You might like the flc tech flc8s. Great IEM.

Thanks for the input, I am due to audition the ones on the loaner program sooner than later I hope.

Never tried IEM that was even close to the sonic experience of a mid-fi open back pair of headphones.

Just my 2 cents.

Portability justifies IEMs, of course. But experiencing limitless sound quality with no compromise is only possible with open back full size hps. IMO.

I hear u, I had a lot of headphones , I still have the HE500 which I read someone saying they sounded fantastic with the mojo, which is hard to believe because they r very hard to drive, but the mojo works wonders so it might just be the case. I have to give the 2 a try. I have w3000, hd600, nighthawks and others, but I listen to my IEMs more than anything else just because they are much more convinient.
Thanks for your input

That is generally true. However, iems now a days are not far off a midfi open back. For me, I think a good top end iem can compete with a good mid end closed back. Open full size, I think, will always be king. However, when I want total silence and portability there is no beating iems for sound and ease of use.

  You are playing music out over the windows direct sound driver. You need to add the wasapi plugin to Foobar then set foobar to use the wasapi output instead of the direct sound. You should be able to google around and find guides on "setting up wasapi with foobar" otherwise you are going through the windows mixer which resamples audio to whatever your playback device is set to.

 
Thanks, Danthrax, your feedback was very helpful! I must say the sound quality boost is amazing and I can now enjoy listening to hi-res tracks. The power button changes its color accordingly.

Yurivv in foobar go to file - preferences - playback - output - device - and you should see, chord async usb there.

 
Thanks, problem sorted.

I've also sorted out the issue with the Hiby player for Android devices so I'll post it here in case anyone needs it. You have to launch the Hiby Music player and leave it on (don't minimize or close the app), then connect Mojo to your Android device and wait for a confirmation message to appear. Tap the ok button (that will allow the application to stream music through Mojo) and enjoy any sample rate you want.

Mojo works brilliant with the LCD-X!

  Having just listened to the 8 Ensembles in One bit Dsd256 in Jriver 21 through the Mojo and a pair of He-500's my mind is blown..  Absolutely amazing!

What an amazing recording!! Sounds great with Mojo and HE560's.

  I've already edited my previous post with the link you require...

Many thanks uzi2, I eventually found the hidizs box with said cable in it and then the adaptor from a fiio dac/amp box, after a few insertions here and there, bingo i have music.
The headaches i've suffered with, squinting at the screen for hours on end these last few days have paid off at last.

There is a gap under each of my headphones out. Is this a problem? Seems to be a poor built...

Mine has the same thing but I don't consider it a fault as the jacks do not move whatsoever.  It seems to me the majority of your post in this thread are you trying to find faults with the mojo.  If you need to dig this hard to find faults why not just return it or sell it and move on.

I have HD600, but i use my earbud VE ZEN 2.0 (320 Ohms), now a days i hardly touch the HD600.
I will buy more Earbuds, some with 400 Ohms. 
I personally can't wear Headphone for hours, may be 30 mins max, but with Earbuds i can wear for hours and enjoy the music with my cute Mojo
