is doing its job properly. The Mojo should sound the same independent of the source when playing the same file if the source isn't adding any DSP (Digital Signal Processing) and the output of the source isn't adding any noise or distortion. With that said, some users have noted a difference between different sources. I wouldn't think the difference is night and day, and I certainly wouldn't think it would make the Mojo sound terribly bad from one source to the other. Of course each individual with have to determine if they hear a difference or not, whether it's psychoacoustics or an actual difference they hear.

On a side note, the AK 100mk2 is a great sounding DAP, and really small to boot.

Can't wait till my sys cable gets here :)

It's great and mine was shipped from Canada on a Monday and I received it in the UK two days later on the Wednesday.
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that the SysConcept cable would play files up to 192 kHz but the few DSD files that I have play fine too. Is everybody else able to play all DSD files?

The player converts DSD to PCM before it sends it to the Mojo over optical. If the sampling rate indicator is anything but white then the Mojo is not receiving DSD.

I have noticed, many of you guys use mojo with ak100. Is anyone willing to give me a brief description of the sound difference between ak100 and mojo? Thanks

Yes, I've had it a few weeks.   I had it paired to an iphone 6+, but the ergonomics with the CCX cable was a deal breaker for me.   Got a smoking deal on the 100mk2, and it just arrived today.   Just waiting on the sys cable.

Agreed totally, the only variable I can see could be how the DAP or source connects to the Mojo, USB for some may be more stable and reliable that some users here than S/PDIF or Toslink

I wonder if your impressions are down to how these are connected to your Mojo. Note 5 via USB may have a better connection for you than the Dx80 via S/PDIF

As a standalone unit in comparison to the two combined, I find that the AK100 does not have as detailed and wide a soundstage YMMV
That along with not being powerful enough to drive the more demanding head phones.
